Pvc comes in two basic forms.
It can be formed in the environment when soil organisms break down chlorinated solvents.
Vinyl chloride that is released by industries or formed by the breakdown of other chlorinated chemicals can enter the air and drinking water supplies.
Cox cpg most vapor intrusion constituents are volatile organic compounds vocs which are carbon based.
Under ambient conditions vinyl chloride is a colourless flammable gas with a slightly sweet odour.
The largest use for vinyl chloride monomer is in the production of polyvinyl chloride pvc homopolymer and copolymer resins.
These pvc resins are converted to products for a number of end use markets.
