Dear Baber

As far as PVA is concerned it is a biocompatible and water soluble polymer.

Avijit Guha

Polyvinyl alcohol has good biocompatible material. There are number of literature available.

Sudip Mondal

Dear Baber,

Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.

But no need to worry in small quantity.
