* Split: if 50% appears in this column, then the facility's emissions have been split among two 50/50% ownership parent companies.
** This facility's emissions are nonlocal -- released in a widespread area. So it is not meaningful to look at the characteristics of the population living within 10 miles of the facility address for copollutant effects.
