Curtiss-Wright: 1-Bromopropane-led volume
Among the 1,603 Transportation Equipment facilities in this database, Curtiss-Wright reports the 287th-largest volume, placing it in the top 17.9% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: 1-Bromopropane alone is 95.1% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 95.1% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside North Carolina include Custom Fibreglass Manufacturing Co and Twin Vee Powercats.
Concentrated means ≥60% of Curtiss-Wright's pounds in one chemical - here 1-Bromopropane at 95.1%. Not a toxicity score.
