The objective of this paper is to present, based on the example of vinyl Chloride , the french procedure to set acute toxicity thresholds in the context of controlling urban development or land use planning. Vinylchloride is a good example because it has never been until now examined for its acute toxicity and it is a carcinogenic chemical for humans chronically exposed at low concentration.
