Male workers (n=20) employed for 2–14 years at a vinyl chloride polymerization plant and exposed to concentrations of vinyl chloride of 1 ppm (with occasional peaks of 300 ppm) underwent cytogenetic testing (Fucic et al. 1995). The test results were compared to those from 20 unexposed male controls.
12 cze 2023 · Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is an IARC group 1 carcinogen known to cause hepatic angiosarcoma (HAS) in highly exposed industrial workers. VCM is a component in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins. VCM is a halogenated hydrocarbon with acute toxic effects, as well as chronic carcinogenic effects.
The development of cancer in humans as a result of vinyl chloride exposure has been demonstrated in a number of studies of workers in the vinyl chloride production industry. The strongest evidence comes from the greater-than-expected incidences of liver angiosarcoma (details in Section 2.19 ), which is considered to be very rare in humans (25 ...
25 kwi 2024 · Vinyl chloride is mainly metabolised in the liver into reactive metabolites. Vinyl chloride is mainly excreted in the urine as thiodiglycolic acid. Acute inhalation of vinyl chloride...
Vinyl chloride is known also as chloroethene, chloroethylene, ethylene monochloride, or monochloroethylene. At room temperature, it is a colorless gas, it burns easily, and it is not stable at high temperatures. Vinyl chloride exists in liquid form if kept under high pressure or at low temperatures.
Polyvinyl chloride (alternatively: poly(vinyl chloride); colloquial: vinyl or polyvinyl; abbreviated: PVC) is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic polymer of plastic (after polyethylene and polypropylene).
