Carbon tetrachloride is produced by exhaustive chlorination of a variety of low molecular weight hydrocarbons such as carbon disulfide, methanol, methane, propane, and ethylene dichloride (CEH 1985 lARC 1979). It is also produced by thermal chlorination in the production of tetrachloroethylene. Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of carbon tetrachloride in any product used in the home, its production initially declined at approximately 8% a year from 1974 to 1981 (HSDB 1992). From 1981 to 1988 the United States consistently produced between 573-761 million pounds (260,000-350,000 metric tons) of carbon tetrachloride per year (C EN 1992 SRI 1988 USITC 1986). Carbon tetrachloride production dropped to 413 million pounds (187,000 metric tons) per year in 1990, and to 315 million pounds (143,000 metric tons) in 1991 (C EN 1992, 1993 USITC 1986, 1991). Carbon tetrachloride is currently manufactured at five facilities in the United States Akzo Chemical, Inc., New York, New York Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan Vulcan Materials Company, Birmingham, Alabama Occidental Chemical Corporation, Dallas, Texas and LCP Chemicals, West Virginia Inc., Moundsville, West Virginia (USITC 1991 HSDB 1992). 

Inc., and Vulcan Materials Company. Total U.S. demand for the solvent in 1989 was 308,000 metric tons (680 million pounds) of which a small percentage was imported.
