Dear Dr. Bennett:
In your February letter accompanying the ASL registry, you asked for assistance in obtaining information on possible other chemical exposures in VCM/PVC plants. This request was forwarded to our Geon Vinyl Division.
Attached are the results from four locations: two Canadian and two U.S. Replies were not received from Long Beach (Watson?), CA; Pedricktown, NJ; Plaquemine, LA; Deer Park, TX; or Henry, IL.
The Louisville Plant did not complete the form, but did supply information on the chemicals of interest arranged by year and the building in which they were used. I am sure Dr. Tamburro is familiar with the layout and can arrange this information appropriately.
I have been unable to identify a Watson, California and, I believe. Long Beach has been the only BFG plant in California to make PVC; I can provide nothing further on how Watson came to be listed as a BFG location. As I indicated earlier Long Beach no longer polymerizes VC.
I hope the attached information is useful to you.
I have received the paper by Sir Richard Doll and found it quite interesting. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Health and Environmental Services
