Healthy schools are critical to children's health. PVC is an emerging toxic plastic of concern. Also known as vinyl, PVC is widespread in back-to-school supplies, office supplies and building materials.
This plastic is often filled with phthalates - chemicals harmful to children's health that have been banned in toys, but widespread in schools.
The good news is safer and affordable alternatives are available for schools and parents to use and purchase.
