More Health Concerns from Vinyl Chloride Inhalation
Vinyl chloride (C2H3Cl) is a colorless gas with a mild, sweet odor. Vinyl chloride is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and vinyl products. Acute (short-term) exposure to high levels of vinyl chloride in air has resulted in central nervous system effects (CNS), such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches in humans. Chronic (long-term) exposure to vinyl chloride through inhalation and oral exposure in humans has resulted in liver damage. The odor threshold for vinyl chloride is 3,000 ppm, which is appoximately 3000 times more than the maximum safe limits in an 8 hour day of 1 ppm. The 1/2 life of vinyl chloride gas is a few hours, therefore it continues to be harmful & deadly for a long time after it's initial release.
Angiosarcoma cancer of the liver is a major concern from exposure to vinyl chloride via inhalation, as vinyl chloride exposure has been shown to increase the risk of a rare form of liver cancer in humans. Vinyl chloride also has severe health effects to the brain and is known to cause brain tumors and/or angiosarcoma of the brain.
