Hereof, why is PVC bad for you?
PVC, because of its high chlorine content, creates toxic pollution in the form of dioxins, which accumulate in animals' fat up through the food chain. Exposure to PVC often includes exposure to phthalates, which may have serious health effects.
One may also ask, why is PVC hard? Hard or rigid PVC is dense and more resistant to gas and air pressure than the flexible or soft PVC. Due to higher level of density, a product made up of hard PVC lasts longer than the one composed of soft PVC.
Herein, what are the advantages and disadvantages of PVC pipes?
Plastic pipes are light in weight, tough, resistant to chemical attack and available in large lengths. They reduce the cost of handling, transportation and installation. Less number of joints facilitates the speed and reduces chances of leakage. They are rust resistant.
Is PVC cancerous?
PVC contains harmful carcinogens, most notably VCM. Other chemicals such as dioxin and phthalates, both carcinogenic, may also be released into an indoor environment, endangering the people who work and live in buildings that use PVC. Phthalates are carcinogenic chemicals often used in plastics to make them flexible.
