Bill Carroll

Bill Carroll is an executive with Occidental Chemical and is the past president of the American Chemical Society. He is also a former executive with the Vinyl Institute, and defended the chemical industry in the film "Blue Vinyl."

Carroll has also attacked the reporting of Paul D. Thacker who was a reporter working at the American Chemical Society. Thacker had reported on a number of front groups such as the Save Our Species Alliance and Project Protect[1]. Thacker has also exposed attempts by the Weinberg Group to undermine the science on tobacco, pharmaceuticals and Teflon[2].

Carroll characterized Thacker's reporting as "anti-industry," "liberal," and "muckraking." In a letter, Thacker's editor attempted to defend the reporting, but Thacker was later fired from the American Chemical Society.
