| Abstract | that generate as much unnecessary controversy as polyvinyl chloride, commonly known as PVC. However, the “controversy” over PVC comes in the form of misconceptions and myths that have proliferated over its decades of use. Like most myths, the ones about PVC are often sourceless or based on a lack of understanding; yet, they gain a false credibility through repetition. No matter what the myths are, the vast majority of construction professionals – manufacturers, product distributors, specifiers, and contractors – can attest to the safe, consistent performance of PVC in a variety of construction products, including roofing membranes, pipes, siding, and window frames to name a few. For decades, PVC has also been used in life-saving and life-giving applications in a vast array of industries, from medical and pharmaceutical uses to food packaging and transportation. The PVC industry has taken every opportunity to debunk the many myths about this material. These efforts are often filled with citations of numerous and wide-range studies by respected third parties and take great pains to point out that the perceived dangers of PVC are universally overblown. It is also widely recognized that the alternatives to PVC often require high-negative-impact, immensely extractive industrial practices that are detrimental to the environment. In an effort to address issues of concern with PVC, there are, listed below, seven common myths, each of which is countered by the science that underlies PVC. |
