Chloroethene (polymer)

Chloroethene polymer (Polyvinyl chloride) is an orally active vinyl chloride polymer. Chloroethene polymer is cytotoxic, reproductively toxic, and an endocrine disruptor. Chloroethene polymer can be used in the research of packaging inner surfaces, food wrapping paper, agricultural crop coverings, and plastic bottles[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
