PVC not allowed for underground building drain
(OP)
Why in some building/plumbing codes, PVC is not allowed for underground building drains? I am not challenging the code, but just trying to understand the rationale..

The other subject could be related to growing stories about PVC toxicity, but that is more relevant for floor installation I would say.
