… this u.s. news & world report article, sent to me by alice kaczmarek of rockford, brings up “more problems.” specifically it addresses phthalates (a softening agent commonly found in pvc). you can find tips to limit exposure here.

and you can find a report critical of media coverage on phthalates (find out if your shower curtain will kill you… hint: it probably won’t). a challenge to understanding our environmental concerns is the science. both journalists and laypeople probably don’t know enough.
