Environmental considerations also were reflected in coal production and consumption statistics, including regional production patterns and economic sector utilization characteristics. Average coal sulfur content, as produced, declined from 2.3% in 1973 to 1.6% in 1980 and 1.3% in 1990. Coal ash content declined similarly, from 13.1% in 1973 to 11.1% in 1980 and 9.9% in 1990. These numbers clearly reflect a trend toward utilization of coal that produces less SO2 and less flyash to capture. Emissions from coal in the 1990s were 14 x 10 t /yr of SO2 and 450 x 10 t /yr of particulates generated by coal combustion at electric utiUties. The total coal combustion emissions from all sources were only slightly higher than the emissions from electric utiUty coal utilization (6).

Production and consumption statistics for sucrose are shown ia Table 1. World production of sucrose dufing 1993—1994 was - 110 million metric tons, of which - 64% was derived from sugarcane. The largest producer is the European Union (EU), followed closely by India and Bra2il. In 1993—1994, the United States ranked fourth in production. World raw sugar prices from 1990—1995 ranged from 20.20—32. l0/kg (10).

Once again I should acknowledge that I have drawn heavily from the journals European Plastics News, Kunstojfe, Modern Plastics International and Plastics and Rubber Weekly for data on production and consumption statistics. 

One study has reported effects on neurobehavioral function in lead-exposed workers at mean PbB levels of 50 pg/dL (Williamson and Teo 1986). Neurobehavioral function was measured using tests that are based on information processing theory in 59 lead workers and 59 controls matched for age, type of job, time on the job, education level, smoking history, and alcohol consumption. Statistically significant decreases in the lead-exposed workers were seen for critical flicker fusion reaction, simple reaction time, tracking speeds, hand steadiness tests, and sensory store memory. Sensory store memory speed showed a low but statistically significant correlation with PbB concentrations. Measurements of neurobehavioral function seemed well chosen, and repeated measures with associated appropriate statistics were used.

It is recommended that food analyses be based on the determination of radionuclides in individual food items rather than a mixed diet sample. Only the analysis of individual foodstuffs can indicate whether and which countermeasures should be taken to reduce doses. Food sampling for estimation of total consumption should be carried out at the retail level when appropriate otherwise, it should be carried out at the consumption level. The selection of foods to be sampled can be based on individual diet or food consumption statistics. Analyses of individual foodstuffs should preferably be performed after preparation, taking into account the effect of kitchen activities such as washing, cleaning and cooking. 

A third diet sampling procedure is based on analysis of representative food items purchased locally and on food consumption statistics. The intake estimates are then calculated by multiplying the concentration estimate of each food by the respective consumption estimates per day or per year. This approach is used by EML in Sr in the diet program (Klusek, 1984), Argonne s Cs in the Chicago Foods Program (Karttunen, 1982), and the FDA s Total Diet Studies Program (Stroube and Jelinek, 1985). 

The advantage of this method is that the analysis of a number of foods or food groups gives more information than the analysis of a single composite diet sample. It is also useful in indicating the primary sources of intake for a particular contaminant. However, the intake estimates are limited by the accuracy of the consumption statistics. A summary of estimates is presented in Kramer et al. (1973).

The textile industry is characterized by a host of journals that are marginal in the sense that they contain a little bit of everything. For example, Modern Textiles Magazine (46) y formerly known as Rayon and Synthetic Textiles usually contains some articles on fairly fundamental research in man-made fibers or textiles. Besides this, the journal contains at various times articles for mill operating personnel, articles on dyeing, production and consumption statistics, articles on new equipment, yarn prices, and similar material that could be of interest to almost anyone in the industry. 

The most valuable source of price, production, and consumption statistics is Textile Organon 101, This periodical has published a valuable cumulative volume of textile statistics running through 1950. It also publishes an annual directory of man-made fiber producers, which describes fiber types from producers throughout the world and defines the trade-marks for synthetic fiber types. 

Another need is to develop comprehensive information on the situation in the Council of Europe member states standards, policies, production, trade and consumption statistics. The amount of money currently available for research in organic farming does not correspond to the envisaged importance of organic farming and the processing of organic products. 

For sulphur dioxide, the survey has been worked out in co-operation with the participating countries. For countries which have only been able to provide information on the total emissions for different industrial sectors, the survey was based on national fuel consumption statistics from OECD and ECE sources, emission factors, and population densities. For some countries the accuracy is within 10-15% in other cases the data are less accurate. The major emission areas are, however, sufficiently well defined for model calculations (JO).
