PVC products can leak harmful additives during use and disposal,when they are burned or buried. Burning creates and releases more dioxins and compounds containing chlorine, which further contaminates the environment. Laboratory studies in animals show that some of these chemicals are linked to cancer and kidney damage and may interfere with the reproductive system and its development. Recent testing by several governments has also shown that children can ingest hazardous chemicals from PVC toys during use. Governments and industry are taking action to eliminate PVC. Danish and Swedish governments are restricting PVC use, hundreds of communities worldwide are eliminating PVC in buildings and many companies such as Nike, IKEA and The Body Shop have committed to eliminating PVC from their products. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/polyvinyl-chloride/ fried-rice:No one is crippling nothing Chinese conveniently look away from human rights violation, genocide, environmental safeguards etc as long as there's $$$$$ involved 1 Like |

kulboy: SMH @ this comment .... the man is first of all a lecturer and has risen to the highest pinacle of being a professor. A dean is just a tenure appointment which is not supposed to be for life. FYI, the man is eminently qualified to be appointed a vice-chancellor in any Nigerian university. 4 Likes |

The alternatives are expensive. e.g a friend of mine didn't want to use PVC pipers in his house due to leakage(I always wonder why when one puts up PVC pipes and pressure pumps water through them they always tend to leaky".)and health reasons. So he decide to go for multilayer pipes, Expensive but hey they got the job done. |

So what happens to our underground water freely drank by all via borehole water. The land fills that are filled with PVC's. What next? I think we should invest in research to make PVC safe. |
