The section on technological details contains a variety of errors that are commonly made by the scientific conmunlty when they discuss the VC/PVC Industry. They do not appreciate the fact that all polymers of vinyl chloride are not like suspension polymerized vinyl chloride resins. The section on acroosteolysls, Raynaud's phenomena, psuedosclerodenna Is very good and Is probably the most complete discussion of the disease that can be found. The sections on pathogenetic considerations and angiosarcoma of the liver are very thorough. The discussion of vinyl chloride metabolism Is probably the most complete and clear to be found anywhere.
