The polyvinyl chloride debate: Why PVC remains a problematic material

HCWH Europe, with the input and support of 18 leading health and environmental organisations, has released a paper presenting a detailed insight into the complexity of health and environmental issues associated with the entire life cycle of PVC. All current evidence supports the simple proposition that PVC is problematic and that it presents significant, often avoidable health issues - the paper also includes examples of already successful phase-outs of PVC.
