By: EMSL One compound released during the manufacture of PVC is vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which is a known carcinogen. In addition to cancer, exposure to VCM can result in an increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects, damage to sperm-producing organs, a decrease in bone strength, and changes in the immune system, as well as damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, blood, and nervous system. Breathing VCM in the air is the primary means of exposure to the compound, although it can be absorbed into the body by ingestion and through the skin as well. “EMSL Analytical tests for the compounds that these standards regulate, VCM and particulates containing chlorine, in our cutting-edge laboratory,” For more information on EMSL’s testing services, please contact EMSL at (800) 220-3675, visit www.EMSL.com, or email info@EMSL.com.
