This project aimed to identify which polyvinyl chloride (PVC) additives are likely to be relevant to the UK market and to prioritise them based on readily available information.

Additives are substances that PVC is blended with to confer various mechanical and chemical properties. Gaining information on them will help the Environment Agency to understand the risks that these additives pose to the environment and human health, and to prioritise those that may need further evaluation.
