Ummm…
Don’t smoke out of PVC. Especially don’t smoke fat soluble compounds of PVC.
PVC getting in to your body is really, really bad for you.
Ehhh we got microplastics in us already, might as well give them some friends to hang out with.
You need to talk to that plumber about how dangerous smoking pot out of this is, dude is going to get himself cancer.
I feel like I’m the only person here concerned about the fact that that vent 90 almost certainly doesn’t go to a vent. Looks like it was probably installed by someone who would try to use a bong made out of PVC.
He couldn’t lay the pipe so he stood it up
That’s for the good shit.
Mmmmmm microplastics 🥰
If you try smoking out of PVC pipe, microplastics will be the least of your concerns. PVC is a thermo hardening plastic, which means it doesn’t simply melt but instead starts to decompose when heated. As it decomposes it releases fun stuff like toxins, carcinogenics and chlorine gas.
In the past PVC was everywhere, these days it’s mostly gone. There has been a big push to reduce the use of PVC as much as possible. For sewage it’s still used a lot because the risks are low, but a lot of other places it’s gone.
But doesn’t the sewage end up somewhere eventually where we would rather not have it be full of extra toxins
Thankfully sewage is not very hot once it is down in the pipes so they don’t leech out the gross stuff.
Actually, it’s an extremely aerobic environment full of organic compounds and bacteria, that is remarkably active and generates a lot of heat.
So much heat that where I live it is harvested to heat buildings.
Um hate to break it to you, but we use PVC conduit a lot in the electrical industry. It’s the only conduit rated for underground use (except galvanized rigid, but that shit’s stupid expensive, and it’ll still rust out eventually).
It’s also the go-to for irrigation piping.
Microplastics are the least of his problems when he smokes that good pvc fumage
You’re already smoking, microplastics are the least of your worries.
