Evidence of vinyl chloride's toxicity has been around for years. Production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was begun in 1938 by B.F. Goodrich Co. That year experiments showed that the vinyl chloride gas used at the plant was dangerous to animals. A 1949 Russian study showed that vinyl chloride (VC) caused nonmalignant liver damage in 15 of 48 workers exposed to the chemical; surveys in other European countries over the next decade and a half confirmed the connection. In 1966 and 1967 British scientists examining PVC workers reported a high incidence of acro-osteolysis, a condition partially characterized...
Suggested sites include the Charlestown Navy Yard, the old B.F. Goodrich Plant in Watertown, and the knoll behind the Federal Records Center in Waltham. Construction is now planned for the site of the old MBTA yards across from Eliot House...

...Doctors have long suspected that industrial exposure to vinyl chloride, a plastic substance, is dangerous. Their suspicions were further aroused recently when abnormalities were discovered in the livers of a number of workers in a B.F. Goodrich Co. chemical plant in Louisville, Ky., and it was found that four of the men had a malignancy called angiosarcoma of the liver. Last week the cancer was discovered in two more of the employees and confirmed as a contributing cause of death in an employee of a West Virginia plant. Although the action comes too late to save the workers who have...

Businessmen apparently also have decided that the freeze was for real. U.S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Uniroyal, B.F. Goodrich and Kennecott Copper canceled or postponed increases that had been put into effect or scheduled...
