| Abstract |
A sampling and analysis program was conducted to determine whether and to what extent vinyl chloride was present in ambient air due to the presence of polyvinyl chloride products. Sampling environments were chosen to represent real life, but nonwork situations where a significant exposure to polyvinyl chloride products might occur. A sampling and analysis protocol was developed with a recovery efficiency of greater than 90% and a detection limit of 10 ppb (v/v). The two general categories of environments sampled were vehicles and commercial products. The interior ambient air was sampled from new and used domestic automobiles, foreign automobiles and domestic mobile homes. No evidence of vinyl chloride was found. The following commercial vinyl products, when sampled in their normal environment, did not produce a measurable quantity of vinyl chloride in the ambient air: vinyl wall covering; vinyl swimming pool liners; and vinyl nursery products. A room being painted with a heavily pigmented red paint was found to contain a very low level of vinyl chloride. |
