Southern Resin: how the 1.4K lbs splits
1.4K lbs across all reported pathways
- Air Releases 1.4K lbs 100.0%
Southern Resin's 1.4K lbs Form-R total is AIR - air releases is 100.0% of the bar. Off-site transfers stay separate from air, water, and land releases. Leading chemical by pounds: Vinyl acetate.
Carcinogen-classified pounds vs other reported pounds
Same cumulative TRI total as above, split by EPA/IARC carcinogen classification on each chemical: pounds share, not chemical count. Classification is not a site health-risk score.

Southern Resin: Vinyl acetate-led volume
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Southern Resin reports the 2,736th-largest volume (1.4K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Vinyl acetate alone is 76.9% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up more than 99.9% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside North Carolina include Spartech LLC and Roche Molecular Systems Inc.
Concentrated means ≥60% of Southern Resin's pounds in one chemical - here Vinyl acetate at 76.9%. Not a toxicity score.
