                        I.    SUMMARY
The Population

In 1970 an estimated 3.6 million persons were living within
five miles of plants currently producing or processing
vinylidene chloride.  The estimated number of persons living
at various distances from the plants are as follows:

               Distance                 Estimated number
               (miles)                      of persons

                  0-ij                          48,739
                  '-i-1                         136,100
                  1-3                       1,304,316
                  3-5                       2,084,240

                        Total               3,573,395

If the 38 plants on which this report is based are classified
according to the process stage in which vinylidene chloride
is involved, the estimated population around these plants is
as follows:

                                        Estimated number
               Process                     of persons

               Total                       3,573,395

This report is based primarily on the plants engaged in
producing or processing vinylidene chloride (VDC) as listed
in the April 1976 report (1)  of Arthur D. Little, Inc. which
was produced under contract for the Environmental Protection
Agency, Control Systems Laboratory, Durham, North Carolina.
However, the original list of 40 plants was revised to 38
plants to reflect deletions due to discontinuation of production
or processing of vinylidene chloride as well as the addition
of new or omitted facilities.  The geographic distribution
of these plants is shown in Figure 1.

-------
Methodology

The population in this report is underestimated slightly
because we have undoubtedly missed some of the minor plants
in the industry. However, every effort was made to include
all the major plants and all the minor plants that we could
identify.

The procedures selected for making the population estimates
for this report were defined objectively.  When a choice of
procedures existed, preference was given to those methods
that include a minimum of subjective judgment and which can
be applied uniformly in all situations.  It is felt that
anyone who follows the procedures used in this report will
arrive at approximately the same results.

The Plants

The April 1976 report (1) of Arthur D. Little, Inc. produced
under contract for the Environmental Protection Agency,
Control Systems Laboratory, Durham, North Carolina, identifies
the major plants in the vinylidene chloride monomer, polymer
and polymer processing industries.  Tables 1, 3, 6, 9, 13,
and 17 in that report list plants that produce or use vinylidene
chloride in various processes.  These six tables are reproduced
in Appendix I of this report.  The 40 plants listed in these
six tables form the base, with appropriate deletions and
additions, for the 38 plants used in this report.  It is
these 38 plants, in 37 different locations, that we refer to
in the tables and discussion about the population residing
near all plants producing or processing vinylidene chloride.

Verification of Plants

Appendix II lists all the 38 plants included in the present
report, giving the address for each one.  Each address is
that of the plant itself and not the front office.  Unfortunately,
in many cases, especially in the less populous areas, the
address is not sufficiently descriptive to be of any significant
help in locating the plant.

Each of the 40 plants listed in Appendix I was telephoned to
check whether it is still in operation and producing or
processing vinylidene chloride as indicated in these tables.
Four plants that gave negative replies are not included in
Appendix II.  During these calls, the plants were asked if
they knew of other plants that might be possibilities for
inclusion.  Two additional plants for which this information
was confirmed to be correct are included in Appendix II.

Categories of Plants

In the Arthur D. Little report (1), it is estimated that
"VDC emissions in the synthesis of the VDC monomer and in
the synthesis of its polymers and their fabrication  (coating
and extrusion), totaled about four million pounds in 1974".
An extimated 82.6 percent of these emissions resulted from
the monomer synthesis, 16.7 percent from the polymer synthesis,
and 0.7 percent from the fabrication and compounding processes.

-------
The 38 plants included in this report can be categorized
according to these three processes as follows:

                                                  No.  of
                                                  Plants

1.   Synthesis of vinylidene chloride monomer....    3
2.   Synthesis of vinylidene chloride polymers...   16
3.   Fabrication using vinylidene chloride
     polymers	   1 9
                                        Total       38

For each of the categories of plants, the A.D.  Little report
(1) contains a brief summary on the structure of the industry.
These summaries are reproduced in Appendix III.

                III.   SOURCE  OF  POPULATION  DATA
 Location of Plants in Tracted  Areas

 The more densely populated  areas of  the  country have been
 divided  into "Census  Tracts" by the  Bureau of  the Census.
 The census  tracts have been formed so  as to contain an
 average  of  4,000 inhabitants each.   Therefore, the tracts
 tend to  be  geographically smaller in the center of large
 cities and  larger as  one moves away  from the center of the
 city.

 The Bureau  of the Census has published a report for each
 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area that has been divided
 into census tracts.   This series of  publications, entitled
 "Census  Tracts-Series PHC-1"  (2), contain a variety of
 information by census tracts,  including  the population by
 age and  sex.  The population data from a sample page of this
 report are  shown in Appendix IV.

 Each of  these reports also  contains  a  map of the entire
 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area showing the outline
 and identification number for  each census tract.  We used
 these publications to determine the  population by age and
 sex residing within each of the following four zones around
 each individual  plant:  0-1/2,  1/2-1, 1-3  and 3-5 miles.

 The Bureau  of the  Census has also published a list of key
 persons  who can  be contacted for information concerning each
 of  the tracted metropolitan areas.   The  name, title, office
 and address of the person for  each of  the tracted areas is
 in  "Appendix C-List of Census  Tract  Key  Persons" of the
 Bureau of Census Publication entitled,  "Census Tract Manual"
 (3).  The key person  is most often the director of the city
 or  county planning agency.

 Location of Plants in Untracted Areas

 For  the  less densely populated areas of  the country, that
 have not been divided into census tracts, we used county
 subdivisions, which are political or administrative subdivisions
 of  counties or subdivisions created by the Bureau of the
Census and for which there are published data on population.

 For each State,  the Bureau of  the Census has presented the
 population of the county subdivisions  in their publication,
 "Number of Inhabitants-Series PC-1A  (4). Each volume includes
 a map of the county subdivisions for that State,  together
with their designations.  We used these publications to
 determine the population within a five mile radius of each
 plant.

-------
For each plant that was located in an untracted area, its
location was plotted on the appropriate map of county
subdivisions.  To locate the plant, a telephone call to the
town where each plant was located, or the nearest town to
it, would yield the distance and direction of the plant from
the nearest town.  In each case, the plant location was not
used until it was independently obtained from two sources.
The best sources for such information were:

     1.   The Chamber of Commerce
     2.   The public library
     3.   The plant itself

-------
                 IV.  ESTIMATE METHODOLOGY


 Population Estimates for Tracted Areas

 For  each plant that was situated in a tracted area, the
 Census Tract key person was telephoned to obtain the identification
 number of the census tract in which the plant was located
 and  the location of the plant within the census tract.  For
 greater accuracy, we also asked in each case that the plant
 be plotted on a census tract map and that a portion of the
 may  be photocopied and mailed to us.  In a few cases, this
 request was refused or the map was never received.

 With this information, we plotted the location of the plant
 on the census tract map published by the Bureau of the
 Census in their "Census Tracts-Series PHC-1" reports (2).

 After a plant was located on the census tract map, we then
 defined the four zones by drawing four concentric circles
 around the plant with radii of 1/2, 1, 3 and 5 miles.  We
 then listed the identification numbers of the census tracts
 that were within 0-1/2, 1/2-1, 1-3 and 3-5 miles of the
 plant.  A census tract was listed only once, in the zone
which contained the greatest portion of its area.  If most
 of the area lay outside the 5 mile circle, a census tract
was not indued at all.  Using the census tract identification
 number, the population, by age and sex, was then obtained
 for each Census Tract from the "Census Tracts" report and
 totaled for each zone.  These rules carry the implicit
assumption that the population is evenly distributed within
the area of a census tract.  We assume that the errors
caused by this procedure will even out in the total population
 for all plants, but not necessarily for each individual
plant, and especially not for the individual plants in the
 less densely populated areas.

An exception to the above rule was made for census tracts
that had any part of their area within 1/2 mile of the plant
because there was less opportunity for errors to balance out
due to the small number of census tracts involved.  These
census tracts were listed in each zone in which any portion
of their area lay and the percent of their area in each zone
was recorded to the nearest 10%.  The population of each of
these census tract was then multiplied by these percents to
obtain the population estimate for each zone.  This rule
also contains the implicit assumption of an even distribution
of the population within the census tract.

-------
In a very few instances,  a census tract has been split by
the Bureau of the Census  to reflect political boundaries and
the population data for it is presented separately for each
part and also together for the total of the two parts.  In
all such cases, we treated it as a whole census tract and
ignored the split.

The age groups in the Census Bureau publications are more
detailed than used in this report so that age groups were
added together to obtain  the data of this report.   The
reverse was true in one case.  The Bureau of the Census
population data is available for the age group "under 5"
and for the age group 3-4.  To obtain the population estimates
for the age group "under  1", we subtracted the latter from
the former and divided by 3.  The population estimate for
the age group 1-4 was then obtained by subtracting that for
"under 1" from that for "under 5".

Appendix V. shows the mapping procedures for an example of a
tracted area.

Population Estimates for  Untracted Areas

After a plant was plotted on the appropriate map of county
subdivisions, we drew a circle around it with a five-mile
radius.  Then we recorded the name and percentage of each
county subdivision that lay partly or wholly within this
circle.  This again assumes an even geographic distribution
of the population which results in a random error in the
estimates which can be expected to even out in the total of
all plants.

We estimate these percentages rather than use the "all or
none" rule that we used for census tracts because the county
subdivisions are usually much larger areas than the census
tracts.  This was an effort to reduce the amount of random
error that results from these estimation procedures.
Nevertheless, the random error in the population estimates
is undoubtedly larger for the untracted areas than it is for
the tracted areas.  However, random errors tend to average
out for the total of all plants, and, more importantly, the
population in the untracted areas is much smaller than in
the tracted areas and therefore the errors for these areas
have a much smaller influence on the total.

Since we took a portion of the total population for many of
the county subdivisions,  it was necessary to estimate an
age-sex distribution for each of these portions.  There were
two choices of data on which to base these estimates.  One
choice was to use the population by age and sex for the
county subdivisions which is unpublished but can be obtained

-------
 from the  Bureau of  the Census.  The other choice was to use
 the population by age and  sex for counties which is published
 by the  Bureau of the Census  in  "General Population
 Characteristics-Series PC-1B"  (5).  There is one such
 publication  for each state.  We chose the second method
 because it could be done faster.  A typical page from this
 publication  is reproduced  in Appendix VI.  The population
 for the desired age-sex groups  in the whole county was
 obtained  by  addition of the  more detailed age groups in the
 table.  These populations  were  then converted to percents
 and these percents  were applied to our estimate of the
 population in the 5-mile zone in each county.

 The maps  of  county  subdivisions do not show enough detail to
 try to  estimate the population  in each of the zones within
 the 5 mile circle around each plant.  Therefore, the population
 for the 0-1/2, 1/2-1, 1-3  and 3-5 mile zones around the
 plant were estimated by multiplying the final estimate for
 each age-sex group  by .011,  .044, .346 and .599 respectively
 which are the ratios of the  population estimates for the
 first group of plants in the tracted areas that were completed.
 These are very close to .010, .030, .320 and .640 which are
 the ratios of the areas defined by four concentric circles
 with radii of 1/2,  1, 3 and  5 miles.

 Direction from plant

 In  the  tracted areas, the  area  in the five mile circle
 around  each plant was divided into the 16 compass directions
 by  drawing a set of lines, all  running through the location
 of  the  plant and 22-1/2 degrees apart, so as to determine
 the  boundaries of the 16 compass directions.  For each
 census  tract, we estimated the  percent of its area to the
 nearest 10% that lay in each of the directions.   Then, by
multiplying these percents by the total population in each
 census  tract, we got an estimate of the population in each
direction for each census  tract.  We then summed up the
 estimated population in each of the directions of all the
 census  tracts in an entire zone to get the total estimated
population for that direction in that zone.   This procedure
 also assumes an even distribution of the population geographically.

 In  the  cases where only a  certain percentage of a census
 tract was taken to  lie in  a given zone,  the estimates of
 percents for each of the directions were taken from only
 that portion of the tract  that  lay in that zone.  In the
 cases where the entire census tract was taken to lie in one
 zone even though part of it  lay in other zones,  the percent
 for each direction were taken for the entire census tract.
                              10

-------
In the untracted areas, the area in the five mile circle
around each plant was divided into 16 compass directions the
same as for the plants in the tracted areas.  For each
county subdivision, or part of one, that lay within the
five mile circle, we estimated the percent of area, to the
nearest 10%, that lay in each of the directions.  Then, by
multiplying the percents by the estimated population within
the 5-mile circle we obtained the estimated population in
each direction for each whole or partial county subdivision.
We then summed up the estimated population in each of the
directions for all county subdivisions to get the total
estimated population for each direction.

The population for the 0-1/2, 1/2-1, 1-3 and 3-5 mile zones
around the plant were estimated by multiplying the final
estimate for each direction by .011, .044, .346 and .599
respectively.

                        V.  RESULTS

Population by age, sex, direction, and distance from plant

Table  1 presents the estimated population by age, sex and
distance from the plant for the total of all 38 plants
included in this report.  The estimated population by age,
sex, and distance from each plant separately is presented in
Appendix VII.  Appendix VIII presents the estimated population
by direction and distance from each plant separately.

Population by process stage

Of the 38 plants, 3 are engaged in the monomer synthesis
process, 16 in polymer synthesis and 19 in fabrication.  The
population estimates for each of these processes separately
are presented in Tables 2, 3, and 4.

Population in Tracted and Untracted Areas

Of the total population of 3.6 million, 3.3 million, or 92%
reside in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas that have
been divided into census tracts.  The remaining 0.3 million
or 8% reside in the less populous untracted areas.  Appendix
IX shows the population estimates for the 24 locations in
untracted areas.  Appendix X shows the population estimates
for the 13 locations in untracted areas.

Population by State

The total population of 3.6 million is shown by state in
Appendix XI.                                             „»

Population by Company

The total population of 3.6 million is shown by company in
Appendix XII.

Cumulative Population

Appendix XIII presents the cumulative population by plant.
It is seen that 58% of the population resides near four
plants.

        VI. COMPARISON OF METHODOLOGY IN THIS REPORT
                WITH THAT FOR VINYL CHLORIDE
The procedures followed in this report were those developed
for a similar report  (6) published in November 1975 wherein
we estimated the population residing near plants tht produce
vinyl chloride or vinyl chloride resins.  In this section,
we shall list only the changes in methodology.

In telephoning the census tract key person, for this report,
we asked only for the identification number of the census
tract in which the plant was located and the location of the
plant within that tract.  We did not ask them to list the
identification numbers of the census tracts within 0-1/2,
1/2-1, 1-3, and 3-5 miles of the plant.  This had several
advantages:

1.   The individuals were much more cooperative when we
     asked for less work from them.

2.   Our experience last time was that they often misunderstood
     our rules and sometimes did a careless job so that we
     had to re-do the job.

3.   We could do just as good a job ourselves with maps.

4.   Our rule this time was to select tracts by area alone
     and not use any subjective judgment about the distribution
     of the population within a tract.  Therefore, with this
     rule, there was no gain in accuracy in asking them to
     do it.

We added an exception to the rule of allocating census
tracts to zones for the tracted areas.  The exception is
that for all tracts that lie partly within the 0-1/2 mile
zone, we designated that percent of their area which lay in
each of the zones and allocated that percent of their
population to each zone.  For untracted areas, we also
changed the rule of allocating entire county subdivisions to
be in or out of the 5 mile circle around the plant.  The new
rule was to estimate the percent of each county subdivision
that lay within the 5 mile circle and to take that percent
of the population.

The above two changes in the rules means that the plants
that appear in both reports, that is, this report and the
1975 vinyl chloride report(6), will show somewhat different
populations.   We believe that the present estimates, although
not necessarily better for any individual plant, will be
better for the total of all plants.
                             17

-------
             VII.  RELIABILITY OF THE ESTIMATES

 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 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 outside the 0-1/2 mile
 zone were assigned to one zone, and there are fewer census
 tracts for errors to balance out as one gets closer to the
 plant.

 In  the less densely populated areas where the Bureau of the
 Census county subdivisions were used because the smaller
 census tracts were not available, it is difficult to attribute
 direction to population groups with much precision.  However,
 this is the best that can be done with the data that are
 readily available.   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 these
 areas represent a very small percent of the total population
 living near such plants.

 Each plant was plotted as a point on a Census Bureau map,
 either the map of census tracts or of the map of county
 subdivisions.   Therefore, it was not possible to distinguish
 detail with respect to the area of the plant.  This was, in
most cases,  quite adequate for estimating the population
within 1/2,  1,  3,  or 5 miles from a plant.   However,  for
 certain plants that cover a larger area,  this method may be
 too crude for estimating the population within 1/2 or 1 mile
 from the plant.   No effort was made to identify such plants.

          Appendix III.   Structure of the Industry

1.    Monomer Synthesis

     "Vinylidene chloride is produced commercially in the
     United States by Dow Chemical and PPG Industries.
     Vulcan Materials was formerly a producer,  but halted
     production on January 1,  1974,  after manufacturing
     vinylidene chloride for about three years.

     "Three plants manufacture vinylidene chloride in the
     U.S.A. ------   Because vinylidene chloride manufacture
     is limited to only  two producers, production statistics
     are not readily available.   Consequently,  our estimates
     were based on an analysis of the consumption of vinylidene
     chloride in various conversions, and an analysis of the
     consumption of chlorine in the manufacture of VDC.
     Although PPG Industries manufactures more  vinylidene
     chloride than Dow Chemical, most of PPG's  VDC is used
     captively to yield  methychloroform (see Equation 1).

           (1)  CH =CC1 +HC1 —^ CH CC1
                 22           33

     "PPG Industries produces about 175 million Ibs. of VDC
     annually, and 85% to 90% is used captively to manufacture
     methylchoroform. The remainder is sold into the merchant
     market, where it is used by ploymer producers.

     "Dow Chemical also  uses most of its VDC production
     captively.  We estimate Dow's total production (captive
     and merchant) was about 90-95 million Ibs.  in 1974.
     Dow uses VDC to produce a variety of VDC copolymers
     	 and  sells about 20-25 million Ibs.
     annually into the merchant market for polymer synthesis.
     PPG Industries probably also sells about 20-25 million
     Ibs of VDC annually.  Thus, the total merchant market
     for VDC monomer is  about 40-50 million Ibs. per year.

     "_______ the  annual production of VDC in 1974 was
     260-270 million Ibs.  According to information provided
     to us by the Louisiana Air Quality Commission, Dow
     Chemical plans to expand their VDC capacity facility
     sometime during 1975."

2.    Polymerization process: PVDC Latex for Barrier Coatings

     "In 1974, about 20-22 million pounds of PVDC  (on a dry
     solids basis) were  produced as barrier coating latices.
                             27

-------
     Dewey and Almy Chemical (Division of Grace) dominates
     this market.  Alone, they account for 50-60% of the
     merchant market.  Morton Chemical Co. (Division of
     Morton Norwich) is No. 2 in the industry.  They account
     for 18-20% of the merchant market.  The remaining
     merchant production is approximately equally divided
     between BASF-Wyandotte, Dow Chemical, and Staley
     Chemical.  ------  Recall that Dow was also cited
     as a monomer producer.  These producers sell primarily
     to members of the packaging industry who manufacture
     PVDC-coated film (polyethylene polyester, polypropylene
     and nylon) and PVDC-coated glassine, paper and paperboard.

     "In addition to these merchant producers, others manufacture
     and use the latex captively, as exemplified by DuPont
     and 01in.  DuPont uses its latex to coat polyester
     (Mylar) film (they make several copolymer products),
     and Olin uses its latex to coat polyethylene, qlassine,
     and other plastic films.  These captive operations are
     small.  In 1974, about 1-1.5 million pounds  (dry basis)
     of PVDC barrier-coating latex was produced captively.

     "Because the market for PVDC barrier-coating latex has
     shown little growth during the past several years, most
     of the producers have idle capacity.  The plants vary
     in age, some are 20 years old, but most are about 10
     years old.  Dewey and Almy had manufactured PVDC latex
     in two locations—Acton, Mass, and Owensboro, Ky.; but
     the Acton plant, which was the older one, was closed
     three years ago.  The Owensboro plant was expanded four
     years ago."

3.    Polymerization process: PVDC Latex for Miscellaneous
     Applications

     "Because some manufacturers may use very small amounts
     of VDC in a particular copolymer,  any list of manufacturers
     who use VDC in this miscellaneous category could be
     incomplete.  A number of companies have used VDC in the
     past but are currently non-users,  e.g.,  Borden Chemical.
     Borden was a consumer of VDC about six years ago.  Both
     Glidden-Durkee (Division of SCM Corporation) and C5AF
     Corporation have considered the use of VDC in their
     copolymers but, at this time, they do not use this
     monomer.

     "We have estimated that in 1974 about 15 million Ibs.
     of VDC were used to manufacture latices for miscellaneous
     applications other than barrier coatings.  We believe
     that Dow Chemical is the major manufacturer in this
                              28

-------
category.  They could account for about 50% of this
market.  Standard Brands is another major user, and
Goodrich Chemical, Rohm and Haas, and National Starch
are minor VDC consumers.  ------

"In 1974, Dow Chemical introduced three new latices,
specifically for the carpet-backing market.  They were
designed for double jute lamination of tufted carpets.
These latices contain at least 50% polymerized VDC and
some contain more.  The comonmers are butadiene and
styrene.  The latices have about 47-48% solids.  These
products are manufactured in four locations.

"Standard Brands makes a similar line of products.
Standard Brands also manufactures latices containing
PVDC for coating paper and textiles, and they sell a
PVDC Latex for adhesive applications.

"Goodrich Chemical manufactures three types of PVDC
latices.  The comonomers are vinyl chloride and acrylates.
One polymer series contains about 25% polymerized VDC
and others contain 60% and 80% polymerized VDC.  These
latices have a solids content of about 45-50% and are
used as flame-resistant coatings.

"Rohm and Haas makes products that are similar to those
manufactured by Goodrich, but Rohm and Haas does not
use vinyl chloride as the comonomer.  In the past, Rohm
and Haas manufactured only two types of PVDC polymers.
One contains about 50% polymerized VDC and is used as a
back coating for fabrics in automotive applications,
and the other contains more than 50% polymerized VDC
and is used primarily as a flame-resistant binder.
Early in 1975, Rohm and Haas introduced a new latex,
which contains more than 50% polymerized VDC.  It is
being sold for spray applications for non-wovens and
fibers.  These products have a solids content of about
45%.

"National Starch makes two latices that contain VDC.
The comonomers are vinyl acetate and various acrylates.
One latex contains 50% polymerized VDC and another 70%
polymerized VDC.  This manufacturer also sells a PVDC
product in solution form, which contains about 10%
polymerized VDC.  These products, too, are used for
flame-resistant coatings and saturants."
                        29

4.   Polymerization Process: PVDC Synthetic Fibers

     "About 16 million pounds of VDC were used to manufacture
     synthetic fibers in 1974.  Only three companies are
     involved in this activity, ------.  Tennessee
     Eastman is by far the major producer, followed by
     Monsanto and American Cyanamid.  The Tennessee Eastman
     product is called VEREL, and Monsanto's product is
     called ACRILAN.  Monsanto1s-modacrylic fiber is based
     on a polymer that contains not only VDC to improve
     flame resistance but also vinyl bromide."

5.   Fabrication: PVDC-Coated Cellophane

     "Only three companies manufacture cellophane: DuPont,
     FMC, and Olin.  Dupont accounts for about 50% of the
     market, FMC about 30%, and Olin about 20%.  Each of
     these companies manufactures PVDC-coated cellophane,
     some more than others.  ------  Note that most
     plants in this industry are relatively old.   The two
     newest ones are operated by DuPont (Tecumseh, KS)  and
     FMC (Marcus Hook, PA).  The largest cellophane plants
     have a capacity of 200,000 Ibs./day or 80 million
     Ibs./year,  and the small ones produce about half this
     amount."

6.   Fabrication: Extruded PVDC Products

     "For the  most part,  the thermoplastic PVDC resin is
     used in extrusion processes by six companies.  Amtech
     is the only one that extrudes PVDC monofilament.   The
     others manufacture a variety of PVDC film products.
     Cryovac is  the major consumer of the extrusion resin
     (mostly the emulsion type)  and Oscar Meyer is Number 2
     (Mostly the suspension type).  ------

     "Cryovac  uses PVDC in coextrusion and in laminate
     constructions.   It is not only a PVDC fabricator but it
     converts  the resulting film into bags and sheets,  and
     prints.  Most of Cryovac's output is sold to packagers.
     Oscar  Meyer, on the other hand,  is both fabricator-
     converter and packager,  whereas American Can Co.  and
     Union  Carbide Corp.  sell their product to packagers.
     Dow Chemical is a monomer and resin producer as well as
     fabricator-converter.

     "We estimate that about 45 million pounds of PVDC
     resins was  extruded in 1974,  including a few million
     pounds that was supplied by a foreign resin supplier.
     We believe  that only one fabricator uses this foreign
     source.  Approximately equal  volumes of the suspension
     and emulsion resins were used by the manufacturers - -

            Appendix V.  Example of a Tracted Area

A typical example of the mapping procedure followed is the
case for Cleveland, Ohio.  The plant is located in census
tract 1052 and its exact location within the tract is indicated
in Appendix Figure V-a, which is the map mailed to us by the
Regional Planning Commission for Cuyahoga County, Ohio.  The
appropriate portions of the census tract maps for the Cleveland
Stpnifard Metropolitan Area are shown in Appendix Figures V-b,
v-c, V-d and V-e.

The plant and the four concentric circles were plotted on
the map shown in Appendix Figure V-b in order to see how
many of the inset maps the area extends into.  The plant,
the four concentric circles, and the sixteen direction lines
were then plotted on each of the inset maps as shown in
Appendix Figures V-c, V-d, and V-e.  It should be noted  that the
scale varies from map to map.

   Estimation of  population residing near plants producing or

 16. ABSTRACT
       This report presents estimates of the population residing
   within five miles of plants currently producing  or processing
   vinylidene chloride and the methodology used  for estimation.
       It is estimated that 3.6 million persons  reside within five
   miles of the  38 plants that have been identified.   These estimates
   are presented by age, sex, direction and distance from the plant
   for each of the 38 plants individually.
       For the plants located in  Standard Metropolitan Statistical
   Areas that have been divided into "census tracts", census tracts
   and the population was estimated from Bureau  of  the Census
   publications  giving the 1970 population for census tracts.  For
   plants located in untracted areas, the estimates were made using
   Bureau of the Census maps of county subdivisions and publications
   giving the 1970 population for county subdivisions.
