"Chlorine is the origin of many of the world's most problematic chemicals and products, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), used in building and construction. There is extensive interest in the building industry in the manufacture and use of chlorine. A necessary first step in reducing the environmental health impacts of chlorine in the supply chain of PVC and other chlorine-based products is to create a public global inventory of chlorine, vinyl chloride monomer, and PVC producers."
