Summary: The Vinyl Institute, representing the vinyl industry, opposes the inclusion of microplastics on the Draft Contaminant Candidate List 6. They argue that the proposal is premature due to significant data gaps regarding analytical methodologies, health effects, and the lack of a standardized definition for the broad "microplastics" category.
