The Enviromnental Protection Agency has proposed rules that would provide the public with the right to use Federal administrative machinery to challenge the goverment's pesticide decisions and give the public the right to trigger further administrative review of pesticide decisions by EPA which they might regard as unfavorable or potentially harmful to hmnan health or the enviroment. New rules would also give the public nor-e rights in dealing with'scientific advisory committees in that such conmittees would be required to solicit scientific data from public interest groups. Any person would have the right to submit Garments on any advisory conn?t'tee report. Television and radio coverage of Federal pesticide hearings would be permitted.

No such grouse of conponmds are biphenyls) and chlorinated napthalenes. 0f the two classes of compounds, (polydilorinated biphenyls) have received the most publicity both in technical and popular journals. Widespread headlines were generated earlier this year when 50,000 turkeys in Hinnesota, as many as 88,000 chickens in North Carolina, and tens of thousands . of eggs at various locations were destroyed after they were found to be contamin- ated with biphenyls (PCB's). Similar headlines have accompanied . other findings that indicate that PCB's are extensivcly distributed in the en- vironment. have been noun for nearly a century, and have been used extensively since the 1930's. Gmically, PCB is a. generic term covering a family of partially wholly chlorinated isomers of biphenyl; camercial PCB's (102? to 60% chlorine) may contain as many as 50 different detectable isomers. In the United States, the sole manufacturer is the rbnsanto Company which markets the products under the trade name Arochlor. The are distinguished by a four digit number, the last two of which represent the percentage of chlorine in the mixture, i.e. Arochlor 12516. PCB's are also manufacth in Japan, Europe, and the U.S.S.R. PCB is a colorless, highly viscous fluid that can withstand temperatures up to 650? without degradation, does not conduct electricity, and is resistant to fire. Such properties make PCB an ideal fluid for heat exchangers and elecwical such as mansfomrs. These properties also make the more highly chlorinated PCB's very resistant to degradation in the environment, so that their persistence is similar to that of 001?. Since 1960, Monsanto has made some 353,000 tons of PCB, with output reaching a maxinun of ?2,500 tons in 1970 (cam, me. 6, page 15). About 60% of- that output has been for closed-system uses and of the remainder has been either recycled or safely destroyed. Nonetheless, a certain amunt has apparently been allowed to enter the environment, where contamimtim cmtinues to be detected. PCB's uses include: 1. coolant - insulation fluids in transformers 2. fonmlatim into ballast for fluorescent fixtures . 3. of cotton and asbestos for braided insulation of . electrical ?ring; H. a plasticizer in- wire and cable coatings 5. capacitors and askarel?type transformers 6. plasticizers of vinyl chloride polymer films in high presmzre hydraulic fluids, specialized lubricants and gasket sealers, heat transfer agents and machine tool mtting oils 8. some epoxy paints - 9. protective coating for mod, natal and concrete . 10. in some adhesives ll. carbonless reproducing paper NEV 021604' . o. 7 - 729659 import, manufacture, and sale of compounds (PCB). .Q -3- PCB Contaminatim PCB's have been detected in environmental samples including rainwater in England, waters in the Great Lakes, water and the ocean, hm hair, human adipose tissue, shrimp in Florida, adelie penguin eggs in, the Antarctica and brown pelican eggs in Panama. More recent research has shown I as indicated, in an earlier paragraph, contamination in poultrvand eyes as the result of accidental leakage into feed. Contamination of srlape and sub- .sequently cows and milk has resulted from use of PCB as an ingredient in the sealer coating of some silos in Ohio and afterwards and {:ew York. In November Dr. George R. Harvey of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution re- vealed that PCB at levels ranging from 1 to 100 p.p.b. have been found in nearlv all animl and plant Species from the Atlantic Ocean. Levels as high as 1.5 p.p.m. were found in zooplankton but cor'IeSponding PCB levels were not found in fish that feed 'on the woplankton. - . Also in November, Rep. Gilbert Gude disclosedt?nat the Maryland Department of Natural Resources has found PCB at levels as high as 0.2 in soft-shelled clams taken from the Chesapeake Bay. This level is, well below the Food and Drug Adninistration's guideline of 5 p.p.m. PCB in fish and poultry. The Food and Drug Association found PCB in some dried foods (shredded wheat, corn meal, spaghetti dinner, grits, mixed baby cereal, noodle dinner, and pancake mix, ranging from 0.1 to 2.1 originating from leaking from the cardboard containers which were made with recycled paper. The problem was eliminated and TBA considered no crisis was encountered. In the particular situation related to PCB contamination of eggs and chicken tissues the source of trouble was traced to a fish meal ingredient sold by a Wilmington, N. C. firm. - Fluid containing PCB dripped directly.an a heat exchanger into the fish meal which subsequently was used in formulating'diicken feed. The mill closed voluntarily when the accident was discovered and a trace on the formulated feed helped to prevent a widesoread contamination problem. As it was, 12 southeastern states we're affected with one commercial poultrv producer -required to destroy 77,000 chickens and twa lots containing 76,500 eggs seized by FDA. Other lots of eggs (27 out of 610 analyzed contained fron 0.6 to 1.9 p.p.m. PCB whereas the FDA acceptable level is 0.5 were voluntari-lv'withdrawn from the market. Investigation by FDA reported July 30, 1971, showed that any PCB contained in representative sanples of slaughtered broilers from the affected areas were within the acceptable levels and that most of the oontandnation was concentrated in a relatively few lots of feed. PCB Banning Proposed Sweden's national environmental protection board has proposed a ban on Sweden claims PCB is persistent and toxic, particularly to aquatic life in the Baltic Sea where there's been a buildup. The proposed ban excludes use of PCB in sealed electrical apparatus, such as 'Ihe aedish government in early April 1971 was considering the restriction, which could beccme effective by Jan. 1, 1972. The main problem with PG arise from its use in such products as paints and sealantar - . . . NEV 021605 729660 -M- Rep. William Ryan (D.-N.Y.) has introduced a bill that would mam- feature, shipment, and sale of biphenyls (PCB's) pending a full investigation of their effect on the envirmxent. The bill would also.permnent1y . restrict their use to closed systems where they cannot affect the public health. Monsanto, the only domestic producer of says it has already taken steps to restrict their use and that is is "impractical to legislate what has already been accomplished." Biological Cause-Effect Relationships (Taken from E'News, Dec. 13, 1971) The November 1971 issue of Natural History magazine described a three- year study of birth defects among terns on Great 9411 Island in long Island Sound. The authors, Helen Hays of the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, and Dr. Robert w. Risebrough of the Lhiversity of California's . Bodega Harine Laboratory, Bodega Bay, say they found birds with no flight feathers, with twisted mandibles, with stunted amenities, and one Specimen with four legs that survived for 3 days. The two workers attribute the high incidence of deformities to pollution in the sound. . Ir. Risebmgh says the median concentration of the pesticide DDE in the flesh of all terns was 2.1 p.p.m. - about the same level found in other wild birds, and sufficient to account for the observed thinning of eggshells. The concentration of PCB in the flesh of the birds, however, ranged from 5 p.p.m. to 175 p.p.m. Daspite these high levels, he points out, no cause-effect relationship between PCB levels and birth defects has been established for terns, or other birds and animals. - Laboratory tests in the Netherlands, lb. Risebrough notes, have shown that fertile chicken eggs injected with chlorinated dibenzofurans, ,a PCB con- taminant, produce similarly deformed chicks. Monsanto, however, says that . U.S.-made PCB's do not contain that contaminant. 05pmvs. Dr. Risebrou ,h in collaboration with Paul R. Spitzer of Cornell Universin'di?Eclosed in Hover that the ospreys examined in long Island Sound may be sore cmtaminated than? any other wildlife in North America. They found that lipids of both viable and overdue osprey eggs .obtained from the shore of the sound have PCB levels varying from 5H5 to 2270 p.p.m. Another Cornell worker, Dr. David B. Peakall, has found strong evidence of duomsanal damage in ring doves fed food containing 10 p.p.m. PCB. His preliminary results, sent to the Environmental Protecticn Agency in September, indicate that all hatchings from the first generation of birds were normal. When the hatched doves were mated, however, only 20% of the embryos survived. Dr. Peakall is continuing his work in an effort to find why the damage is manifested only in the third generation. neanwhile, continues to stand firm behind its omtention that there is no "scientific data that indicate biphenyls may cause birth defects." A con-parry spokesman indicates that Monsanto has spmsored several feeding tests and a tomtogcnicity study all of which indicate only minimal effects PCB's. Rats fed food containing 100 p.p.m. PCB, for sample, showed only increased liver weights after 18 months. Dogs fed a similar diet exhibited a tendency not to gain weight as well as expected. lawyer, NEV 021606 729661 -5- observed to exhibit loss of weight, thinning of eggshells, and decreased hatchability of eggs, although no embryonic deformities were observed. Clearly the PCB file isn't closed. Monsanto's withdrawal of PCB from the market for uses where end products can": be controlled will reduce the mount of PCB entering the environment. But until a cause-effect relationship between PCB's and birth defects can definitely be proved or disproved, controversy will surround any use of PCB at all. - Task Force to Investigate PCB Contamination (C 8 News, Sept. 13, 1971) An interdepartmental task force has been set up in the Federal Government to coordinate a govemrent-wide. investigation into contamination by (PCB) of food and other products. The action, according to the Food and Drug Administration, is aimed at ensuring effective coordination of government response to Specific and prevent-?- able PCB contamination and at developing long-range strategy for coordinating scientific resources to better define the PCB problem and its poSSible implica- tions for huran health." FDA save that on the basis of current scientific knqudge, there is no imninent threat to the safety of food or to public health from 'Ihe PCB task force, which will be coordinated through the Office of Science and TechnOIOgy and the Council on Enviromental Quality, includes representatives from the Dwiromental Protection Agency, FDA, National Institute of Enviromental Health Sciences, and Agriculture Department. It was set up at arresting on Sept. 1, called by FDA to share information gathered by FDA and USDA on PCB's. The . agencies havebeen conducting followup investigations of "industrial incidents," which FDA says have resulted in low-level PCB adulteration of some food products. An FDA spokesman says that information from the industrial accidents coupled with information gleaned from other investigations "indicated to us that there might be a potential problem that would require more than FDA involvenent." He adds that .the first chore of the PCB task force will be to check segments of Government and industry to find out what's known about PCB's. - l?onsanto, the only domestic producer of PCB's, says that the Goverment's task force approach to the PCB environmental issue is "most appropriate" and that "the conpany stands ready to continue its support of and cooperation with these agencies. At the same time, a many spokesman says, "we believe our three- year-old prom to control uses and escape of PCB is correct and that it will supplementthe agency's effort." He adds that the comanv's mom to control usage includes selling only for use in closed systems. . - Public Health - ?g Threat fron PCB's (C. 6 News, Oct. 1971) -'1?he Goverment, basing its judgment on current himledge, sees no inmimM: threat to the safety of the food supply or to the public health from polvchIOrin- ated biphenyls (PCB). Dr. Charles C. Edwards, spokesman for FDA. believes that the confusion over the danger from is being oonpounded by alarmists and "unbalanced reporting." .0 NEV 02 1607 729662 -6- . According to Dr. Edwards, the Government and industry have been actively eliminating. potential and actual PCB contamination of the food supply since 1966. In spite of these efforts there have been some isolated instances of food - contaminatim. On behalf of FDA, Dr. Edwards rejects the idea that crisis headlines and demands for national health alerts are either justified or needed to meet the present situation. He observes that science does not support such actions and that PM will continue to abide by the dictates of science in making regulatory judgments on behalf of, the consumer. In. sumarizing its actions on the PCB problem, FDA applauds the co.- . operation of industry. Specifically, Monsanto, the primary domestic producer of PCB's, is now selling PCB's onlyfor nonfood uses. National Cash Register Co. has also stopped using PCB's for its carbonless carbon paper. The paper has been withdrawn from the production of recycled packaging materials. Except for isolated incidents involvingfish, FPA almost all of the high levels of PCB's found to date have been associated with accidents which FDA is workingto prevent. has also stepped up its surveillance of the food supply to detect PCB's. and has entered into a coordinated goverwnent effort under the direction of the Office of Science andTeclmology and the Council on . _anironmental- Quality to deal with the problem. - Dr. Albert C. Kelbye, deputy director of FDA's Bureau of Foods, classi- fies PCB's as moderately toxic, and certainly mach less. toxic than-DDT. He "observes that animal and hwran data point to 150 to 300 micrograms per day as - being in the safe range as far as temporary dietary intake is concerned. Accord- ing? to Dr. Kelbye FDA is not aware of any foods contaminated on a regular or consistent basis. . i - PCB's flay}: Corm'on Hmans. biphenyls (PCB's) ham to be widespread in fish and 'wildfowl, appear to be conmon in humans also, says, Dr'. Anne R. Yobs of the Environmental Protection Agency. She told _a federallv socmored meeting on PCB's in December that an EPA analysis of 59?..an tissue sanoles collected from 38 hospitals in 17 states revealed that 33.6% of the samles contained greater than 1 p.p.m. PCB and another 30.1% 00an detectable quantities of PCB. Dr. Harold A. Price of the Michigan department of public health told the ?eeting he found that more than 111% of 80 human adipose tissue samples collected in Michigan contain nore than 1 p.p.m. PCB. - . . .. But' Levels Decline Elsewhere PCB levels in two Green Bay tributaries meanwhile have'dropped sharply over the past year, Says University of Wisconsin water chemist Gilmn D. Veith. He notes that levels in Peshtigp and 0conto river waters dropped from 0.31 and 03:5 p.p.b. respectively in November 1970 to less than 0.01 p.p.b. last smarter." Dr. Veith believes that the decline is probably a direct result of - Monsanto Co.'s restrictions on sales of PCB's. He adds, hwever, that waters of the Fox river, which flows through the city of Green Bay, have not yet shown a similar decline in PCB levels. . . a NEV 021608 729663 MONDAY Monsanto Company . . Monsanto's PCB Called Major Pollution Threat ST. LOUIS GLOBE DEMOCRAT PAGE 1 SAT.-SUN., APRIL 11-12 By RICHARD S. KRANTZ GiobeDemocrst Staff Writer A chemical substance manu- factured near St. Louis by Mon- santo was described by a US. Congressman Fridayasa th'rcat to the environment per- haps as great as DD . The substance is called PCB. and is said to be threatening the reproduction of birds. It is also suspected of being harmful to human beings and animals. 'lhe threat of PCB was out- lined by Congressman William F. Ryan (Dem) of New York. during a press conference he held inNew York City. "1 am calling for immediate action to prevent what may be a major ecological disaster." said Ryan. HE ASKED for federal au- thorities to set limits on PCB in food products. and to ban It en- tirely from pesticides. Monsanto officials responded in a prepared statement that they are"well aware of the con- cern" over PCB. They noted steps have been taken to strict. ly control its use and to replace harmful grades of PCB that lin- ger in nature. PCB stands for hated biphenyl" which is used as a "plasticizer" in a wide va- riety of products. Monsanto is the only manufacturer in the United States. at plants in the St. Louis and in Anniston. Ala.. according to a mm spokesman. The plant producing it here is the Krummrich facility.at Ssuget, ill.. only a few miles southeast of downtown St. I. Ryan called for Monsanto to state whether any of the sub- stance is released to the envi- ronment during manufacturing. A spokesman here said the firm does not know if any PCB is released into the environment from the Plant. The spokesman cited stcong measures being taken by the? Monsanto to control pollution?at its East Side facility. Ryan said research indicates that PCB can .have "a disas- trous effect on human beings." "If inhaled. PCB can cause nausea, rapid breathing, lass of weight and a lowered red blood cell count." said Ryan. ?More serious results are the deterioration of the it i jaundice and atr0phy of the li er. in sufficient quantities. PC can cause death." said Ryan. "The incredible thing about the PCB menace is that its el- iects on man and animal have long been documented by chem- and biologists,? he said. Ryan attributed much of the research on it to Environment Magazine. hi i in St. Louis by the Committee for En- vironmental information. NEV '021610 RYAN SAID the Food and Drug Administration should re- i all products containing PCB to be labeled. and asked Monsanto to cooperate with fed- eral authorities to determine the threat of PCB. The trade name used by Mon- santo for its product is "Arcolor." Although Ryan said that the product is used for many house- hold items. Monsanto said it is not a household product. on a to said it is used mainly in electrical where the chemical performs as an insulating fluid. "We have and will continue to cooperate fully with govern- ment agencies investigating this problem." Monsanto said in its prepared statement. THE FIRM noted that alter- mite od will be intro- duced later this year for the grades of PCB which degrade slowly. in a related development. Dr. Robert Risehrounh. of the Uni- 7 versin of California. Berkeley. said the has found its way into fish, sen hirds. human fat and human Mothers' milk.
