Health risks of dioxins and furans exposure
Plastics made from polyvinyl chloride once processed thru uncontrolled open burning can generate polychlorinated diebenzo - p - dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans which are persistent organic pollutants. It can enter the body via inhalation ingestion and skin absorption.
Exposure can lead to darkening of the skin altered liver function and long term exposure can lead to damage of the immune nervous and endocrine systems and impaired reproductive function
