Vinyl acetate monomer in polyvinyl acetate

From: Mary T. Baker <*mtb<-a*> Date: Tuesday, November 18, 1997 · mtb<-a

Has anyone done (or know of) studies that found the following:

    Presence of trace amounts of vinyl acetate monomer in commercial
    aqueous PVAC preparations (such as glues or paints).

or

    Presence of vinyl acetate monomer in an aged PVAC film
    (presumably as a result of degradation)

Thanks in advance for any help,
