The Truth About PVC

Monday, November 21, 2011

PVC- Polyvinyl Chloride.

PVC: From start to finish there is no safe way to manufacture, use or dispose of PVC.

No other plastic contains or releases as many dangerous and toxic chemicals as PVC. PVC contains many different chemicals such as Dioxins, phthalates, vinyl chloride, lead, cadmium and organotins, these toxins can be released from PVC products into the air we breath.

Unfortunately current studies have shown that the Dioxins have been seeping into our water when put into a landfill.

90% of PVC products contain phthalates.

PVC that contain phthalates and Dioxin is widely known to create birth defects and has been linked to different forms of Cancer including breast cancer and many other illnesses.

PVC is considered to be the most toxic plastic for our health and environment.

Most yoga studios rent and use PVC mats.
