There are a number of plastic materials used in the construction industry that are known either to emit volatiles to indoor air or to leach organotins, both of which can affect comfort, health and productivity. Emissions or leaching can depend on the composition of the plastic material involved along with the various parameters associated with it. Within these plastics, there are chlorinated and chlorosulfonated polyethylene, chlorinated polyvinylchloride, and polychloroprene rubber, all which are the main subjects ...
