Vinyl Chloride and Occupational Cancer

It was manufactured exclusively for polymerization into polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a plastic used in construction, packaging, electrical, and transportation industries; in household products such as flooring, water piping, videodiscs, and credit cards; and in medical products such as disposable intravenous bags, tubing, and bedpans. In 1974-1975, the disclosure that vinyl chloride exposure had caused rare liver cancers in worker led the recently created U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to issue an emergency standard to ptotect workers. VC and PVC production plants had to reduce workplace exposure levels from 500 ppm to 1 ppm, to provide protect workers' health. When OSHA issued the new exposure limit of 1 ppm, industry spokespeople issued dire predictions of job loss and plant closures. However, in less than two years virtually all U.S. manufacturing plants were able to meet the new standard while still maintaining rapid growth of sales volume. This was accomplished largely through better containment of unpolymerized VC monomer and improved exposure monitoring.

This clip is from the 1978 movie, More Than a Paycheck, and the voice is the late Dr. Irving Selikoff.

Just wait they'll be running ads for the railroad company that is responsible for this as they take this video down. Just like the Pfizer ads that started running just after youtube took down the PV video exposing Pfizer's corrupt and illegal behavior a couple weeks ago.

it surely is "safe to breathe" after they burned it and spread it across miles that way....... Just like ground zero was safe to breathe. History repeating itself over and over again

[@johnnydoe00]

I can only hope such a chemical never reaches a river connected to several states, imagine what a disaster that would be...
