LAST INSTALLMENT OF CHEMTURA"S CHEMICAL USEAGE



This is the fourth and last having exhausted the list of chemical compounds in Table B.1 of Chemtura (Elmira) 2012 Annual Environmental Report. Keep in mind this complete list of chemicals are not in use every day/every week etc.. Their production is done in batches and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if some of these chemicals were only used a couple of times a year. The point of these postings is to give the municipalities and their citizens a reference point as to what could be going through their backyards/frontyards by rail or by truck. To date our authorities; whether rail, municipal, regional or provincial have been far less than forthcoming with this information.
