Bystander chemical exposures and injuries associated with nearby plastic sewer pipe manufacture: public health practice and lessons
J Environ Health. 2022 Nov;85(4):22-31.ABSTRACTCured-in-place pipes (CIPPs) are plastic liners manufactured inside existing damaged sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water pipes that extend the service life of host pipes. This process often is conducted in neighborhoods and near roadways. Before, during, and after plastic manufacture, waste materials that include volatile materials are released into the air. Emissions from this manufacturing process can affect outdoor air quality and indoor air quality for buildings connected to the sewer system. We identified key issues and solicited stakeholder feedback to estimate and ma...
