Ecotoxicity assessment of short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins used in polyvinyl-chloride products for construction industry
Original language description
Short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) have been commonly used as plasticizers and flame retardants in polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) products for the construction industry. During the last few years the production of SCCPs has been banned or reduced in Europe, Japan, USA, and Canada due to their toxic and bioaccumulative effects but they have been still produced and used under less controlled conditions worldwide. Middle chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) were suggested as a suitable alternative to SCCPs for PVC production instead. In this paper, the ecotoxicity of SCCPs and MCCPs is studied using the methods of potentially affected fraction of species (PAF) and the most sensitive species (MSS). Characterization factors (CFs) are estimated for SCCPs by the PAF method (for MCCPs suitable ecotoxicological indexes are not available) and for MCCPs by the MSS method (for SCCPs PEC values are negligible). Results of the present study indicate that from an ecotoxicological point of view, MCCPs may present similar ecological risks as SCCPs. Therefore, it is recommended both SCCPs and MCCPs not to be used worldwide in PVC products for the construction industry. The most suitable alternative for SCCPs seems to be inorganic compounds but their environmental impacts have not been sufficiently excluded yet
