Is PVC dangerous for health?

Manufacturers of PVC windows and doors every day receive question of whether the PVC itself is dangerous to human health. This is a reasonable question, because the most important thing is health, and everyone needs to take care of it. So in this article we will learn everything about PVC in detail. First we have to find out where and when PVC appeared.
PVC, that is, polyvinyl chloride can be considered one of the oldest artificial materials, it was obtained in 1835, but at that time it was not appreciated. And only after 100 years it began to be used to make a variety of products. And for 80 years it has not ceased to delight us with its remarkable properties.
But to know for sure whether it is dangerous to health, we should know its detailed composition, despite the fact that it is already studied along and across. So, pure PVC includes only two components-ethylene (43%), salt (57%). You may think that ethylene is dangerous because it is a product of petrochemicals, but to dispel this myth will help you the following fact: ethylene is used in products such as ethyl alcohol and acetic acid. In addition, PVC sometimes contains various additives, modifiers, etc. But all of them are also safe and they just improve the quality of the material itself.
 PVC has been studied for many years by the most outstanding scientists and they confirm the fact that PVC is an environmentally friendly product and 100% safe for health. The ideal proof of this is that all medical utensils are now made of PVC, including containers for storing donor blood.
