This research paper explores the extensive history of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), tracing its evolution from the 19th century to modern times. Key advancements like vinyl chloride polymerization and PVC plasticization are examined as pivotal milestones that transformed PVC from a rigid material to a flexible one. Despite PVC’s popularity in the mid-20th century due to its affordability and durability, concerns about its environmental and health impacts emerged in the 1970s and 1980s. Extensive research revealed PVC’s association with the release of hazardous compounds such as dioxins and carcinogens. This study emphasizes the importance of mitigating PVC’s adverse effects on the environment and human health, particularly focusing on issues like microplastic pollution. Alternative materials such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), and their blends are identified as viable substitutes, offering comparable functionality with reduced risks. Overall, embracing these alternatives is crucial for promoting public health and ecological sustainability. This study highlights the critical role of regulatory measures and comprehensive risk evaluations in steering toward a healthier future for generations to come.
