EXECUTIVE SDKKAEY
The U.S* chemical industry has identified a need to collect information about individual chemical company efforts to reduce unreasonable risk to health and the environment, in response to that objective the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) has undertaken a survey with jthe assistance of feat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co* This report -summarises the survey results.
Prior to conducting a survey of the chemical industry. Pest Marwick assisted CHA in developing a questionnaire and testing it in a pilot survey of 22 companies. The pilot survey evaluated the feasibility of conducting an industry survey and idea* tified flaws in the questionnaire design.' As a result of the pilot survey,, it was determined that a full-industry survey was feasible with modifications to the questionnaire. The final questionnaire used In the survey is contained In Appendix A.
participation in the survey was not limited in any way, provided that the participating companies could respond to the questionnaire for their U.S. chemical business (defined as domestic sales plus domestic based exports of products in SIC Code 28, Chemicals and Allied Products, but excluding Sic Code 283, Drugs). CMA requested the participation of their own member companies and made an extensive effort to contact and encourage participation of member companies from other chemical trade associations.
Completed questionnaires were submitted directly to Peat Marwick to maintain the confidentiality of Individual company responses. Each survey response was coded, and company specific Information was removed from each questionnaire. The data col lected from the survey have been compiled into a computerized data base to provide the aggregated results for this report.
One hundred and twelve valid survey responses were received during the course of the survey. The size of responding com panies, as measured by 1981 U.S. chemical sales, varied greatly. Thirty-seven responses were received from companies with 1981 O.S. chemical sales of less than $50 million. Eleven responses were received from companies with 1981 U.S. chemical sales of greater than $2 billion.
The total U.S. chemical sales represented by the survey are $78 billion, which is estimated to represent slightly more than one half of the 1981 industry sales. The total U.S. chemical Industry employment represented by the survey is 474,300, which also represents slightly more than one-half of the 1981 industry employment

The complete survey results are summarised in the findings section of the report. Appendix B, which is attached to this report* provides statistical summaries for the responses to "continuous" variables, such as sales and staffing levels. Appendix C* which is bound in a supporting document labeled "Statistical Appendices," provides a complete listing of statis tical summaries for the responses to each Question in .the survey. The statistics included in both Appendix B and
-Appendix c are presented for completeness.
This survey has resulted in the collection and analysis of a substantial data base of information about the u.S. chemical industry'a activities to reduce unreasonable risk to health and the environment. The format of the survey also permits industry, government* and the public to assess issues by various parameters. Appendix D presents representative examples of statistical analyses conducted on the survey responses* to -determine if chemical companies of a particular size* line of business* or other factor responded to the survey in a signifi cantly different way. The conclusion from these analyses is that the vast majority of responses bear little relationship to company size* line of business* or other company characteristic.

BACKGROUND
During the past decade, the U.S. chemical industry has received significant attention from regulators and the public concerning the safety of chemicals to health and the environ ment. To address concerns that have arisen, the chemical indus try needed to gather information that describes typical company practices for controlling and reducing unreasonable risk to health and the environment.
The information needed to document efforts by the industry to control and reduce unreasonable risk has not been readily available. The information is company-specific and relates to health and environmental policies and procedures, staffing, expenditures, use and availability of information, and many other practices. To collect this information and develop a pro file of the industry, a survey of the companies in the industry was required.
The Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) requested that Peat Marwick assist them in conducting an industry survey of chemical company activities to reduce unreasonable risk. Preceding the industry survey, a questionnaire was developed by industry experts with the assistance of peat Marwick. This questionnaire was pilot tested during a limited survey of chem ical companies during July and August 1982. As a result cf the pilot survey, it was determined that a full industry survey was feasible with a few modifications to the questionnaire.
The questionnaire was revised to increase clarity and a follow-up effort was conducted with companies that participated in the pilot survey to update their survey responses to the revised questionnaire. The refined pilot survey responses were then Included in the full industry survey on a comparable basis.
STUDY OBJECTIVES
This study is a chemical industry survey of U.S. chemical company activities to reduce unreasonable risk to health and the environment. The objectives in conducting the survey were tos
develop a credible data base of information on the chemical industry; and
provide accurate results that document the indus try's level of effort in reducing unreasonable risk.

AP00004587
STUDY APPROACH
The Approach In conducting the Industry survey was to con*
duct a widespread mailing of questionnaires (see Appendix A for a copy of the questionnaire) to chemical companies, cma was responsible for coordinating all mailing activities and also contacted other chemical trade associations to elicit partici pation in the survey from companies that do not belong to CMA. The other trade associations who participated werei
* the Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC)*
. the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Asso ciation (SOCMA) t
the Metal Finishing Suppliers' Association (MFSA); and
the Manmade Fiber Producers Association (MFFA).
Survey questionnaires were mailed out to potential partici pants in October, and a response was raquasted by November 30, 1962* While the questionnaires were being completed. Peat Marwick provided telephone asaistance to companies that required clarification of instructions for completing the questionnaire.
Prior to receiving survey responses, an internal compu terised data entry and retrieval system was davaloped to store survey results. This system was designed to provide for rapid data entry and raviev in preparing the data base.
All survey responses were returned directly to Peat Marwick to maintain the confidentiality of Individual company responses. Each of the questionnaires received was logged into a master coding book, reviewed for completeness, and, when necessary, the participating company was called for additional information or clarification of survey input.
Survey responses were then entered into the data retrieval system and independently reviewed in order to minimise errors in the data base. All company-specific information that could be used.to identify respondents was then removed from each survey. Although individual questionnaires were reviewed for complete ness and clarity. Peat Marwick did not independently verify any of the information provided in this survey.
The remaining portions of this report present our findings based on the survey data base.

FINDINGS
This section of the report provides a complete summary of the survey results* It Includes a discussion of general results, an Introduction to the presentation approach, and the presentation of aggregated survey results*
General Survey results
One hundred seventeen (117) companies responded to the survey describing their D.S* chemical business and efforts to reduce unreasonable risk* Host of these respondents completed all or at least the majority of the questionnaire, as requested* Five of the responses were not considered to be valid responses due to incomplete data (e*g*, the majority of the questionnaire was not completed) or their chemical business did not .fell within the survey definition of a chemical business*! Therefore, the survey results are based on 112 valid responses to the questionnaire.
The sizes of responding companies, as measured by 1981 D*S* chemical sales, varied greatly and are summarized in the follow ing table.

AP00004589
The total 1981 D.S. chemical sales reported by the partici pants in the survey is 978.45 billion (1981 dollars). This com pares with $139.0 billion (1961 dollars) in sales reported for the Industry (SIC code 28, excluding code 283) by the Federal Trade Commission.1 Therefore# the 1961 C.S. chemical sales reported in the survey represents approximately 56 percent of the total industry sales.
The total 1981 D.S. chemical Industry employment reported
by the survey participants is 474*293. This compares vith total
industry employment of 907*800 reported for the Industry (SZC
code 281 excluding 283) by the tabor Cepartment.2 Therefore*
the 1981 O.S. chemical industry employment reported in the survey represents approximately 52 percent of the total industry employment.
in summary# the responding companies represent approxi mately one-half of the total industry on the basis of sales and employment* and Table 1 indicates that a broad distribution of company sizes is represented in the survey.
Approach for Presenting Results
The survey results are presented in the remainder of the report following the structure of the survey questionnaire.
The questionnaire consists of five major sections.
i General Company Information;
iz Chemical flazard Assessment;
III Hazard communication;
IV Hazard Control; and
V Environmental Control Costs.
In presenting results* these sections are presented in order# and the original language of the questionnaire has been maintained wherever possible.
The responses to each survey question are aggregated to present the total and mean (arithmetic average) responses for appropriate questions (e.g.* number of employees) and response

frequencies (e.g., percent of companies indicating "yes* of the companies responding to the question) for all other questions. a number of the survey questions also requested "other* responses. These responses have been compiled and are presented directly after the results for each question.
Detailed results for key questions are presented in Appendix B and a complete summary of responses for each question
is provided in Appendix c. These appendices provide a number of
useful statistics that describe the distribution of responses to individual questions. The statistics included are comprehensive and are provided as complete documentation.
Generally# 105 to 112 responses were received for any one question; however, in certain instances the response rate is lower due to the survey design (sections are skipped by respon dents due to contingent questions) or other factors. Appendices B and C should be referenced for a better under standing of the response to a particular question.
A statistical analysis of relationships between key vari ables has been conducted. Representative examples of these analyses are presented and discussed in Appendix D. The analyses conducted included multiple linear regression for' continuous variables such as sales and staffing# and cross tabulation for integer variables such as responses to "yes/no" questions. In both cases the analysis is directed toward iden tifying associations between responses to specific survey questions and key industry segments (e.g.# sales and line of business) and then determining the significance of those associations.
This effort was undertaken to determine if the data col lected in the survey can be used to define industry segments that have significantly different practices. The conclusions to be drawn from Appendix D are that the vast majority of responses bear little relationship to company size# line of business or other company characteristic.

Question B.3 was an open question which requested specific examples demonstrating management's approach for dealing with health and environmental matters.
Sixty-four percent of the survey respondents provided examples. The examples fall into six major categories;
upper management involvement; designation of health and environmental responsi
bilities; . health and environmental policies; health and environmental programs; Industry research association membership; and health and environmental performance.
10
AP00004596
Many respondents cited examples of upper management involvement to demonstrate their management's approach to health and environmental matters. This involvement took many forms:
Environmental staff reporting directly to upper
management. One company's environmental staff reports directly to the executive vice president. Another company's health, safety and environmental
affairs manager reports to a corporate vicepresident.
Upper management environmental policy oversight. One company has a vice presidential regulatory
affairs committee which oversees policy decisions. Another company established a corporate level envi ronmental affairs committee to attend to health and environmental issues.
.
PPPer management review of corporate environmental
performance and programs. One company appointed
members of the board of directors to a "public
responsibility committee" which meets regularly to
review corporate performance in environmental health
areas. Another company has a corporate environ
mental committee composed of corporate officers and
company managers which reviews, coordinates and
approves all environmental programs.
Another
company has a corporate group which is responsible for developing policy and advising and auditing line functions. One company sends copies of environ
mental assessment reports to its board of directors.
Upper management participation in environmental committees. One company reported top management involvement in environmental committees.
Upper management responsibility for environmental
compliance. One company has a "corporate compliance
committee7 whose members are the corporate general counsel, vice president of technology, and manager of regulatory affairs. This committee reviews health and environmental concerns and reports directly to the president. Another company's major executives are responsible for ensuring facility*
compliance with corporate health and environmental policies. Another company compiles reports of incidents by computer and then summarizes them for
corporate management. All lost time accidents are immediately reported to the corporate management of
another company.
11
AP00004597
Many companies cited examples of the designation of health
and environmental responsibilities to illustrate their manage
ment's approach to health and environmental matters. Companies
designated vice presidents, managers, and line management and established boards, committees, and departments vith environ mental responsibilities. Many of the health and environmental committees are corporate level organizations.
Companies frequently cited health and environmental policies to illustrate - their health andenvironmental approaches. Companies reported that they have policies con cerning distribution practices, technical publications, health, environmental quality, social responsibility, product testing, production. Industry sssociations, information . availability, product quality, and regulatory compliance. Some of these policies were to:
encourage technical publications;
. stop production to avoid or minimize health or environmental problems;
perform health, safety, environmental, and regula tory reviews of new products, new processes, and old processes which have been significantly changed;
encourage participation in CMA committees and with governmental agencies;
review all new or modified projects;
apply contaminant standards; use only approved hazardous waste disposal companies;
provide occupational health manuals for each plant;
have all employees wear proper safety equipment; evaluate health and environmental hazards of new raw
materials;
collect MSDSs for all materials and make them avail able on site;
provide MSDSs for all products;
maintain open communications with OSHA and NXOSB; and
comply vith all OSHA regulations.
12
AP00004598
Survey respondents provided 81 examples of health and environmental programs which demonstrate their approach to health and environmental matters. The examples fall under seven major types of programs:
Product safety. Examples included product steward
ship, quality control, loss prevention, and testing
programs.
%m v
Audits. Respondents cited safety, health, environ mental and industrial hygiene audit programs.
Employee training. Companies train employees in......... safety, loss prevention, first aid and CPR.
Emergency response. Respondents have emergency response systems for chemical emergencies. Cne
company specified that it has emergency response
teams for transportation incidents.
Worker health. companies perform physicals, blood tests, and medical surveys; monitor chemical expo sures; use medical systems manuals; and have venti lation, hearing conservation, and industrial hygiene programs. One company developed a computer-based information system to track worker health, exposures, and materials at a cost of $2 million.
Environmental. companies cited water monitoring, hazardous waste, environmental engineering and toxicity testing programs.
Information systems. Companies cited KSCS management, 6(e) reporting, customer information distri
bution, coding, labeling and chemical data collection programs.
Several companies cited industry research association membership as an example of how they approach health and envi ronmental matters. One company's upper management Is actively
involved in the Chemical industry Institute of Toxicology (CUT), and its key managers participate in the safety, health,
and environment committee of several Industry associations including the Chemical Kanufaeturars Association (CHA), American Petroleum' Institute (API), Society of plastics Industry (SPZ),
International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers (lisspj, and Chemical Specialties Manufacturers Association (CSMA) Other companies reported that they:
are members of the National Safety Council;
participate in outside environmental organizations;

- encourage working with governmental agencies*
Several companies cited their health and environmental performance records as a demonstration of their approach to health^ and environmental matters* These companies cited the following examples:
In 19811 a company had no OSEA citations, no fatal ities# and the lowest frequency of employee Injury and illness in the nation.
A company withdrew a product from the market because of discovered chronic health effects.
A company led the industry in the development of quality assurance testing methods and company speci fications on emissions from building products*
A company modified manufacturing processes to elimi nate hazardous waste.
A company's major industrial chemical facility has coordinated an emergency response plan and served as the command center for a major region in the country.

I. C. Organization
The following questions were designed to determine how com panies have organized their U.S. chemical business to carry out their environmental and health policies.
Question C.l asks if a company has one or more .groups whose sole function is dealing with health or environmental matters.
Of the responding companies, 78 percent indicated that they do have one or more of these groups.
Question C.2 asks for a count of all health/envlronmental specialists (internal staff and outside consultants) used by a U.S. chemical company in 1981 on an equivalent full-time basis without double counting.

SECTION II CHEMICAL HAZARD ASSESSMENT
Survey Results This section was designed to determine what U.S. chemical companies are doing to identify chemical hazards to health and the environment. Hazard assessment is sometimes called loss prevention or product safety review; it involves the determi nation of a hazard's presence or absence through the review of available data such as toxicity/ environmental fate/ and physi cal/chemical properties to evaluate the potential for harm or need for additional information.

II. B. Testing Toxicity testing can be helpful to determine whether a sub
stance could pose a hazard. This testing is defined to include animal# environmental# epidemiological# clinical# toxicological# etc.
B.l Does your company have toxicity tests performed to evaluate the health effects or environmental effects of chemicals?
Of the companies responding# 78 percent answered yes to this question. The remaining questions in Section II. B were answered by the companies that perforin toxicity testing.
fi.1.1 In approximately what year did your company begin performing toxicity tests?
The mean response to the survey was 1963.
Questions B.2-B.4 request information that describes a chemical company's 1981 toxicity testing program in terms of staffing, number of products tested# expense of program# and' replacement value of testing facilities. Becognizing that a company's testing program may include a level of effort towards business segments other than their t)*S. chemical business# as defined in the survey# question B.3 requested an estimate of percentage of total expense that was attributable to the D.s. chemical business segment only. This factor has been used to adjust survey responses in all categories of questions B.2 and B.4. The corresponding results of the survey are presented in Table 2.

Question .5 asked for examples which demonstrated changes in testing programs during the past 10 years*
Fifty-five percent of the survey respondents provided . examples. The examples fall into one of the following testing
program changes:
organizational changes;
new toxicity testing facilities and equipment;
increased staffing;
new testing policies;
. improved testing practices;
increased numbers of tests;
more sophisticated tests; and
improved recordkeeping and information collection*
Most of the companies reporting organizational changes des ignated groups or individuals with environmental, health, and safety responsibilities. One company reported that it had set up its environmental, health, and safety group as an operating expense eenter with an annual budget. Another company estab lished a toxicology department and another reported that it had moved toxicological responsibilities to a more senior organi zation. The organizational changes reflect . the increasing responsibilities and importance of environmental, health, and safety functions.
Mew toxicity testing facilities or equipment were reported by seven companies. One of the companies indicated that it had constructed a multi-million dollar toxicity testing laboratory. Another company spent nearly one and a half million dollars on an addition to its lab for inhalation toxicological testing.
increased staffing for toxicological testing was reported . by 11 respondents. Cne company reported that it expanded its health staff from 5 . to 60 professionals. Another company reported that its full-time staff devoted to assessing toxi cological hazards increased from 4 to 25. A third company staffed a new lab with 39 employees.
23
AP00004609
Sew testing policies were instituted by 11 companies. The new policies covered new, existing end acquisition product testing? raw material testing? labeling; and government regula tory compliance.
Four companies reported that they test all new products. One of these companies reported that toxicity testing is "now part of new product development and is carried out at an early stage. Another company indicated that commercialization development costs Include testing costs.
Three companies reported that they have procedures in place
for testing existing products: two reported that they prior itize mature chemicals for testing and one reported that it con ducts annual reviews to identify chemicals for testing and pro poses annual chemical testing programs to each division.
Another company reported that it establishes the toxicity of all raw materials and examines products from acquisitions. Another company added intermediate and bulk chemical testing capabilities to test for safe environmental handling of these
chemicals.
Many companies cited examples of improved testing practices. Companies reported improvements in:
Cood laboratory practices (GLPs).
Companies
reported that they now adhere to GLPs. Those pre
viously following GLPs said that their GLPs are now
"formalized," "better defined," or "strengthened,
Protocols. protocols are now "updated," "more com
plex," "formalized," "more comprehensive," and
"better defined."
Several companies designed
internal testing protocols and one company "gained
facility in protocol selection."
. Quality control in testing. Examples of greater quality control Tn testing include auditing of testing, validation procedures for studies, review procedures for reports, quality assurance programs,-
and careful review of subcontracted work.
Many respondents also cited examples of increased numbers of tests as a major change in testing programs. Examples of
tests which are conducted more often are:
behavioral toxicology;
chemical fate;
chronic;
24
AP00004610
chronic and carcinogenic inhalation) corrosion;
environmental toxicity;
. fertility;
flash point;
-
genetic;
in vitro mutagenicity;
metabolic;
metals analysis;
molecular toxicology;
. oncogenic;
pharmacokinetic;
reproductive;
sub-chronic;
teratology; and wildlife.
One respondent indicated that it tests more specie*, more animals per species, and more samples of internal organs.
Another respondent said that its testing has "greatly expanded
from previous years" to the point where it now Is spending over $1.5 million on contracted and cooperative toxicity testing. Another company identified increasing regulatory requirements
and concern for produet liability as major reasons for con ducting considerably more tests.
Closely related to the increase in numbers of tests Is the conduct of more sophisticated tests. Testing state of the art
has advanced markedly; many current tests such as the Ames and cell transformation tests were not known in 1969. Companies reported that their current testing programs;
emphasise bio-medical aspects of testing;
use e tier-test approach to assess the toxicological hazards of chemicals;
25
AP00004611
I lm
. emphasize chronic, sub-chronic, ~ and reproductive testing as opposed to the earlier emphasis on simple acute testing;
use greater scientific depth;
emphasize long-term testing;
apply a greater breadth of tests;
use more extensive histopathology;
use more analytical chemiatry; and
apply more sophisticated analytical characterization,
Improved recordkeeping and Information collection was cited by s number oi respondents as an example of testing program improvements, Host of the companies cited use of computers as their improvement in recordkeeping, Respondents use computers for data collection, storage and search.
The kinds of data computerized are:
test documentation;
medical health and environmental data;
toxicity reports; industrial hygiene data; and
material safety data.
Companies also cited examples of recordkeeping improvements which did not involve computers. These companies:
established archives for all data;
expanded USDS coverage;
use MSPSs for all products; and
. established recordkeeping and reporting systems.
Two companies cited examples of improvements in information collection. One reported that it began monitoring worldwide literature; another reported increased interaction with regula tory agencies in the planning and reporting of studies.

II.C. TSCA Preroanufacture Notification cpmk) The impact of PMN nay be different depending on company
size and the products involved. The guestions below are designed to indicate the factors that affect 0.5 chemical com panies.
c.l so you have a procedure for determining that a PMN is required?
84 percent of the survey respondents have such a pro cedure.
C. 2 Save you declined to manufacture any new chemicals because of the time or cost of PMN compliance?
18 percent of the < survey respondents indicated that they have declined to manufacture due to pMNs. Ten companies gave explanations as to why they declined to manufacture new chemicals because of PMN compliance. These ten responses were: "[pmn compliance was] more costly/nore complex than market potential warranted.* . "Cost of PMN [was] too high to warrant filing in hope of generating unknown dollars worth of sales." "[The] number of specialty chemicals has been reduced to those products clearly demonstrating superior performance." . "PMNs [were] submitted (for] all new imported chemicals but (were] withdrawn due to costs of tests requested by EPA." "Toxicity costs twerej excessive for market volume." "cost not a factor. Research and marketing objec tives occasionally switch from a PMN candidate to a non-pMN candidate for commercial development because of apprehension over PMN delays."
27
AP00004613
"[We] have encountered at least seven instances where both tine and cost of PMN have deterred further work on a new substance#"
"Low volume materials cannot bear the expense or the time {of fmn compliance]#"
"planned production was based on an expressed
immediate need by the customer# The fmn approval
process precluded the immediate production of the
product#
consequently# consideration of its
production was dropped#"
"Zt [the new chemical] would have been a useful
addition to our product line but [potential sales] could not justify up-front toxicology expense."
Questions II.C.3 and II.C.4 ask how many pMKs a company submitted and how many of these pMN substances have been or are likely to be commercialized#

SECTION V. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL COSTS
This section will serve to update the estimated cost to the u.s. chemical industry of end-of-process pollution control. Please provide the following information for your U.s. chemical
business# defined as domestic sales plus domestic based exports of products in SIC code 28 (excluding 283). In cases where your pollution control facilities serve company activities beyond vour U. S. chemical business# answer~the following questions using appropriate estimates of the proportion dedicated to youF U.S. chemical business. One sour<te of information for this section may be submittals to the Census Bureau on Form MA-200.
For the purposes of the survey# pollution control facilities fall into three major categories] air# water# and solid waste. Use the following definitions of these pollutants to complete Section V.
Air pollutants are airborne substances including particulates (dust# fly ash# smoke)# sulfur oxides# nitrogen oxides# carbon monoxide# hydrocarbons# odors# fluorides# lead and other heavy metals# radioactive and toxic substances.
Water pollutants are waterborne substances including phosphate# nitrates Urites), substances that generate chemical or
biochemical oxygen demand, solids, acids# bases, heavy metals# radioactive and toxic substances# synthetic organic molecules# harmful microbes# oil# grease# dyes# and heat.
Solid waste includes garbage, trash, sewage sludge# dredged
spoil, incinerator residue# wrecked or discarded equipment, biological and chemical wastes# radioactive and other toxic materials. Include solid waste produced as a result of air and water pollutant abatement.
