Experimental PVC Material Challenge in Subjects with Occupational PVC Exposure
BACKGROUND Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials have been linked to asthma in several epidemiologic studies, but the possible causal factors remain unknown. PARTICIPANTS We challenged 10 subjects experimentally to degraded PVC products under controlled conditions. All of the subjects had previously experienced respiratory symptoms suspected to be caused by this kind of exposure in their work pl...
متن کاملGreater fibroblast proliferation on an ultrasonicated ZnO/PVC nanocomposite material
There has been a significant and growing concern over nosocomial medical device infections. Previous studies have demonstrated that embedding nanoparticles alone (specifically, zinc oxide [ZnO]) in conventional polymers (eg, polyvinyl chloride [PVC]) can decrease bacteria growth and may have the potential to prevent or disrupt bacterial processes that lead to infection. However, little to no st...
متن کاملChemical Modification of Pvc
The degradation of PVC at a processing temperature is mostly caused by its abnormal and unsta— ble molecular structures. It has been pointed out that its allyl chloride structures play a significant role as the abnormal and unstable structures. Inasmuch as the allyl chloride struc— tures are markedly more chemically active than the normal structure, the selective chemical treatments are applica...
متن کاملHazardous Chemicals in PVC Flooring
This study investigated the composition of PVC flooring with respect to certain chemical additives, namely phthalate plasticisers and organotins. The study included analysis of five PVC flooring samples that were available for retail in the UK. Samples were found to contain high levels of several organotin compounds, in particular DBT (37.7 to 569 ppm) and TBT (128 to 17,940 ppb). Two phthalate...
متن کاملPET and PVC separation with hyperspectral imaging
The proper design of a product life cycle may contribute both to the optimization of primary raw material usage and to the reduction of waste environmental impacts. Recycling may enter the life cycle of products in the contexts of production of secondary raw materials and reduction of waste extensive disposal in landfills. Tradition plants for plastic separation in homogeneous products employ m...
