The PVC avoidance seems to be just another cause. There is a host of materials that condemn the use of PVC without one shred of evidence. That is not to say there isn’t evidence, but the material readily available contains conclusion statements without one reference to a study or other data in support.

Even assuming that the statements are based on research – there is little, if any, evidence that PVC used in plumbing is a health issue.

And how much of the $72 mil is the public on the hook for?
