Most of the information I have read on PVC toxicity relates to those in the industry. I don't see much credible information about its hazards in every day use. PVC is everywhere and if there was a real danger, I think you would see massive reactions. I am usually more wary of the chemicals used to bond pieces together such as in piping.
I did a little bit of research in this a while back and just about everything I found that withstood the smell test, related to mostly production of these materials. Geez, many things are dangerous during production but are virtually inert in the final product.
On a personal anecdotal level, I know more people who have gotten sick from damp mildewy materials that contained mold, than anyone getting ill from the materials themselves. That's just me though.
By the way, welcome to the forum! I used to live near New Paltz not that long ago. I lived in Gardiner and Modena.
