Chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs)

More resilient to biodegradation, unlike simple
hydrocarbons
Man-made CHCs are beginning to accumulate in the
environment.

Many CHCs are created during the production of PVC this is
a growing concern.


VCM needs to be produced in a way that will minimize or
totally eliminate the release of CHCs into the environment.
