I. Summary of Results
In 1970 an estimated 4.5 million persons were living within
five miles of plants currently producing vinyl chloride or
vinyl chloride resins. Of these, 4.3 million were living
in census-tracted areas, that is, in or in the environs of
cities which generally had a population of 50,000 or more.
The remainer resided in or near smaller places.
Data available from the 1970 Census of Population for the
tracted areas permitted estimates to be prepared of those
persons living within four zones around the plants. The outer
limit - 5 miles - was chosen because previous studies of
emission levels were limited to this or lesser distances. The
zones shown permit a choice in the distance from the source.
The estimated number of persons living at the various distances
from the plants are as follows:
0 to h mile 37,000
% to 1 mile 197,000
1 to 3 miles 1 ,506,000
3 to 5 miles 2,749,000
Total 4,489,000
No data are presented on the number of workers employed by the
plants. Some of the workers, however, would be expected to live
in proximity to the plant in which they are employed.
Since April 1970, when the 1970 Census of Population was taken,
the population of the United States has increased by about 5
percent. In addition, the U.S. Bureau of the Census has reported
that the enumeration missed some 4 million persons. For the
Nation, the current population living within the 5-mile radius
of the plants is undoubtedly larger than in 1970. Because of
varying rates of growth in localities and in portions of the
localities, it would be inadvisable to attempt to apply the
national adjusted population rates to the figures for any
specific plant or combination of plants.

II.A. Source of Plants Surveyed
The Environmental Protection Agency through its Research
Triangle Park facility (EPA/RTP) prepared a list of plants
for possible inclusion in the survey.. The list gave separate
listings for producers of ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride,
PVC resins, copolymers and PVC/propylene. Consequently, a
single plant could be listed in two or more of these classifica-
tions. Every effort was made to verify the listing, to include
plants in the industry not listed, and to exclude those which
should not be in the survey and those which were no longer
producing vinyl.chloride or related products.
The initial step in this procedure was to contact trade
associations which presumably were in a position to provide
this information. Neither the Manufacturing Chemists Associa-
tion nor the Society of Plastic Industries was able to supply
such a list. It was learned from these sources, however, that
a private research organization (Tabershaw/Cooper Associates,
Berkeley, California), had recently made a survey of vinyl
chloride producers. A list of the plants included in this
survey was obtained from Tabershaw/Cooper. Fewer plants were
identified than in the EPA/RTP list, but it did include the
major producers and an additional plant which was added after
verification that it fell within the scope of the survey.
Regional offices of the EPA issue permits for waste disposal
plants in the industry which do not discharge their wastes into
a municipal sewage system. Each* regional office with plants
under consideration for inclusion in the survey was contacted
by telephone and asked for the specific addresses (street and
number or as complete a description as possible of the physical
location) of the plants for which they had information, if the
plants were operating, and if their products fell into the
scope of the survey. They were also asked if they knew of
any additional plants which should be included.
In addition, telephone conversations were held with respondents
in each tracted area. The names of these respondents were
obtained from the Bureau of the Census. They were usually the
directors of regional, county, or city planning boards who
participate in the census tract program of the Bureau. Infor-
mation requested was similar to that requested of the EPA
regional offices.
II.A-1
-------
When the inclusion of a plant was doubtful, the management of
the plant was contacted by telephone for a determination.
Several instances in which the products were known but it was
questionable as to whether the plant should be included were
referred to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health for a recommendation.
Information obtained from local sources resulted in the addition
of four plants: Borden, Inc., Geismar, Louisiana; Foster Grant
Co., Leominster, Massachusetts; and GAP Corporation and Monsanto
Co., Texas City, Texas.

II.B. Sources of Population Data
National population data for small geographic units are avail-
able only from the 1970 Census of Population. Although current
population estimates have been prepared for some of the tracted
areas, the estimates do not provide the detail available from
the 1970 census reports. Consequently, the decision was made
to use the 1970 census data for all areas, regardless of the
existence of later estimates for some areas.
For those plants located in tracted areas, the population
estimates are based on census tracts. Census tracts are defined
by the Bureau of the Census as "small areas into which large
cities and adjacent areas have been divided for statistical
purposes." Each tract consists of one or more enumeration
districts (E.D.'s) to enable the Bureau of the Census to
consolidate data to obtain totals for cities, county units,
counties, and other areas. In some, but not all, census-
tracted areas, limited information is available for sections
as small as one city block.
Published census tract data provide a wealth of data on the
demographic, social, and economic characteristics of residents.
Such characteristics as race (white, Negro, all other races),
age by sex for selected age groups, number of households and
household relalationships (such as head, wife, other related
individual, non-relative of head), are published in the census
tract reports. These data are from a 100-percent count of the
population.
Data based upon samples are also available for social charac-
teristics such as birthplace of parents, school enrollment,
years of school completed, residence in 1965; and labor
characteristics. Sample data are also available for males and
females on the employment status of the population 16 years old
and over, and industry and occupation of employed workers.
Information on income, also based upon sample data, provide,
for example, income for families and unrelated individuals,
and ratio of family income to poverty level.
Data are also published on such housing characteristics as
type of occupancy, equipment (plumbing and kitchen facilities),
value of owner-occupied units, and contract rent. These data
are also available by enumeration districts in unpublished
form and may be obtained from the Bureau of the Census.
II.B-1
-------
Data similar to those published for census tracts are also
available for county subdivisions. These are the primary
units of a county such as a city, village, or town, or census
county divisions. These.census county divisions are areas
defined by.the Bureau of the Census for the presentation of
data for areas smaller than counties in those counties where
the minor civil divisions are not suitable for statistical
purposes.
II.B-2

II.C Estimate Methodology
The respondents in each tracted area in which plants in the
survey were located were also asked for the number of the
census tract in which each plant was located. They were
requested to draw concentric circles with radii of hi 1, 3,
and 5 miles about each plant and to assign each tract within
the 5-mile radius of the plant to one of the four zones.
We asked that the tract numbers be read to us over the telephone
and that the worksheets that they used to develop the informa-
tion be mailed to us later. Some respondents also sent in maps
that had been used.
Although many respondents complied fully with our request,
some gave only the numbers of the tracts in which the plants
were located. Sometimes the information was not usable. In
these cases, we made the assignment to the zones from tract
maps. These are published in the 1970 Census Tracts, final
reports, PHC (1) series. There is a report in the series
for each standard metropolitan statistical area for which
tracts' were delineated for the 1970 census.
The respondents were requested to assign each tract to only
one zone, even though it fell into more than one zone. The
rule was that the tract was to be assigned to the zone which
included the largest proportion of its population. This would
lessen the burden on the respondents and on the compilation of
the age and sex data and, assuming that the misassignment of
parts of the tracts would tend to average out, give about the
same results as splitting tracts. We asked the local respond-
ents to make the assignment to zones because they would have
better knowledge of the distribution of the population within
the tracts. When we made the assignments, we assumed an even
distribution of the population within the tracts and placed
eaoh. tract in the zone in which the largest part of its area lay.
Definition of the areas by enumeration district rather than by
tracts would have been preferable. However, the basic data
were more than five years old and the maps necessary to make
an enumeration district assignment are not available in Washington
These are stored at the Bureau of the Census office in Jefferson,
Indiana. An assignment by enumeration district might be
considered in any subsequent follow-up study, if time permits
or need dictates.
II.C-1
-------
A number of plants are in or near small communities outside
tracted areas. The estimates of the population near these
plants reflect the population of county subdivisions within a
5-mile radius. The areas of the county subdivisions are too
large to permit the establishment of distance zones within the
5-mile radius. For the estimates of the population by zones
in the untracted areas, it was assumed that the proportion of
the population within each distance from the plants was about
the same as that of the corresponding zone for the tracted
areas as a whole.
Although Illiopolis, Illinois, is in a tracted area, it was
treated as outside a tracted area on the recommendation of
the local respondent.
The plants considered for inclusion in the survey are shown
in Section V.E. Most are listed as given on the EPA/RTP list.
Some plants, however, are subsidiaries and are known locally
by the subsidiary name, rather than by the name of the parent
company. In these instances, the name of the subsidiary is
shown in parentheses under the listing of the parent company.
The da-ba on age and sex for areas within tracted areas are from
a 100-percent count of the population. With the exception of
those under 1 year and those 1 to 4 years of age, the numbers
represent consolidation of age groups published in the census
tract reports. The age group 5 to 14 years, for example, is
the sum of those reported as 5 to 9 and 10 to 14 years. The
published tract reports show a total for those under 5 years and
a subtotal of those 3 and 4 years old. The number of children
under 1 year of age was estimated as one-third of the difference
between those under 5 and those 3 and 4 years old.
The data on age for areas outside tracted areas are from
unpublished 20-percent sample data for county subdivisions. The
data for those 5 years and over represent consolidation of age
groups as in the tracted areas. Children under 5, however,
are reported as those under 3 and those 3 and 4 years old. The
number of children under 1 was estimated as one-third those
under 3.
There was one exception made in the procedure for obtaining age
by sex for county subdivisions. Such data are published for
the municipios (county equivalents) in Puerto Rico. The
estimates for the PPG Industries plant in Playa Guayanilla were
II.C-2
-------
based on the asumption that the age-sex distribution of the
population in each barrio of a municipio did not differ from
that for the total population of the municipio.
In a relatively short period of time the number of plants
producing vinyl chloride and related products varies; plants
may begin production, cease production, or close. Currently,
production is reported to be low because of business conditions.
Production, however, is expected to increase with a rise in
industrial production generally. It must be remembered that
the plants listed are those reported to be in production in
July 1975. Furthermore, there are several plants now under
construction.
In view of the changing number of plants producing vinyl
chloride, a separate listing is given of those plants reported
as closed. In any future survey or use of the plant listing,
these plants -should be contacted to determine whether production
has been resumed.
For the sake of accounting for all plants in the EPA/RTP list,
those not included in the survey are also given.
In the distribution of the population by distance in Section V,
the listing is by State, place, and'plant. In some places the
plants were located so close to one another that the distance
zones could be considered identical. See, however, the exceptions
discussed in Section III-C.
It is interesting to note that the distribution of the
population by zone and the relative area of each zone correspond
rather closely. As shown in the following tabulation, there
are only small differences in the percent distribution.

III.A. Population in Each Direction From Each Plant
For each plant or group of nearby plants there is one table
in Section V.B. showing the population residing in each of
the 16 compass directions from the plant. Each of the 16
directions represents a 22-%° angle within which the resident
population has been estimated. These data are presented
separately for each 0-?s, ^-1 , 1-3 and 3-5 mile zone around
each plant. In the cases where there was more than one plant,
but the plants were close enough together, they were considered
as a single point source and the data presented in a single
table. In two cases the plants were far enough apart so that
this could not be done, but the plants were close enough so that
the 5-mile zones around the plants overlapped. These two cases
are discussed individually in Sections III.C. and III.D.
Single point sources are located in the following places or
combination of places:
State Place
California Carson
Delaware Delaware City
Kentucky Calvert City
Louisiana Baton Rouge . ...
Geismar
Norco
Taft
Plaquemine
Westlake
Ohio Painesville
Texas Deer Park
Pasadena
Texas City
To estimate the population around each plant or group of
plants, the location of each of these plants was plotted on
the appropriate Bureau of the Census maps of 1970 census tracts.
To determine the direction that each census tract is from the
plant, a transparent template shown below, was constructed
showing the 22%° angle for each of the 16 compass points.
III.A-1
-------
Figure 1. The Direction Template
By placing the center of the template' over the plant location
one can estimate for each census tract the percentage of its
area that lay within each of the 16 compass directions. This
assumes that errors will even out in the total. All the
populations for a given direction were then added together to
obtain an estimate of the total population in that direction.
By this method, population estimates were obtained for each
of the 16 compass directions for each of the four zones around
each plant.
For plants that were located in areas for which the Bureau of
the Census does not have census tracts, maps of census county
divisions were used and the same procedures were followed
as above. Census county divisions are generally larger than
census tracts in area, so that the estimates of directions are
cruder in these cases. However, this occurs only in the
less populous areas, so that the total is affected the least.
III.A-2
-------
III.B. Percent of Time Population is Downwind From Each Plant
The tables in Section V.B., showing the population for each
direction and distance from each plant, have been designed
to provide maximum flexibility when these data are interpreted
or combined with data from other sources. One use of these
data is to combine the data for each plant with the frequency
of winds from various directions to arrive at a table showing
the frequency with which various population groups are downwind
from a plant.
For each plant, one can acquire the frequency of the various
wind directions for the location of the plant or for the
nearest suitable location available for which the data can be
assumed to apply. The following is an example of such a wind
rose for 8 compass directions. These wind roses also exist
with the frequency of each wind direction broken down into the
frequency for each of several wind speed intervals. For the
data in this report, one would want a 16-point rose.
38
Figure 2. Percent of time wind blows from each direction
One can combine the percents from a 16-point wind rose with the
population residing in each direction shown in the tables in
section V.B. to arrive at a table as shown below for each plant,
These tables can then be added together to arrive at a national
total for all plants.

Figure 3. Population Downwind from Plant
The only problem in applying the above procedures was with
populations that are within 5 miles of more than one plant.
When the plants were sufficiently close together there was
no problem because they could be treated as a single point
source of emissions. However, when the plants were far enough
apart so that there were times when a given population was
downwind from one plant but not from another, there are
complications and the procedure had to be modified.
There were two such cases, one in Burlington, New Jersey and
one in Fitchburg and Leominster, Massachusetts. These cases are
treated individually in sections III.C. and III.D. These sections
present the necessary modifications in methodology and the
directional data so that, with some suggested simplifying
assumptions, the data can be combined with wind rose data to
arrive at population downwind data for these cases which can
be added to all the other cases to arrive at national totals.
III.B-2
-------
III.C. Population Within 5 Miles of Two Plants
There is one case where the population resides within 5 miles
of two plants that were far enough apart to be taken as two
separate sources of effluents. This occurs in Burlington, New
Jersey. The two plants, Tenneco and Occidental, are within
less than ten miles of each other so that the 5-mile zones
around the two plants overlap. Note that the cases where
there were more than one plant, but the plants were close
enough together to be treated as a single point source, have
been included in Section III.B.
The population around the Tenneco and Occidental plants can
be classified into three categories:
1. Population residing within 5 miles of the Tenneco
plant but not within 5 miles of the Occidental plant.
2. Population residing within 5 miles of the Occidental
plant but not within 5 miles of the Tenneco plant.
residing within 5 miles of both plants.
lategory #1
•Category #3
•Category #2
Figure 4. Categories of Population Near Two Plants
III.C-1
-------
All the directional data for these two plants are presented in
Section V.C. The first and second categories of population
can be treated exactly as has been done in Sections III.A. and
III.B., since only one plant is involved in each case.
The third category of population poses some complications in
estimating the percent of time that this population is downwind
from a plant. For each census tract, the frequencies of the
wind direction from each of the two plants must be added
together in order to estimate the total percentage of time that
the population is downwind from both plants.
One complication is that some census tracts fall within several
directions from the first plant, and also several directions
from the second plant. The following chart illustrates the
case when there are two directions involved from each plant.
1st plant
census
tract
2nd plant
Figure 5. Illustration of a Census Tract at Different
Directions from Two Plants.
III.C-2
-------
As seen from the tables in Section V.C., there were often
many directions involved from each plant. If one tried to
estimate the proportion of the population in each such census
tract that lay within a single direction of each of these
plants there may be as many as 12 sub-populations in one
census tract. This is an excessively large number of small
populations to try to estimate from the maps that were available
to us. For each census tract, therefore, there is presented
the proportion of the population for each direction from the
first plant and then there is repeated the same information
for the same population for the second plant. It must be
borne in mind in interpreting these data in table V.C. that
the two lines of data for each census tract represent the same
population. In the top line the population is distributed
with respect to its direction for the first plant and in the
bottom line the same population is distributed with respect to
its direction from the second plant.
One can use these data for each census tract to estimate the
percent of time a given population is downwind. To do this,
one must first multiply the percent of population in one
direction from one plant with the percent of population in
one direction from the second plant for all combinations of
directions to obtain the estimates of the population for
each pair of downwind directions. Then one can add the
frequencies of the wind direction for each pair of wind
directions. When these data are accumulated for all census
tracts and all pairs of wind directions, the result will be
a table just like the one in Section III.B. so that the data
can be combined with other data to produce national totals.
One can reduce the number of pairs of directions before
starting these calculations by combining populations in
adjoining directions. By judicious combining one can reduce
the number of directions for many of the census tracts.
There remains one final complication. If the population in
a census tract is in the same distance zone for the two plants,
one can perform a straight addition of the two wind frequencies.
If, however, the population is in a different distance zone
from each of the two plants, one could assign the combined
frequency to one or the other zone, thus producing a range
for the population estimate within each zone rather than
one fixed value. In the table for all plants combined, one
could enter such ranges and only after all plants have been
included, make an estimate of a single value for each range
III.03
-------
For this estimate one could, for example, use the mid-point
of the range. If one is unwilling to estimate, he could take
the lower value of each range as the minimum population
estimate.
III.C-4
-------
III.D. Population Within 5 Miles of Three Plants
In Fitchburg and Leominster, Massachusetts, some of the popula-
tion live within five miles of three plants. The-"three plants,
Great American, Foster Grant, and Borden are all less than
ten miles of each other so that the 5-mile zones around the
three plants overlap. However, the three plants are far
enough apart so that they can be considered as separate sources
of effluents.
One can classify the population around these three plants
into the seven categories shown below. The data for these
categories are presented in Section V.D.
1. Population residing within 5 miles of the Great
American plant but not within 5 miles of the other
two plants.
2. Population residing within 5 miles of the Foster
Grant plant but not within 5 miles of the other
two plants. (There was no population in this category).
3. Population residing within 5 miles of the Borden
plant but not within 5 miles of the other two plants.
4. Population residing within 5 miles of the Great
American and the Foster Grant plants but not the
Borden plant.
5. Population residing within 5 miles of the Great
American and the Borden plants but not the Foster
Grant plant. (There was no population in this category)
6. Population residing within 5 miles of the Foster
Grant and the Borden plants but not the Great American
plant.
7. Population residing within 5 miles of all three plants.
Categories 1-3 can be treated exactly as has been done in
Sections III.A. and III.B. since only one plant is involved
in each category. Categories 4-6 can be treated exactly
as has been done in Section III.C. since only two plants are
involved in each category.
III.D-1
-------
Category 7 can be treated in a manner similar to categories
4-6 except that one has to deal in three dimensions instead
of two and one would have to do more combining of adjacent
directions to keep the number of combinations down to a
manageable quantity.
III.D-2

IV. Reliability of the Results
In arriving at the population estimates presented in this
report there were some steps in the procedures where judgments
had to be made. In every case, an effort was made to make
the judgments on an objective basis so that any other person
making the same estimates would arrive at approximately the
same results.
These estimates were made using the best information currently
available. The most accurate method of determining the population
by distance would be a special -enumeration of the population
such as the Bureau of the Census conducts for governmental
bodies. The resultant improvement in the estimates would not,
however, seem to justify the costs involved.
The greatest reliability in our estimates is in the population
estimates for the 3-5 mile zone. The reliability of the
estimates decreases with decreasing distance from the plant.
This is because entire census tracts were assigned to one
zone. . This process becomes least reliabile for the Q-%
zone for several reasons:
1. The area in the Q-h mile zone is so small, less than
one square mile, so that few census tracts are involved.
This means that there are fewer tracts for the effects of
assignment by entire tracts to balance out.
2. The plants are usually in industrial districts which
are likely to have few or no residents. Tract residents
can be expected to live at some distance from the
plant; when this is the case, the entire tract was
allocated to a more distant zone. However, this
could not always be determined with certainty from
the census tract maps.
In the less densely populated areas where census county divisions
were used because the smaller Bureau of the Census census tracts
had not been defined, it is difficult to attribute directions
to population groups with much precision. However, this is
the best that can be done with the data that are readily avail-
able. To achieve greater precision, one would have to survey
these areas. This would increase the precision of population
estimates for individual locations but would have very little
effect on national totals because there areas represent a very
small proportion of the total population. ' '.' - .
