EPA decided to regulate vinyl chloride because it has been implicated as the causal agent of angiosarcoma and other serious disorders, both carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic." The PVC Production Process Explained http://www.pvc.org/en/p/the-pvc-production-process-explained "PVC production usually refers to the manufacture of PVC resin, which is the basis for the plethora of PVC products around us.
