Does the exposure of Vinyl Ester Resin to environment safe? no harmful effect? i am planning of using this as a resin for my fiber reinforced plastic. thanks.

What's your question? Is it safe for the vinyl ester or the environment? What's the environment? Is it 15% sulfuric acid? Are you planning on eating it?
By the way, this is a civil engineering forum, not the poorly formatted question forum.

Well, the forum is actually the civil/environmental forum, but the question needs clarification.
Will you be discharging the resin via air or water waste? Will solid waste be generated?
What does the MSDS say about exposure levels for the workers who will be handling the material?
What kinds of quantities are you anticipating using? Is this a one time deal or an ongoing process?

suppose you should develop a SWP for its use and consult with your local regulatory agencies to make sure you comply
