PVC Pipe Soap Molds

ELYSIAN DREAM DOES NOT USE PVC PIPING FOR SOAP MOLDS!

Workers employed in facilities that make or use vinyl chloride (VC) and those who live or work near these plants are most likely to be exposed. Exposure to VC occurs through inhalation of workplace or ambient air or consumption of contaminated water. Those exposed to high concentrations over a short time or lower levels over an extended period are at greatest risk of adverse health effects.

Workers involved in the mixing of lead salt stabilizers during PVC formulation are at risk for exposure to lead. Typically, these stabilizers are in the powder form and become airborne during pouring and mixing. Inhalation of lead in workplace air is the commonest route of occupational exposure. Lead adversely affects many of the bodys systems the most sensitive being the nervous and reproductive systems. Studies of worker exposure to even low lead levels in workplace air have found evidence of personality and behavioral changes. Children are particularly vulnerable to lead with impaired intelligence the most common manifestation of lead absorption. Much of the evidence regarding the reproductive effects of lead comes from studies completed in the past half century on women in the lead trades who reported decreased fertility and increased frequency of miscarriage. Studies of male lead workers with moderate to heavy lead exposure show a decline in sperm counts and greater than expected sperm abnormalities.

Recently, there has been growing recognition of the potential for non-occupational exposure to stabilizers and plasticizers. Neither is chemically bound to the PVC polymer and therefore can migrate, under certain conditions, from the final product into air, water or soil. Several studies have demonstrated the leaching or release of stabilizers and plasticizers during both normal use and under specific conditions. Recently published literature shows the accumulation and leaching of lead from new PVC piping exposed to heat and light.
