Many building owners and producers have
asked me why I do not offer PVC membrane for my apartment roof clients. I
believe PVC is too good of a threat to take.
PVC, or Polyvinyl Chloride, is produced
from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), a poisonous,
carcinogenic gas. It's a durable, economical material with many uses.
Seventy-five percent of PVC consumption in North America is credited to plastic
pipes. PVC suspending agent can also be used as a membrane to pay flat roofs,
also appears to the average individual to look precisely like TPO membrane.
What are the dangers related to PVC?
Research demonstrates that dioxin that is the most potent carcinogen known to science, together with plastic sheeting and specific acids are generated and published through the production of PVC (
water soluble support material). These compounds can cause severe health issues for example:
Cancer
neurological harm
immune system harm
respiratory difficulties
kidney and liver failure
congenital disabilities
asthma
All these are issues which the general
public and roofing contractors have a right to learn about water-soluble
support material.
My Narrative
About 12 decades back, PVC was the
critical stuff we used in our apartment roofing branch here at Brady Roofing.
After we started installing PVC, I began to experience health issues. I've been
healthy my whole life, so when these problems came on so suddenly, it made me
wonder about the protection of PVC membrane. This directed me to do some
significant study on the substance. I discovered that producers know that PVC
membrane is quite poisonous, but they were concealing these details from me
throughout our discussions.
My private health issues included
severe respiratory difficulties and neurological harm. The neurological
complications are now getting worse, even though I install PVC. I don't wish to
enter my health issues also profoundly, but merely to illustrate my left the
lower body is undergoing slow atrophy of the muscles because of neurological
damage. My left wing is now 1.25 inches bigger in circumference than my best.
While I don't have any evidence, I firmly believe it's brought on by breathing
the toxins within PVC membrane. I don't have any genetic predisposition for
these neurological troubles.
I approached our PVC maker concerning
the matter. They told me that there wasn't any study to support my claims. The
producers can claim they're not relevant as these studies are done on the
creation of PVC instead of the installment dangers. However, when you put in
PVC, you use warm air around 1300 degrees F to melt down the membrane and
secure it. Since the layer melts, it may feel as if you're breathing ammonia.
The atmosphere can burn off your sinuses, demonstrating the existence of
harmful substances being discharged, as they are throughout creation.
