HW6 #9
In a town (before 1950) where high amounts of PVC products were manufactured, many people in the town and surroundings, experience sickness due to the toxin agent vinyl chloride, a byproduct of polyvinyl chloride (commonly known as PVC) reaction. Hi, can you elaborate on the following: do you think modern day EPA and Federal regulations (if they were similarly in place in the early 1950’s) would have been effective in countering vinyl chloride toxicity problem before it started to affect individuals, or do you think that even with regulation in place this threat might have occurred the same way? Why? Justify your answer.
