Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Low Molecular Weight is a polymer consisting of vinyl and chlorine. It is widely used in the manufacture of plastics, especially for pipes, cables, and wall coverings. PVC has been found to have genotoxic effects, which may be due to its ability to cause DNA strand breaks. Polyvinyl chloride has also been shown to be toxic to the liver and can cause liver lesions in rats. The toxicity of polyvinyl chloride is increased when it reacts with other chemicals such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or diphenyl ether.
