Vinyl chloride is a common type of plastic that is used in piping, electrical wire and cable, home furnishings, toys, packaging, upholstery and auto parts. Vinyl chloride has been linked to illnesses such as liver and brain cancer, Reynaud's Syndrome, neurological disorders, leukemia and lymphoma. Louisiana workers are among those who run the highest risk of developing an illness as the result of vinyl chloride exposure because half of the plants which produce Ethylene Dichloride and Vinyl Chloride Monomer are located in Louisiana.
