What’s in Our Air? Michael McKinney 5th

What Causes this Pollutant? Three sources of PVC: Manufacturing Burning Landfilling

Indoor or Outdoor Pollutant? Indoor- Flexible PVC contaminates air quality PVC facilitates hazardous mold growth Outdoor- PVC Lifecycle Hazardous by-products are released

Primary or Secondary Pollutant? PVC emits directly from manufacturing

Human Health Effects Hydrogen Chloride causes respiratory damage By-products released can cause cancer

Environmental Effect PVC contributes largely to burden pollutants Burden pollutants persist longer Examples include dioxins and phthalates

Prevention/Reduction PVC is difficult to recycle Most PVC is “downcycled” Reduce use of PVC plastics
