In this study, a mathematical model is used to tie both direct and indirect industrial pollution generated by fluctuations of the entire economy to behavioral patterns of the consuming public. The model studies consumer behavior patterns from three viewpoints: income of family, age of head of family, and regional location of family within the United States. The methodology relates 126 final consumption industry groupings to 48 consumer item (product) groupings of the National Conference Board's taxonomy. The heart of the methodology employs the Resources for the Future's "National Pollution Model", basically an input-output plus residual technique. Findings focus on most polluting industries, and the pollution associated characteristics of sub-groups of the U.S. population. (Author/BB)
