VC and PVC emissions spark regulatory clash across agencies
The CPSC bans VC and PVC products from the market and orders buybacks after a widespread exposure risk. EPA drafts air standards for two major plants responsible for most emissions, with 200 million pounds of VC and 50 million pounds of PVC released annually. OSHA tightens exposure limits to one p.p.m. over eight hours, five p.p.m. for 15 minutes, provoking lawsuits from the plastics industry while Dow Chemical reports reductions under 5 p.p.m. Dr. Selikoff calls the limits logical and warns toxic exposures are just beginning to show effects.
