and Related Substances, Nitrofurans and Industrial Chemicals 7: 291-318(1974) (2) Fishbein L; Sci Total Environ 11: 111-61 (1979)]**PEERREVIEWED**OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONCENTRATIONS:Vinyl chloride monomer has been found in polyvinyl chloride resins butthese levels can be reduced by new processing techniques in food graderesins(1). For example, PVC delivered to a fabricator contained 250 ppmvinyl chloride monomer which was reduced to 0.5-20 ppm afterfabrication(1). Residual vinyl chloride monomer found in food packingmaterial ranged from 0.043-71 ppb for film and up to 7.9 ppm for plasticbottles(1). It has been found in domestic and foreign cigarettes andlittle cigars in concentrations of 5.6-27 mg/cigarette(1).

[40 CFR 261.24(7/1/2000)]**PEER REVIEWED**U043; As stipulated in 40 CFR 261.33, when vinyl chloride, as a commercialchemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate or anoff-specification commercial chemical product or a manufacturing chemicalintermediate, becomes a waste, it must be managed according to Federaland/or State hazardous waste regulations. Also defined as a hazardouswaste is any residue, contaminated soil, water, or other debris resultingfrom the cleanup of a spill, into water or on dry land, of this waste.Generators of small quantities of this waste may qualify for partialexclusion from hazardous waste regulations (40 CFR 261.5).
