Overview

Vinyl chloride (VC) is an organochlorine mainly used to manufacture its polymer polyvinyl chloride, which is extensively used in the manufacturing of consumer products. It is a dominant carcinogenic residual in many aged chlorinated solvent plumes, and it remains a huge challenge to clean it up.

Dosage Studied

Vinyl chloride (VC, 50-25 mg/kg), aldrin (AD, 0.5 mg/ kg) were dosed with mice. Four different linear dose-response models were used to characterise the extent of cancer risk depending on the level of vinyl chloride concentrations. Pulmonary excretion of unchanged vinyl chloride after oral dosing is complete within 3-4 h, but pulmonary elimination of CO2 and renal excretion occupies 3 days.
