AVOID VINYL SHOWER CURTAINS
THESE CURTAINS CONTAIN PHTHALATES & VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS OR VOCs.
CONCERN- these curtains are made from a type of plastic called polyvinyl chloride or PVC. It contains high levels of phthalates- a group of chemicals linked to reproductive problems & birth defects in animal studies, as well as 108 VOCs. Both are more active during a hot shower.
Remedy- look for PVC free vinyl or use nylon, polyester or other fabric curtains.
