description This review’s main purpose is to draw attention to the possible influence of widely used bisphenols on the inflammatory process. Bisphenols are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are produced worldwide in great quantities. From this point of view, it is very important to clarify their influence on innate immune reactions, which protect the integrity of the body against the action of various pathogens on a daily basis. The inflammation process consists of several key factors that are produced at different levels of this reaction. Each of these levels can be affected by endocrine disruptors, from the point of view of modifying either the immune system cells that intervene in this process or the way in which they produce inflammatory mediators. The development of new recommendations for the use of bisphenols is a complex issue given their influence on inflammatory processes. Because the immune system and immune response are so intricate, bisphenols may pose more risk to humans than is presently recognized. This paper discusses the classification of bisphenols, the fundamental mechanism of inflammation, the characterization of inflammatory mediators, and the current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms behind the impact of bisphenols on the inflammatory response.
