PAPAGEORGE, P.E., 11 of lawful age, being produced, sworn and examined on the 12 part of the Defendant Rockwell International Corporation, 13 deposes and says: 14 DIRECT EXAMINATION 15 QUESTIONS BY MR. GOEBEL: 16 Q. This is Tony Goebel. I'm going to go ahead 17 and start the questioning, and then I don't know who will 18 go next, but if there are objections, I guess we can agree 19 that we'll just make sure that the witness doesn't 20 interrupt, because on the speaker phone, there might be a 21 little time lag in there, so -- so, Mr. Papageorge, you 22 might give us a little bit of time before to see if there 23 is an objection. 24 A. I'll try to do that. 25 Q. Okay.
5
WATER PCB-SD0000058587
1 A. I don't mind being reminded if I don't. 2 Q. All right. 3 A. Can you hear me all right? 4 Q. Yes. We can. 5 A. Good. 6 Q. I suppose you can hear us okay? 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. Would you state your full name, please? 9 A. William B. Papageorge. 10 Q. And what is your current address? 11 A. 321 Pebble Valley Drive, St. Louis, Missouri
12 63141.
13 Q. Would you briefly tell us your educational 14 background, Mr. Papageorge? 15 A. I received abachelorof science in chemical 16 engineering degree in 1943 and a master of science in 17 chemical engineering in 1947 from Washington University in 18 St. Louis. In addition to that, I had earned 12 credits 19 toward a doctor of science degree at Oklahoma A & M, 20 currently known as Oklahoma State University. 21 Q. Over the years, have you attended seminars
22 relating to your field of study?
23 A. Yes. 24 Q. And would yougenerally tell ushow many 25 seminars you attended, if you can?
6
WATER PCB-SD0000058588
1 A. Oh, I -- I have never kept a score sheet on 2 them. There were many. And when you say my field of 3 study -4 Q. Engineering, chemical engineering. 5 A. Chemical engineering. Because many of these 6 seminars really became business-oriented types of 7 seminars. As best I can recall, I would suggest that 8 maybe a half a dozen seminars relating to chemical 9 engineering. 10 Q. And you said that you attended other seminars 11 related to the business in which you have worked. What
12 kinds of seminars were those and how many did you attend?
13 A. Oh, I -- I attended sessions at Washington 14 University at their school of business administration in 15 the 19 -- early 1960s. I attended seminars at the 16 American Management Association in New York City in the 17 middle to late 1960s. There were others that, at the 18 moment, don't come to mind here. 19 Q. Have you ever taught any seminars? 20 A. I have taught seminars -- I hope we have the
21 same definition of seminars. I have taught seminars 22 within Monsanto --
23 Q. All right. 24 A. -- Company. 25 Q. Let's get into your work experience. After
7
WATER PCB-SD0000058589
1 you obtained your master's in chemistry degree, what was 2 the first employment that you had? 3 A. I was employed by the Phillips Petroleum 4 Company in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. 5 Q. And for how long did you work there? 6 A. From 1947 to 1951. 7 Q. What did you do for Phillips Petroleum? 8 A. I initially worked in Phillips Petroleum's 9 research department, working with drilling fluids and 10 secondary petroleum recovery. That assignment lasted for 11 about two years, and then I was assigned to the refining 12 department where I did engineering work relating to 13 equipment used by the petroleum industry in separating the 14 different petroleum fractions or materials. 15 Q. All right. What kinds of -- you mentioned 16 that you had worked with drilling fluids in the research 17 department. What kinds of fluids were those? 18 A. I don't know how to describe it. They were 19 mixtures of clays with various additives that are used 20 during the oil well drilling process to lubricate the bit
21 and to carry the cuttings back up to the surface, 22 resulting in a clean hole.
23 Q. All right. In 1951, you changed employers? 24 A. I did. 25 Q. Where did you go to work then?
8
WATER PCB-SD0000058590
1 A. I joined the Monsanto Chemical Company. 2 Q. And what was the first job position you had 3 with Monsanto? 4 A. I was assigned as a design engineer in the 5 plant's engineering or technical department. 6 Q. What were your responsibilities in the design 7 engineering department? 8 A. To specify the equipment required to produce 9 a product at the plant. This included pumps and tanks and 10 distillation columns, instruments and the like. 11 Q. Would you tell the jury a little bit about
12 the Monsanto Chemical Company, and I would ask you to
13 limit your question to its involvement of the manufacture 14 of PCBs or polychlorinated biphenyls? 15 A. Well, Monsanto, in 1935, acquired the Swan 16 Chemical Company, and at the Anniston, Alabama plant of 17 that company PCBs were manufactured, and this was 18 Monsanto's first involvement with PCBs. Within a year or 19 two, the plant in Sauget, Illinois, S-a-u-g-e-t, was 20 designated as the second plant within Monsanto to produce 21 PCBs. As best I recall, shortly after World War II, an 22 additional plant was constructed in the United Kingdom at 23 Newport, Wales. In late 1969, Monsanto, in a joint 24 venture with Mitsubishi Chemical Company, built a plant in 25 Japan. Does that help?
9
WATER PCB-SD0000058591
1 Q. Yes. It does. 2 A. All right. 3 Q. What kinds of --when you sayMonsanto 4 manufactured PCBs, what kinds of products did - 5 eventually that Monsanto produced were PCBs put into and 6 what were their uses? 7 A. The PCBs were used in mixtures of materials 8 that resulted in fluids used in electrical equipment such 9 as transformers, capacitors and starting equipment. The 19 PCBs were also used as an ingredient in fluids used in 11 hydraulic systems, industrial hydraulic systems as 12 distinguished from automotive hydraulic systems. PCBs 13 were also an ingredient in fluids used in industrial heat 14 transfer systems. They were also an ingredient in fluids 15 used in vacuum systems. The PCBs were used as additives 16 in such things as paints and coatings, caulking materials, 17 adhesives, inks, carbonless copy paper. I believe I've 18 covered all of the uses that come to mind at the moment. 19 Q. Was Monsanto the only manufacturer of PCBs in 20 the United States after 1935?
21 A. It's hard to prove one way or the other that 22 Monsanto was the only or the major. There is some
23 indication that other companies attempted and did make 24 some PCBs through the 40 or so years that PCBs were 25 manufactured. I personally would suggest that the best
10
WATER PCB-SD0000058592
1 word to use describing Monsanto's production is to suggest 2 that it's a very high, 90 plus percent. 3 Q. All right. We've talked about PCBs. What 4 are PCBs and why would they be desirable for use in like a 5 hydraulic fluid? 6 A. PCBs are the -- let me back -- let me start 7 over again. The acronym PCBs is really used to describe 8 the chemical family called polychlorinated biphenyls. 9 These are materials that are made from benzene and 10 chlorine. They number over 200 different members of that 11 family of chemicals. The materials sold for industrial
12 purposes always consisted of various mixtures of these 200
13 or so different chemical entities. The attractive feature 14 that PCBs had, and still have, they are very stable 15 chemicals that offer the highly desirable characteristic 16 of being fire resistant. So, relating to the use in 17 hydraulic fluids, the benefit is one of being able to have 18 a fluid under a high pressure in a situation where fires 19 can and do result, that the fluid, if it should ever 20 escape, would not ignite. 21 Q. Was there -- at the time PCBs were used in 22 hydraulic fluids, was there any better formulation to - 23 that would resist fire than PCB-containing fluids that you 24 know of? 25 A. I don't personally know of any better
11
WATER PCB-SD0000058593
1 formulation as it relates to the properties of the 2 material, including lubricity, stability, fire resistance, 3 these kinds of things. 4 Q. In our case we've had the term "Aroclor" come 5 up. What is the relationship between Aroclors and PCBs? 6 A. Aroclor, that's capital A-r-o-c-l-o-r, is 7 Monsanto's trademark for some of their products. Included 8 in that trademark were the PCBs that were sold as PCBs 9 without any other additives. 10 Q. And then different Aroclors could have been 11 contained in different formulations of PCB-containing 12 hydraulic fluids; is that right? 13 A. That is correct. 14 Q. Let me get back to your work experience with 15 Monsanto Company or Chemical Company. You've told us 16 about being in the design engineering department. How 17 long did you stay there? 18 A. A couple years. 19 Q. And then what was your -- did you continue to 20 stay with Monsanto Company after that? 21 A. Yes. 22 Q. What was your new position? 23 A. Following the engineering assignment, I was 24 assigned as a -- at first as an assistant supervisor and 25 finally as a supervisor in two units of the plant that
12
WATER PCB-SD0000058594
1 produced chemicals. 2 Q. And in what year did you make a move to a 3 plant? 4 A. Well, from the very beginning, the -- for 5 example, the engineering department that I joined was a 6 part of a Monsanto plant, so I moved really from the 7 engineering department into the production department. 8 Q. In which plant was the design engineering 9 department located? 10 A. It's the Monsanto plant located in St. Louis 11 referred to by Monsanto as the J.F. Queeny Plant. 12 Q. And how long were you at the J.F. Queeny 13 Plant? 14 A. Until 1964. 15 Q. And then you were transferred to another 16 plant? 17 A. I was. 18 Q. Which plant is that? 19 A. I was transferred to the Sauget, Illinois 20 plant. 21 Q. And that, from your earlier testimony, is one 22 of the plants that produced products which contained PCBs? 23 A. That is correct. 24 Q. What was your position at the Sauget, 25 Illinois plant?
13
WATER PCB-SD0000058595
1 A. I was one of five or six general 2 superintendents of production. 3 Q. And what were your responsibilities as a 4 general superintendent of production? 5 A. I was assigned several operating units that 6 produced, as best I remember, something like 20 or so 7 different chemical products. 8 Q. And did those chemical products contain PCBs? 9 A. No. 10 Q. So, when youwere at the Sauget, Illinois 11 plant, you didn't work with any products that contained 12 PCBs; is that right? 13 A. I hesitate because in producing the products 14 assigned to me, some of the units used PCBs in their 15 systems such as their air compressors or their heat 16 transfer systems or the transformers, so PCBs were 17 involved but not as a product. 18 Q. Is that when you firstbecame familiar with 19 PCBs and their use? 20 A. No.
21 Q. When did you first become familiar with PCBs? 22 A. About 1956 or so.
23 Q. And that was when youwere in the design 24 engineering department? 25 A. No. That's when I was assigned to the plant
14
WATER PCB-SD0000058596
1 maintenance and construction department. 2 Q. And in what sense did you become familiar 3 with PCBs in 1956? 4 A. I was a supervisor of a team of craftsmen who 5 were involved in the installation of new equipment, not 6 under -- not with major projects, but with small projects 7 throughout the plant, and in supervising that work force, 8 I had to become familiar with the materials they might be 9 involved with, and when this group would install, say, a 10 transformer or replace a pump in a heat transfer system or 11 install a compressor and fill it with hydraulic fluid,
12 that's when they became involved with PCB-containing
13 fluids. 14 Q. Between 1956 and during the time you were at 15 the Sauget, Illinois plant, what other experiences did you 16 have with PCBs or PCB-containing fluids? 17 A. The involvement with PCBs and employees 18 broadened when I was appointed superintendent of the 19 maintenance department in about 1958 or so. This included 20 not only that small new construction work force but all of 21 the plant's craftsmen, which numbered about 400 or so, 22 involved in many ways with PCB-containing materials. In 23 1963, I was assigned as general superintendent of 24 warehousing distribution and utilities. During that 25 assignment, I was involved with PCBs in at least two ways,
15
WATER PCB-SD0000058597
1 one as a shipper of the material from the warehouse or the 2 tank farms, the other was as the use of PCBs in the 3 utilities department which was involved with the 4 distribution of electrical power in the plant. I think 5 that brings me up to the assignment at the Sauget, 6 Illinois plant. 7 Q. Did you leave the Sauget, Illinois plant 8 after 1965? 9 A. I did. 10 Q. In what year? 11 A. 1965. I forget the exact month, but -12 Q. And where were you transferred to? 13 A. I was transferred to Anniston, Alabama, at 14 Monsanto's plant located there. 15 Q. You told us earlier that that plant also 16 manufactured PCB-containing fluids -- 17 A. That is correct. 18 Q. -- or products containing PCBs? 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. What was your position at the Anniston,
21 Alabama plant? 22 A. I was plant manager.
23 Q. And as plant manager, what were your 24 responsibilities? 25 A. I guess I was best described -- I was
16
WATER PCB-SD0000058598
1 responsible for everything that happened at the plant or 2 to the plant. 3 Q. What products did Monsanto manufacture at 4 Anniston, Alabama? 5 A. Of course, we had the PCBs. There was also a 6 group of chemicals referred to as polychlorinated 7 terphenyls, t-e-r-p-h-e-n-y-l-s, biphenyl, chlorine, 8 hydrochloric acid, phosphorus pentasulfide and an 9 insecticide we called Parathion, P-a-r-a-t-h-i-o-n, and 10 another pesticide we called Niran, N-i-r-a-n. 11 Q. Did you use different Aroclors in the 12 manufacture of these products you just mentioned? 13 A. These two, the pesticides? 14 Q. No. All of them. Well, I guess it would be 15 in the polychlorinated biphenyl products that you would 16 have used several different kinds of Aroclors; is that 17 right? 18 A. That is correct. 19 Q. And could you tell me the different kinds of 20 Aroclors used? 21 A. At that time at the plant, the Aroclors that 22 were used to make products shipped from the plant that 23 included other materials would be Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 24 1248, Aroclor 1254, Aroclor 1260. 25 Q. Would you explain in a non-technical way the
17
WATER PCB-SD0000058599
1 difference between, for instance, an Aroclor 1242 and, 2 let's say, 1260? 3 A. Well, they're, of course, a -- one difference 4 is the type of PCB in the final mixture, but the 5 predominant feature really is one of the amount of 6 chlorine in that total mixture. The 42 used in the 7 terminology represents 42 percent by weight of the 8 material is chlorine. The 60 used in the Aroclor 1260 9 designation refers to the presence of 60 percent of the 10 material by weight being chlorine. 11 Q. All right. 12 A. So, the higher the last twodigits, the more 13 chlorine is present. 14 Q. In the manufacturing process at the Anniston, 15 Alabama plant, I suppose you would have waste waters that 16 would contain PCB fluids or PCBs? 17 A. Yes. Yes, on occasion. 18 Q. And what years were you at the Anniston, 19 Alabama plant? 20 A. From fairly early in '65 to the end of '69. 21 Q. How did Monsanto dispose of its waste waters 22 that contained PCBs at that plant? 23 A. The waters that could possibly on occasion 24 contain PCBs were sent to an in-plant pond, one of two 25 ponds. In this pond there was crushed rock which was
18
WATER PCB-SD0000058600
1 there to neutralize any acid that might be present in that 2 water. Remember, I said earlier about the presence of 3 hydrochloric acid at the plant. The pond also served as 4 a -- I'm going to call it a trap, if you will, to capture 5 any PCBs that might have gotten into that water. That 6 water then, after settling for -- I forget the exact 7 number of days or retention time in that pond, would flow 8 to the Anniston, Alabama waste water or municipal 9 treatment plant. Frequently, and I have forgotten the 10 degree of frequency, the pond would be bulldozed, if you 11 will, to pick up the sediment, the crushed rock that was 12 contaminated with PCBs, and that material would be drummed 13 and hauled off to the in-plant landfill. The pond would 14 then be re-lined with the proper clays to prevent water 15 from seeping through. New crushed rock would be applied 16 and the pond would be ready for service. In the meantime, 17 the second pond was in service, so they would alternate 18 the two ponds. 19 Q. If I understand your testimony correctly, you 20 said that once the water -- the waste water would sit in 21 the pond a while, then you would -- would you actually 22 treat the water before it was deposited into the Anniston, 23 Alabama waste treatment facility or would it just be 24 skimmed off and put there? 25 A. I think the skimmed off applies better. The
19
WATER PCB-SD0000058601
1 water or the sediment at the bottom would be retained. 2 It's the clear water on top that would be pumped to the 3 municipal treatment plant. 4 Q. And as plant manager, did you think that this 5 was an acceptable means of disposing of Monsanto's waste 6 waters at the time? 7 A. Yes, sir. 8 Q. You left there in 1970, I believe, the 9 Anniston plant? 10 A. Yes, sir. 11 Q. Do you know how long after 1970 that the 12 Anniston plant continued to put its waste waters in a 13 holding pond? 14 A. Are we talking here now as it related to 15 PCBs? 16 Q. Yes. 17 A. As I recall, the production of PCBs at 18 Anniston was terminated in 1972, so the pond would no 19 longer be involved with PCBs. 20 Q. Only because they stopped manufacturing PCBs 21 in 1972? 22 A. At that plant, yes, sir. 23 Q. After you left the Anniston,Alabama plant, 24 what was your next position with Monsanto? 25 A. I was assigned to work in the St. Louis
20
WATER PCB-SD0000058602
1 offices of Monsanto with the title of manager, 2 environmental control, involved with the PCB in the 3 environment issue that was evolving at the time. 4 Q. Was that a new position or did you replace 5 someone? 6 A. That is a new -- that was a new position. 7 Q. All right. 8 MR. BOLZLE: What year was that again? 9 MR. GOEBEL: 1970. 10 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) When you say involved with 11 the PCB issue evolving at the time, what were your 12 responsibilities as manager of environmental control as 13 related to the PCB issue evolving? 14 A. The responsibilities involved really the PCBs 15 and their presence in the environment, the possible 16 effects on the environment, and it was my responsibility 17 to try to keep abreast of all the rapidly developing 18 information and sharing this with, of course, people 19 within Monsanto involved with PCBs and also with customers 20 as well as regulatory representatives and various private 21 laboratories and, of course, including laboratories at 22 several universities. 23 Q. When you say that you tried to keep abreast 24 of all information, did you read a lot about the studies 25 that were being conducted during that time period?
21
WATER PCB-SD0000058603
1 A. Yes, sir, as much as I was made aware of. 2 could find. 3 Q. Did Monsanto do its own studies at the time 4 or did it conduct its own studies? 5 A. Yes. It did. 6 Q. And were you also made aware of what those 7 studies were? 8 A. Certainly. 9 Q. And how were you involved other than just 10 reading about them? 11 A. About which? The Monsanto studies? 12 Q. Yes. 13 A. Oh, I, of course, in many ways looked over 14 the shoulder of the researchers in Monsanto. I was 15 privileged to attend the contract laboratories conducting 16 animal testing studies. I sat in on many meetings at 17 which the progress of these studies was reported. I 18 helped to get proper financing of some of the work. I 19 don't know what else to share with you here. I tried to 20 get as involved as I could. 21 Q. All right. When you said that you looked at 22 the presence of PCBs in the environment, would it also be 23 true that you were familiar with the studies around that 24 time period in the 1970s on the impact of PCBs on the 25 environment and the alleged health hazards of PCBs?
22
WATER PCB-SD0000058604
1 A. I certainly tried to do so. Yes. 2 Q. Are you familiar with the Swedish study? 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. And for the jury, would you tell us what the 5 Swedish study was? 6 A. At the University of Stockholm, there were 7 two principal investigators, Drs. Widmark and Jenssen, 8 J-e-n-s-s-e-n, who were conducting studies to determine 9 the presence of DDT in the environment. As they were 10 conducting these studies, they kept running into an 11 interference in their instruments and in their results. 12 They weren't initially sure of just what this material 13 was. They finally speculated or believed that it was 14 PCBs. They reported this, as I recall, in late 1966 at a 15 meeting in Europe, and it was about 1967 that they were 16 pretty well convinced that it was PCBs that were causing 17 these interferences. That was the gist of it. 18 Q. All right. Did -- so, really, the Swedish 19 study, based on their study, they detected the presence of 20 PCBs in the environment in Europe, right? 21 A. In samples obtained near their university, 22 yes, sir. I don't know that -- correctly to say in total, 23 in all of Europe, no, at that time. 24 Q. And did they do -- other than to indicate 25 that PCBs were present in the environment in the location
23
WATER PCB-SD0000058605
1 that you just described, did the Swedish study involve an 2 analysis of the impact of PCBs on the environment or on 3 human health? 4 A. No. 5 Q. Did the researchers who conducted the Swedish 6 study, were they able to narrow the kinds of PCBs that 7 they found in the environment? 8 A. Yes. They were. They were reporting the 9 presence in environmental samples of the higher 10 chlorinated types of PCBs. 11 Q. And I believe they discovered the PCBs that 12 had 54 percent or 60 percent chlorine by weight; is that 13 right? 14 A. That is correct. 15 Q. Have you had a chance to review the Monsanto 16 records on the kinds of Pydraul used at the Rockwell 17 Manufacturing, Russellville, Kentucky plant? 18 A. Yes. I have. 19 Q. And based on those records, I believe the 20 Russellville plant used Pydrauls 312 and F-9; is that 21 right? 22 A. That's what I sawin the record. Yes, sir. 23 Q. And I believe --well, can you tell me, first 24 of all, what is Pydraul? 25 MR. DAVIDSON: Tony, this is Gerard. May I
24
WATER PCB-SD0000058606
1 interrupt a minute? Bill, if it would be possible, would 2 like to take a short break. 3 MR. GOEBEL: Oh, sure. 4 MR. DAVIDSON: And I'll run down and see if 5 the faxes are here yet. 6 MR. GOEBEL: Why don't you just give us a 7 call back when you're ready and they'll put you through 8 here? 9 MR. DAVIDSON: Okay. 10 [Short break was taken.] 11 [Reporter marked Defendant's Exhibits 1 through 5.] 12 MR. GOEBEL: Court reporter, I think I asked 13 him -- the last question was about Pydraul. I can't 14 remember exactly what it was. 15 [Reporter read from the record as directed.] 16 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) That's the pending question. 17 Can you tell me what is Pydraul? 18 A. Pydraul is a Monsanto trademark used by 19 Monsanto on its fluids sold for use in industrial 20 hydraulic systems. 21 Q. And Pydraul 312 and F-9 would have been two 22 different formulations of fluids, right? 23 A. That is correct. 24 Q. Do you recall the Aroclors contained in 25 Pydrauls 312 and F-9?
25
WATER PCB-SD0000058607
1 A. As best as I can recall, the F-9 contained 2 Aroclor 1248 and the Pydraul 312 contained Aroclor 1242 3 and Aroclor 1248. 4 Q. I know that Monsanto's records do not reflect 5 that they had shipped Pydraul A-200, but I believe the 6 evidence in this case is that A-200 was used at 7 Russellville. Assuming that as true, do you know what 8 Aroclors were used in the Pydraul formulation A-200? 9 A. As best as I can recall, it's Aroclor 1242. 10 Q. All right. Do the Monsanto records reflect 11 that the Russellville plant used any Pydrauls other than 12 those we've already discussed? 13 A. We've discussed three of them, the F-9, the 14 312 and the A-200. 15 Q. And I guess I should say any PCB-containing 16 Pydraul fluids other than those? 17 A. I saw nothing that would indicate that other 18 PCBs were involved at that location. 19 - MR. DAVIDSON: I would like to clarify. I 20 think that he -- Bill testified at the beginning of your 21 questioning about this, that the records reflected -- that 22 Monsanto's records reflected sales of Pydraul F-9 and 23 Pydraul 312 to the Russellville plant, but not Pydraul 24 A-200 . 25 MR. GOEBEL: Right.
26
WATER PCB-SD0000058608
1 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) Other than those Pydrauls, 2 312 and F-9, it's my understanding that Monsanto's records 3 do not reflect that Russellville used any other fluids; is 4 that right? 5 A. That is correct. 6 Q. That is, PCB-containingfluids? 7 A. That is correct. 8 Q. So, none of the fluidsused at Russellville 9 would have contained Aroclors 1254 or 1260; is that right? 10 A. That is correct. 11 Q. After you became familiar with theSwedish 12 study and the results and the conclusions they had reached 13 there, did you send out a letter to Monsanto customers 14 about the presence of the Aroclors or the higher 15 chlorinated PCBs? 16 A. When you say you, you mean me personally or 17 Monsanto? 18 Q. Monsanto. 19 A. Monsanto. There was amailing inMarch of 20 1969 that referred to the Swedish studies along with some 21 other studies known at that time. A similar letter was 22 sent in early February of 1970. 23 Q. And I believe we have a copy of the February 24 9th, 1970 letter, and I'll ask the court reporter to 25 please mark it as Exhibit 1 and hand it to you and see if
27
WATER PCB-SD0000058609
1 that is the letter to which you just referred? 2 A. I have the exhibit and it is a copy of that 3 letter. 4 Q. In the second paragraph of that letter - 5 well, why don't you generally identify the letter? Tell 6 me generally what it is, what it purports to be. 7 A. It's a letter with Monsantoletterhead dated 8 February 9, 1970, authored by Donald A. Olson, director of 9 sales, functional fluids group. It's addressed to Dear 10 Sir and attached to that letter is a copy of an article 11 from the journal Chemical Week dated October 29, 1969. 12 Q. And it says that the letter was being written 13 in response to several newspaper and magazine articles 14 published about PCBs discovered in marine, aquatic and 15 wildlife environments; is that right? 16 A. It does. 17 Q. And in the second paragraph of that letter it 18 states that the PCBs found resembled the higher 19 chlorinated biphenyls, that is, the 54 percent and 60 20 percent chlorine by weight? 21 A. It does. 22 Q. And that would be, inMonsanto'stradenames, 23 the Aroclors 1254 and 1260; is that right? 24 A. That is correct. 25 Q. But you just told us that the Russellville
28
WATER PCB-SD0000058610
1 plant had not used any fluids that contained these higher 2 chlorinated PCBs, right? 3 A. Not to my knowledge. That is correct. 4 Q. Further down on page one of Exhibit 1 it 5 says, "We would like to point out the following additional 6 facts, number one, products such as" -- and then it lists 7 several different Pydrauls, which include 312 and F-9, 8 "are not formulated with Aroclor 1254 or 1260." That is a 9 true statement, isn't it? 10 A. That is correct. 11 Q. And then point number two at thebottom of 12 the page says that PCBs with chlorine content of less than 13 54 percent have not been found in the environment and 14 appear to present no potential problem to the environment? 15 Is that what it says? 16 A. It does. 17 Q. Was that statement true at the time that it 18 was made? 19 A. It was. 20 Q. All right. And PCBswith chlorinecontent of 21 less than 54 percent would have included the Pydrauls 312 22 and F-9; is that right? 23 A. That is correct. 24 Q. Let me show you Exhibit No. 2 which is a form 25 letter from Monsanto authored by a Mr. Schalk. Do you
29
WATER PCB-SD0000058611
1 have that? 2 A X do. 3 Q. Is that the other letter to which you 4 referred a moment ago? 5 A. No. This is a letter that was also sent out 6 in February of 1970 to customers of Monsanto's PCBs used 7 in various applications which Monsanto referred to as 8 plasticizer applications. This included paints and 9 coatings, sealants, caulking, adhesives, inks and so on. 10 Q. But the letter sent out in, I think you said, 11 March of '69, would that have been along the same lines as 12 Exhibits 1 and 2? 13 A. Yes, sir. 14 Q. All right. Exhibit 2 is very similar, is it 15 not, to the language in Exhibit 1 in that it refers to 16 several newspaper articles and magazines articles 17 published about PCBs and their discovery in some marine, 18 aquatic and wildlife environments? 19 A. That is correct. 20 Q. Then paragraph two of Exhibit 2 also 21 identifies PCBs found in the environment as being the 22 higher chlorinated biphenyls, that is, those containing 54 23 percent and 60 percent chlorine by weight; is that right? 24 A. That is correct. 25 Q. And again, in the -- at the bottom of Exhibit
30
WATER PCB-SD0000058612
1 2 it says that those PCBs with less than 54 percent have 2 not been found in the environment and appear to present no 3 potential problem to the environment; is that right? 4 A. That is correct. 5 Q. And that would include the Pydrauls used at 6 the Russellville facility? They contained less than 54 7 percent of chlorine by weight? 8 A. Yes, sir. 9 Q. Let's move on to Exhibit No. 3. It's a 10 letter dated January 31, 1972. Do you have that in front 11 of you? 12 A. I do. 13 Q. The subject of this letter is polychlorinated 14 terphenyls, and you have mentioned that term before. 15 Would you tell the jury what a polychlorinated terphenyl 16 is, please? 17 A. I'll try. Let me compare it to the PCBs. 18 PCBs have two phenyl groups, and by phenyl I'm talking 19 about the equivalent of the benzene ring, the hexagon 20 diagram used by the chemist to graphically show benzene. 21 The terphenyls have three of these benzene rings in their 22 makeup. Does that help, sir? 23 Q. Yes. At the time that you were in your 24 position as manager of environmental control, were you 25 aware of any studies conducted by Monsanto or anyone else
31
WATER PCB-SD0000058613
1 that indicated that PCBs were in the environment -- or 2 PCTs, I'm sorry, were in the environment? 3 A. I recall some samples taken by Monsanto 4 representatives and the analytical laboratory looking for 5 PCTs in those samples and none were found. 6 Q. When I say PCT, that's polychlorinated 7 terphenyls, right? 8 A. Terphenyls. That's correct. 9 Q. Are you aware of any studies that PCTs were 10 an environmental hazard? 11 A. I'm not aware of any such studies. 12 Q. Did anyone at Monsanto ever conclude that 13 PCBs were an environmental hazard? 14 A. Did you say PCTs? 15 Q. Pardon me. PCTs. 16 A. No. There was no evidence to support that 17 conclusion. 18 Q. I believe Monsanto's records reflect that 19 this Exhibit 3 was sent to the Russellville plant. Did 20 there come a time when the Pydraul fluids had been 21 switched over from a PCB fluid to a PCT fluid? 22 A. Some of them were switched over, yes, during 23 1971. 24 Q. Do you recall if Pydraul 312 and F-9 were 25 some of those fluids that were switched over to PCTs?
32
WATER PCB-SD0000058614
1 A. They were. 2 Q. And I'm sorry if you gave me the date. When 3 did that transfer of the new formulations come about? 4 A. I believe that occurred during '71. 5 Q. Do you know when specifically in 1971? 6 A. No. Not to the day or month. No, sir. I'd 7 have to look at the records to refresh my memory. 8 Q. All right. Would the PCT-containing Pydraul 9 fluids have ever contained an environmental warning label? 10 A. No. There was no basis for wording any kind 11 of warning. . 12 Q. Referring back to Exhibit No. 3, the letter 13 says in the first paragraph, "We have decided to stop 14 using polychlorinated terphenyls as a component in our 15 fluids. Our new fluids will contain no chlorinated 16 components." What is meant by the term "chlorinated 17 components?" 18 A. These are chemical ingredients that contain 19 chlorine as part of their makeup. 20 Q. That would include a lot of different things, 21 right? 22 A. Oh, yes. There are literally thousands of 23 chlorinated chemicals. 24 Q. It would include products other than just 25 PCBs; is that right?
33
WATER PCB-SD0000058615
1 A. It's possible. Yes. 2 Q. Chlorinated components can mean products 3 other than PCB-containing products? 4 A. Yes. 5 Q. This letter does not mention PCBs by name, 6 does it? 7 A. It does not. 8 Q. And it does not indicate which Pydraul fluids 9 would have contained polychlorinated terphenyls or which 10 ones would have contained PCBs; is that right? 11 A. No. The letter does not say so, but in 1972, 12 PCBs were no longer used in Pydraul fluids. 13 Q. And this letter does not contain any mention 14 of environmental problems associated with PCTs or PCBs; is 15 that right? 16 A. That is correct. 17 Q. Let's move on toExhibit No. 4. Mr. 18 Papageorge, this is a letter dated March 15, 1972, 19 correct? 20 A. It is. 21 Q. And it starts out by saying, "Confirming our 22 previous letters on Pydraul reformulations," and then it 23 says, "We will begin shipping the new Pydraul products 24 within 30 to 60 days." The last letter that I think that 25 we have is dated January 31, 1972, and that's the one we
34
WATER PCB-SD0000058616
1 just saw; is that right? 2 A. That is correct. 3 Q. And that discussed the reformulation with the 4 elimination of the PCTs from the fluids? 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. In the attachment it has a conversion from 7 the old product to the new product? 8 A. It does. 9 Q. Neither the letter nor the attachment mention 10 PCBs by name, do they? 11 A. It does not. 12 Q. It does not designate which formulas of 13 Pydraul would have contained PCBs, PCTs or any other 14 formulation, does it? 15 A. It does not. 16 Q. And again, this letter does notmention any 17 alleged environmental harms associated with PCBs; is that 18 right? 19 A. It does not. 20 Q. Let's move on to Exhibit No. 5 which is a 21 letter dated August 3rd, 1973. 22 MR. GOEBEL: I believe, Gerard, I didn't have 23 a complete copy here with me, but I believe he does. Can 24 you give us the Bates stamps of that exhibit? 25 MR. DAVIDSON: Yes. Exhibit 5 is Bates stamp
35
WATER PCB-SD0000058617
1 070 through 084, and it consists of a two page letter, a 2 one page attachment listing products, a two page letter on 3 Monsanto letterhead entitled Incineration Service For 4 Pvdraul Fluids, and the last item, 075 through 084, is a 5 copy of an article from the Federal Register dated July 6, 6 1973, Volume 38, Number 129, Part II, entitled 7 Polychlorinated Biphenyls, Contamination of Animal Feeds, 8 Foods, and Food Packaging Materials and Availability of 9 Supplement to Environmental Statement on Rulemaking. 10 MR. GOEBEL: All right. Thank you. 11 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) Mr. Papageorge, I'd like to 12 refer you to page one of Exhibit 5. 13 A. I have it. 14 Q. The first sentencesays, "InFebruary, 1971, 15 we announced the reformulation of our Pydraul industrial 16 fluids to eliminate the use of polychlorinated biphenyls, 17 PCBs, as components of these fluids. Since then, we have 18 reviewed our formulation and taken further steps to remove 19 all chlorinated compounds from our Pydraul fluids." Do 20 you see that? 21 A. I do. 22 Q. There's a -- there's adistinction there, is 23 there not, between the use of the words polychlorinated 24 biphenyls or PCBs and formulations that contain 25 chlorinated compounds; is there not?
36
WATER PCB-SD0000058618
1 A. Yes 2 Q. Those containing chlorinated compounds, would 3 that be the polychlorinated terphenyls that we've 4 discussed? 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. After this date, Monsanto went to a phosphate 7 ester formulation of Pydraul; is that right? 8 A. After which date, sir? 9 Q. Well, August 3rd, 1973. 10 A. No. It was prior to that that the use of 11 phosphate esters was introduced. 12 Q. About what date, approximately, would the 13 Pydrauls containing phosphate esters have been introduced? 14 A. Well, they wereintroduced asreflected in 15 the January, 1972 letter and fully implemented as 16 reflected in the March 15, 1972 letter. Exhibits 3 and 4. 17 Q. So, when those letters. Exhibits 3 and 4, 18 refer to the new formulations, those new formulations 19 would be the phosphate ester formulations? 20 A. Yes. 21 Q. The lastsentence of thethirdparagraph, it 22 says that there is a list attached identifying the Pydraul 23 fluids which contain chlorinated ingredients and those 24 which do not. Do you see that? 25
WATER PCB-SD0000058619
1 Q. Then Bates stamp number -- page number 72 is 2 that list; is it not? 3 A. It is. 4 Q. The list at the top refers to Pydraulfluids 5 which contain chlorinated ingredients, doesn't it? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. And wealready know thatthat could be PCBs 8 or PCTs or many other different ingredients, right? 9 A. Well, for the Pydraul fluids, it's limited to 10 PCBs and PCTs. 11 Q. This letters does not designate which of the 12 Pydraul fluids contained PCBs and which ones contained 13 PCBs or PCTs, does it? 14 A. No. The letter doesn't do so. No. 15 Q. Just for our information today. which of the 16 designations -- can you tell which ones would have 17 contained PCBs and which ones would have contained the 18 terphenyls? 19 A. Yes. I can. For the Pydrauls which are part 20 of our discussion, F-9 and 312, you will note that listed 21 is a 312A and an F-9A. The "A" refers to the 22 polychlorinated terphenyl formulation. 23 Q. And the designation without any letter is the 24 PCB fluid? 25 A. Yes. The original formulation contained
38
WATER PCB-SD0000058620
1 PCBs 2 Q. As I indicated earlier, there are some 3 records which show that the Russellville plant may have 4 used A-200. There's a -- there are three designations of 5 A-200 on this list? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. The A-200 would be the PCB fluid, correct? 8 A. Yes. 9 Q. And the A-200A would be PCT? 10 A. Yes. 11 Q. How about A-200R? What is that formulation? 12 A. It's also a PCT with different ratios of 13 ingredients. 14 Q. And then the fluids identified at the bottom 15 of that page which do not contain chlorinated ingredients, 16 those would be the phosphate ester fluids? 17 A. Yes, sir. 18 Q. They are designatedwith theletters "E" and 19 "C", correct? 20 A. Correct. 21 Q. I want to go back to our discussion about 22 some of the studies that would have been published in the 23 1970s, late '60s, 1970s, and you've told us about the 24 Swedish study. Are you aware of a study relating to the 25 peregrine falcon?
39
WATER PCB-SD0000058621
1 A. Yes. 2 Q. Would you explain what the preliminary 3 conclusions were about PCBs as it related to the peregrine 4 falcon? 5 MR. CUNNINGHAM: Let me object here on the 6 record. I don't recall anything from Mr. Papageorge's 7 background that made him any kind of a toxicologist or 8 biologist or anything, so with that objection noted, I'd 9 love to hear what he has to say. 10 MR. BOLZLE: I'll make the same objection. 11 A. There was a study conducted at Cornell 12 University, and the principal investigator was Dr. David 13 Peakall, P-e-a-k-a-1-1, and I recall reading his report in 14 which he found both DDT and PCB in peregrine falcons and 15 concluded that PCBs as well as DDT were both responsible 16 for the inability of the falcon to produce eggs that would 17 result in a proper reproduction of the falcon. 18 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) Did he make any later 19 conclusions about the cause of this phenomenon to the 20 peregrine falcon? 21 A. Yes. About a year or so later, it was 22 concluded, not only by Dr. Peakall but also the 23 laboratories of the Department of Interior in Patuxent, 24 Maryland, which is a wildlife laboratory, that the cause 25 for the inability of the falcon to reproduce was due
40
WATER PCB-SD0000058622
1 primarily to the presence -- was due to the presence of 2 DDT. 3 Q. And not FCBs? 4 A. Correct. 5 Q. Let me refer you back to Exhibits 1 and 2. 6 In the first sentences of those exhibits there is a 7 mention of marine, aquatic and wildlife environments? 8 A. I see that. 9 Q. Would that study related to the peregrine 10 falcon be one of those newspaper or magazine articles 11 referred to there? 12 A. Yes, and keep in mind, this is referring to 13 presence of the PCBs in the samples. 14 Q. Were there otherarticles innewspapers that 15 would have prompted the mailing of Exhibits 1 and 2? 16 A. Yes. I recall a publication out of the 17 University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Robert Risebrough, 18 R-i-s-e-b-r-o-u-g-h, in which he had alleged or suspected 19 that PCBs were responsible for the reproduction problems 20 of the brown pelican off the coast of Southwest 21 California. I also recall an incident that occurred in 22 the North Sea in which seals and birds in large numbers 23 were washed ashore and PCBs were found in their tissues 24 and PCBs were suspected of being the cause for the dead 25 birds and seals.
41
WATER PCB-SD0000058623
1 Q. Was there any conclusion later reached about 2 the brown pelican about what the cause of the problem was? 3 A. Yes. Dr. Risebrough, in subsequent 4 reporting, concluded that DDT was the cause for the 5 problems he observed, not PCBs. 6 Q. Not PCB? 7 A. Not PCBs. 8 Q. How about with respect to the North Sea seals 9 and birds? Was there a later conclusion? 10 A. Yes. The British goverment ministries 11 concluded that the results of that incident were due to 12 lack of proper food supply for these creatures and violent 13 storms that hit that area resulting in the death of birds 14 and seals, not PCBs. 15 Q. Are you familiar with the Yusho incident? 16 A. Yes. 17 Q. And would you explain what that is, please? 18 A. In Japan, in 1968, some oil which is derived 19 from rice bran was contaminated with PCBs that leaked from 20 the heat transfer system used to distill the oil. This 21 contaminated oil was sold for human consumption and the 22 consumers of that oil had various health problems, which 23 included nausea, tiredness, weakness, watery eyes. There 24 was some infants born which were dark colored, as I 25 remember, the pigmented babies. There was some confusion
42
WATER PCB-SD0000058624
1 initially as to what caused all of these symptoms. It was 2 initially concluded that the problems were caused by the 3 presence of FCBs in this rice bran oil. Further studies 4 from that time until 1975, when the conclusion was reached 5 that the cause for all the health symptoms were 6 chlorinated dibenzofurans that were present and not the 7 PCBs. 8 Q. All right. And the Swedish study, the study 9 on the peregrine falcon, the study on the brown pelican, 10 the study that you read with respect to the North Sea 11 seals and birds and the Yusho incident, all of those 12 things are studies you would have read in connection with 13 your responsibility as Monsanto's manager of environmental 14 control; is that right? 15 A. That is correct. 16 Q. You indicated earlier that Monsanto did its 17 own studies with respect to the environmental effects of 18 PCBs and the effects on humans. Based on Monsanto's 19 studies and the studies that you read in connection with 20 your job as manager of environmental control, are you 21 aware of any studies which conclude that PCBs have an 22 adverse effect on human health? 23 MR. BOLZLE: This is Greg Bolzle for Tim 24 Shook and Rich Montgomery. I'm going to object to the 25 question for the reason that it's irrelevant.
43
WATER PCB-SD0000058625
1 MR. CUNNINGHAM: And while you're typing that 2 down, if you'd indicate that Mr. Cunningham shares in that 3 objection. I think it's an irrelevant question in light 4 of what Congress has done, but that's okay. You can go 5 ahead and answer. 6 MR. GOEBEL: Wait a minute. It's irrelevant 7 to your claim, is that what you mean, that the hazards of 8 PCBs on human health is irrelevant? 9 MR. CUNNINGHAM: No. His opinion at to what 10 the hazards are is irrelevant because Congress has already 11 decided that as a matter of law, but we're happy to hear 12 what Mr. Papageorge thinks. 13 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) With all those objections, 14 Mr. Papageorge, if you can, answer the question. 15 A. There are reports that would indicate that 16 PCBs under conditions of misuse and mishandling and at 17 high levels of exposure, human beings can get enough of 18 the exposure to result in various health symptoms, the 19 type of symptoms varying with the length of exposure and 20 the amount of material to which they were exposed. 21 Q. Is the predominant symptom chloracne in those 22 who have high exposure? 23 A. I don't know that I can use the word 24 "predominant" clearly there. I would suggest that from my 25 experience and perspective, I would suggest that chloracne
44
WATER PCB-SD0000058626
1 is an intermediate warning symptom that exposure is 2 greater than it should be. 3 Q. Do you know if Monsanto made any conclusions 4 itself about the potential health effects of PCBs on 5 humans during the time you were there? 6 A. Certainly. 7 Q. And what were those conclusions? 8 A. If improperly used and if exposure occurs 9 either through breathing or through skin or ingestion, the 10 health of the human being so exposed would be affected. I 11 don't know how else to explain that, but the labels 12 cautioned against breathing and skin contact. 13 Q. And that would be by the person who would 14 handle the fluids, for instance, a person who might put 15 the hydraulic oil in a machine? 16 MR. BOLZLE: I'm going to object to the 17 question. This is Greg Bolzle again. I object to it as 18 to form in that it is leading. 19 A. That is one example of a type of a person 20 that might be involved with PCBs, yes. 21 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) Are you familiar with the 22 Kimbrough articles? 23 A. I'm familiar with several articles by Dr. 24 Kimbrough. 25 Q. Do you know what those conclusions or what
45
WATER PCB-SD0000058627
1 Dr. Kimbrough's conclusions were about the effects of PCBs 2 on humans? 3 A. Dr. Kimbrough, after many years of studying 4 PCBs and its effect on humans, as I recall, concluded that 5 she could find no cause and effect relationship between 6 PCBs and human beings. 7 Q. Going back, since there was an objection to 8 the form of the question on the kinds of people who might 9 come into contact with PCBs by inhalation and skin 10 contact, tell me, when you answered that question, 11 besides -- or what kinds of people were you referring to 12 who would come into contact with PCB-containing fluids? 13 A. Well, there are, of course, the individuals 14 involved with the manufacture of the PCBs, the blending of 15 these PCBs into mixtures that are sold as industrial 16 fluids, the individuals that might be involved during some 17 sort of accident during shipment, this would include all 18 kind, the truck driver or the railroad people or the 19 volunteer fire department, et cetera, the people who 20 received it at the customer's site and unloaded the 21 shipment, the individuals who use that material in the 22 manufacture of a product at the customer's site, again the 23 shipment of the customer's product to his customer, the 24 installation of that piece of equipment at the site of 25 use, the servicing of that equipment while it's in
46
WATER PCB-SD0000058628
1 service/ the removal and final disposal of that unit when 2 it no longer served its purpose. There are all types of 3 opportunities for exposure if done improperly. 4 Q. You were not referring to people who may have 5 come into contact with soil that would have contained a 6 level of PCBs? 7 A. Well, that's -- that's a result of a 8 mishandling of the material resulting in an unintended 9 exposure and unintended in that it was not intended to be 10 in that soil. So, yes, that could be a group of people 11 involved with clean up and disposal of such conditions 12 that might be exposed. 13 MR. GOEBEL: Let's take a break. Gerard, 14 would you see if that other fax has come in? 15 MR. DAVIDSON: Sure. 16 [Short break was taken.] 17 [Reporter marked Defendant's Exhibits 6 through 9.] 18 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) Mr. Papageorge, let me hand 19 you Exhibit No. 6 and ask you if you can identify those 20 documents? 21 A. Exhibit No. 6 is a collection of copies of 22 Monsanto Company labels for Pydraul F-9 and Pydraul 312. 23 There are examples of seven different labels in this 24 exhibit. 25 Q. Mr. Bistline in his deposition indicated that
47
WATER PCB-SD0000058629
1 these would have been the labels that would have appeared 2 on the Pydraul F-9 and Pydraul 312 formulas over the years 3 that they were manufactured by Monsanto. Do you know 4 anything differently than that? 5 A. I do not. 6 Q. The labels mention chlorinated hydrocarbons. 7 Is that similar to like a polychlorinated product in that 8 it contains a lot of different chlorinated products? 9 A. Chlorinated hydrocarbons refers to an 10 extremely large family of chemicals, which the 11 hydrocarbons refers to the presence of carbon and 12 hydrogen, and, of course, the word "chlorinated" refers to 13 the presence of chlorine, so that's a very broad family of 14 chemicals in industrial use. 15 Q. There's no mention in any of the labels in 16 Exhibit 6 of polychlorinated biphenyls by name, is there? 17 A. There is not. No. 18 Q. Let me hand you or show you Exhibit No. 7 19 and ask you if you are familiar with that document? 20 A. I am. 21 Q. Mr. Bistlineindicated that after, I think he 22 said. May of 1970, Monsanto began affixing an 23 environmental label to any PCB-containing fluid. Is that 24 a photocopy of that label? 25 A. It is.
48
WATER PCB-SD0000058630
1 Q. Is it my understanding that for all 2 PCB-containing fluids prior to May, 1970, no such 3 environmental label would have appeared? Is that right? 4 A. That is correct. 5 Q. And I assume that if there were distributors 6 of Pydraul or PCB-containing fluids that would have had a 7 surplus of PCB-containing fluids on hand when you began 8 putting the label on the fluids in May of 1970, that they 9 would have had to use up their supply without the label 10 after that date before they would have received shipments 11 with that label. Is that right? 12 A. No. They were sent labels to affix to the 13 containers prior to shipment. 14 Q. And you would have hadto rely on your 15 distributors to affix the label? 16 A. Yes, sir. 17 Q. And I think you already said that this kind 18 of label would not have appeared on the PCT-containing 19 fluids, right? 20 A. That is correct. 21 Q. Let me refer you to Exhibit No. 8. 22 A. I have it. 23 Q. Mr. Bistline described a rubberstamp that 24 was used to stamp invoices. Is this an imprint of that 25 rubber stamp?
49
WATER PCB-SD0000058631
1 A. It is. 2 Q. Do you recall when Monsanto began using the 3 rubber stamp? 4 A. As best I recall/ this stamp was used in the 5 latter part of 1970. I don't recall the specific date, 6 but it seems to me it happened in November or December of 7 1970. 8 Q. And then let me refer you to Exhibit 9 which 9 includes several invoices on Pydraul purchased by 10 Russellville from Monsanto. Is it not? 11 A. Yes. It is. 12 Q. And nowhere on those invoices does the 13 imprint depicted in Exhibit 8 -- let me start over. 14 Strike that last question. Nowhere on any of the invoices 15 in Exhibit 9 does the imprint of the label depicted in 16 Exhibit 8 appear; is that true? 17 A. That's true. 18 Q. And I believe from Mr. Bistline's deposition 19 he indicated that the imprint depicted in Exhibit 8 would 20 have been stamped on the customer's copy -- 21 A. That is correct. 22 Q. -- of the invoice? 23 A. That is correct. 24 Q. So, Monsanto would have to rely on its 25 shipping clerk to stamp each invoice, correct?
50
WATER PCB-SD0000058632
1 A. Well, more correctly, it would be the billing
2 clerk as distinguished from a shipping clerk.
3 Q. Okay. And according to -- well, in the
4 records that we have received from Monsanto, I don't
5 believe there is any invoice that we have received that
6 contains this imprint depicted in Exhibit 8. Are you
7 aware of any?
8 MR. BOLZLE: I'm going to object to the form
9 of the question. This is Greg Bolzle for Tim Shook and
10 Rich Montgomery.
11 MR. GOEBEL: On the basis that it's leading?
12 MR. BOLZLE: Yeah, and argumentative.
13
Q.
(By Mr. Goebel)
Let me ask it this way. Are
14 you aware of any Monsanto records regarding theshipment
15 of Pydraul which contain the label depicted in Exhibit 8?
16 A. I am not.
17 Q. Let us take just a second here. I may be
18 finished. That's all for now. I don't know who's going
19 to go first here.
20 CROSS-EXAMINATION
21 QUESTIONS BY MR. CUNNINGHAM:
22 Q. Mr. Papageorge,my name is Charles
23 Cunningham. I'll go first here on behalf of the
24 plaintiffs in the various actions that this deposition is
25 being taken for. I'll try to follow the same order that
51
WATER PCB-SD0000058633
1 Mr. Goebel did, starting back at the beginning and coming 2 through and hitting a few things, questions that I had 3 based upon your direct testimony, and then I may have a 4 few things of my own that I may want to inquire about. I 5 notice you said you got your bachelor's degree in 1943? 6 A. That's correct. 7 Q. I just got my alumni magazine from our 8 engineering school here and they did an article on the 9 1943 grads about how they basically all went off to war 10 after they graduated. Did you do any military service? 11 A. I did.
12 Q. Where did you serve?
13 A. Oh, eventually, in the Pacific area.
14 Q. Which particular --
15 A. Philippines and Japan.
16 Q. What particular sort of assignment did you
17 have? 18 A. I was in the army. I started out in the 19 antiaircraft field, artillery, and went through infantry 20 and ended up finally in the Corps of Engineers. 21 Q. Okay. You didn't have any real 22 responsibilities that would have been involved in handling 23 any sort of chemicals or anything like that then, it 24 doesn't sound like? 25 A. Oh, I had an assignment in Japan that
52
WATER PCB-SD0000058634
1 bordered on that. I had the assignment of searching a 2 prefecture in Japan for supplies of chemical warfare 3 materials and equipment. I don't know if that helps you 4 at all. 5 Q. I was just trying to get an idea of your 6 total background as far as your experience in the area of 7 chemicals and chemical engineering and so forth. 8 A. Uh-huh. 9 Q. I thought that perhaps you might have had 10 some duty in the military based on that article I just 11 read about the '43 engineering grads. You mentioned when 12 you worked with Phillips Petroleum you had worked with 13 some drilling fluids. Is that what a lot of people in the 14 industry call drilling mud? 15 A. Yes, sir. 16 Q. Let me ask you for amoment here about your 17 experience down there in Anniston, Alabama. What part of 18 Alabama is that in? 19 A. Oh, it's in the middle of the state, about an 20 hour east of Birmingham and two hours west of Atlanta. 21 Q. Is that on any particular stream? 22 A. Oh, the Cousa River runs -23 Q. Which river? 24 A. Cousa, C-o-u-s-a,runs inthatgeneral 25 vicinity, and there are some man-made lakes there.
53
WATER PCB-SD0000058635
1 Q. Okay. It's my experience that most chemical 2 plants require a fair amount of water either for process 3 water or feed stock. What was your source of water there 4 at that particular plant? 5 A. It's the Anniston municipal water system. 6 Q. Are you aware of any sort of environmental 7 PCB contamination that has emanated from that plant? It 8 seemed like, for as many years as that plant operated, I 9 guess for a while without anyone thinking there was a 10 problem with this particular chemical, there might well be 11 some environmental contamination. Are you aware of any? 12 A. I recall some samples made of soil from a 13 nearby natural draining -- drainage ditch which was 14 referred to as Snow Creek that ran by the plant property 15 and PCBs were found in those samples. 16 Q. Do you have any idea of how many linear yards 17 or miles of stream or ditch line were contaminated? 18 A. I don't recall the number any longer. 19 Q. Well, let me see if I can put it this way. 20 Do you recall it as probably being less than a mile or 21 more than a mile? 22 A. As best I can recall, it was about a mile. 23 It wasn't much more than a mile. 24 Q. Okay. And do you know when they first 25 started to manufacture PCB compounds at that particular
54
WATER PCB-SD0000058636
1 chemical plant? 2 A. I understand the Swan Company started in 3 1929. 4 Q. And the production of those type of compounds 5 ceased in the early '70s? 6 A. At that plant, yes, sir. 7 Q. All right. So, we've got 40 some odd years 8 of manufacturing. When was that sampling done there at 9 Snow Creek; do you recall? Was it before or after '71 or 10 '72? 11 A. About that time really, about '71.
12 Q. All right. Now, you were asked on direct
13 whether or not there were any other compounds that could 14 do the job of the PCBs, and my recollection of your answer 15 was that they did it best. You weren't aware of anything 16 that did it as well; is that correct? 17 A. That is correct. 18 Q. I had seen some literature from Monsanto that 19 led me to conclude that your all's new formulations from 20 the '70s, I guess these phosphate esters, would give you 21 just as good of performance. Are you not really of that 22 opinion? Not to be obtuse, I'm looking specifically at a 23 letter dated April 15, 1971 from a C. Larry Bradford, 24 product manager, hydraulics and lubricants. It's 25 addressed, "Dear Sir: I have currently went through most
55
WATER PCB-SD0000058637
1 of your PCB or, rather, Pydraul customers," and he says in 2 there at the end, at the last sentence, "The reformulated 3 products you are now using will give you equal or better 4 performance than you previously had, and with no PCBs." 5 And I guess what I'm asking is whether or not you concur 6 with that statement that Mr. Bradford made? 7 A. I concur with Mr. Bradford's statement made 8 in 1971, -9 Q. Okay. 10 A. -- but my prior remarks relating to the 11 available alternatives for PCBs in the '50s and '60s and 12 so on, there were no known alternatives. The phosphate 13 esters which were finally developed for use by Monsanto 14 were new chemicals introduced into commerce. 15 Q. Monsanto created, as I understand it again 16 from these letters, specifically with the mind as a 17 replacement for the PCB compound; is that correct? 18 A. That is correct. 19 Q. And I want to say page 107, which was one of 20 our exhibits. Exhibit 4, specifically indicated that these 21 new compounds -- that the pricing is competitive with the 22 present Pydraul line. Was that your recollection as well? 23 From an economic standpoint, phosphate esters were 24 competitive with the cost of the Pydrauls? 25 A. Yes, but what -- I've lost track of the
56
WATER PCB-SD0000058638
1 timing here. What year are you referring to now? 2 Q. Exhibit 4 is a letter from 1972. 3 A. Oh.
4 Q. Do you have Exhibit 4 handy?
5 A. I have it. 6 Q. It's the last sentence of the second 7 paragraph. 8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Okay. 10 A. That does refer to the phosphate ester 11 fluids. 12 Q. Right.
13 A. The reason I was confused, Mr.Bradford's 14 letter that we referred to earlier, -15 Q. Yes, sir. 16 A. -- that was referring to really chlorinated 17 hydrocarbons in the form of PCTs being used in the earlier 18 reformulations. 19 Q. Okay. I thought you had ceased using even 20 those by 1973? 21 A. That's true, but you hadreferred to Mr. 22 Bradford's letter and the reference to equal or better 23 performance. That is comparing one chlorinated 24 hydrocarbon with another as compared to comparing a 25 chlorinated hydrocarbon like a PCB with a phosphate ester.
57
WATER PCB-SD0000058639
1 That's a different kind of comparison. 2 Q. All right. Well, then, let me ask you to 3 make that comparison between the performance of a 4 polychlorinated biphenyl compound hydraulic fluid versus a 5 phosphate ester compound hydraulic fluid. 6 A. Well, eventually, it's my understanding, and 7 keep in mind I'm no expert, but the phosphate ester 8 developed by Monsanto and the production unit built and 9 designed to produce it was, for all practical purposes, 10 comparable in the type of properties that used to be 11 achieved with PCB and PCT mixtures. 12 Q. Okay. And I understand. That's a fair 13 response. And in fact, it kind of leads me to my next 14 question, which was going to be that -- I'm assuming, 15 while you're very familiar with or at least somewhat 16 familiar with most of the products that Monsanto may have 17 sold and marketed and manufactured over the years for 18 hydraulic fluids, that you may not be as knowledgeable 19 about the particular fire retardant, fire resistant 20 hydraulic fluids for industrial uses that Monsanto's 21 competitors may have been marketing in the '50s and '60s 22 and '70s. Is that a fair statement? 23 A. It is. 24 Q. Okay. I would like to talk to you now a 25 little bit about your waste water control system down
58
WATER PCB-SD0000058640
1 there in Anniston that you described for us. 2 A. Yes, sir. 3 Q. I understand you used dual lagoons with clay 4 liners, and was it crushed limestone that you were using 5 for neutralization? 6 A. Yes, sir. 7 Q. Okay. And then you would drum the sediment 8 that would result in the aggregate and dispose of that in 9 situ there at the facility? Do you know if they had any 10 sort of a situation subsequent where the state of Alabama 11 or federal EPA has come back to monitor that landfilling 12 facility? 13 MR. GOEBEL: Objection. Irrelevant. 14 A. I know that the regulatory representatives 15 from the state have visited the plant and made an 16 investigation. I don't know the degree of monitoring that 17 you might have in mind. They were satisfied with the - 18 with what they saw, and that's where it now stands, to the 19 best of my knowledge. 20 Q. (By Mr. Cunningham) I guess I'm curious as 21 to why you would have bothered putting that stuff out in 22 the lagoon, why you wouldn't just let it get out into a 23 drainage ditch and go on out to the creek or whatever. 24 Was it your perspective that good engineering practices in 25 the '60s would have mandated that a waste stream that
59
WATER PCB-SD0000058641
1 potentially would have contained PCBs should have been 2 segregated in the manner that you have described that you 3 all did in that facility, at a minimum? 4 A. At a minimum, it is just not prudent to 5 discharge knowingly any kind of industrial chemical, 6 whether it be PCBs or any other material, and the sediment 7 that collected in that pond was just the type of thing 8 that you wouldn't want to discharge out into the 9 environment. It just wasn't a practice that was 10 considered to be responsible. That's all. 11 Q. It's from the nuisance aspects and esthetic
12 aspects of discharging something like that that you just
13 wouldn't do it, right? 14 A. That's part of it. 15 Q. Okay. Mr. Papageorge, you put a qualifier in 16 there about not -- you wouldn't want to discharge any 17 industrial waste stream like that into the environment 18 knowingly. I want you to assume for the purposes of my 19 next question that -- I think you can look at the last 20 exhibit we had entered which would show what Rockwell's 21 consumption of Pydraul was for -- I want to say these 22 invoices cover from like the '71 through '72 years. I 23 think if you look there, you will see that they were 24 consuming Pydraul in fairly significant quantities. 25 Sometimes it looks like ten 55-gallon drums -- 54-gallon
60
WATER PCB-SD0000058642
1 drums on a monthly or every other monthly basis. Based 2 upon your understanding of how PCB holds up in an 3 industrial setting as a hydraulic fluid, can't we safely 4 assume that that Pydraul had to be -- it wasn't breaking 5 down; isn't that correct? Pydraul does not necessarily 6 break down as a hydraulic fluid and decompose? 7 MR. GOEBEL: Let me object to the form. This 8 is Tony Goebel. 9 Q. (By Mr. Cunningham) The reason you'd have to 10 buy more Pydraul is because either its leaked out and 11 gotten into your facility somewhere or you're adding 12 capacity? It's not because the Pydraul has broken down 13 and decomposed, correct? 14 MR. GOEBEL: Again, object to the form of the 15 question. 16 A. My reason for hesitating is, I find that I 17 need a lot more information regarding what goes on at the 18 site. I'd be speculating as to whether the material is 19 damaged because of a misuse, or if it isn't kept in the 20 system, where does it really end up? It might be very 21 responsibly handled somehow. I'd be guessing, totally 22 guessing. 23 Q. (By Mr. Cunningham) Let me put it this way. 24 If you were plant manager of a facility that was using 25 this much Pydraul, would you want to know where it was
61
WATER PCB-SD0000058643
1 going, where it was ending up?
2 A. If I were the plant manager? I probably
3 would know. 4 Q. Okay. Sir, can you tell me what the specific 5 gravity of Pydraul is? I assume it varies from one
6 Pydraul to another, but as a general statement, is Pydraul
7 typically more than 1.0 or less than 1.0? To be less than 8 2, my understanding is that that would mean heavier than 9 water or lighter than water? 10 A. I would suggest that it's heavier than water. 11 Just the labels themselves would give you a good reading
12 on that. You'll note on Exhibit 6, 141, a 55-gallon drum
13 weighs 590 pounds. That makes it more than the 8. so 14 pounds per gallon that water is, which would be a specific 15 gravity of 1. 16 Q. Okay. And just to get a few other bits of 17 information about PCBs from a guy who used to manufacture 18 them, I understand that they are -- persist in the 19 environment? In this sense, for instance, there's a lot 20 of hydrocarbons that may be found in various pesticides 21 that are specifically formulated not to be persistent with 22 the idea that they will get in, do their job and then 23 degrade into less toxic substances. Am I correct in my 24 understanding that PCBs were not a substance which was 25 expected to degrade and that in reality held up, for lack
62
WATER PCB-SD0000058644
1 of a better word, rather well in the normal environment? 2 A. That was the perception of the material. 3 Yes, sir. 4 Q. Okay. And the main difference between a - 5 you told us, between an Aroclor 1248 and Aroclor 1260 was 6 that there was a greater degree of chlorination of the 7 biphenyl ring with a 1260 compound than with a 1248? 8 A. Yes. 9 Q. And am I correct in understanding that as a 10 practical matter, the real world significance of that 11 difference was that you -- primarily the degree of 12 viscosity? 13 A. Oh, that's one measure. The higher the 14 chlorination level, the more viscous the material. The 15 higher the chlorination level, the more fire resistant the 16 material. So, there are other properties associated with 17 the presence of more chlorine. 18 Q. Okay. And another property of PCBs, as I 19 understand it, is that they are -- I think the word is 20 lipophilic, but, in essence, it's attracted and tends to 21 get bound up in soil, sediments, sludges; is that correct? 22 A. Oh, your use of the expression lipophilic, I 23 don't associate that with soils and sediment. 24 Q. Okay. Well, -- 25 A. I'm confused -
63
WATER PCB-SD0000058645
1 Q. -- that's probably because I don't know.
2 A. -- with your question.
3 Q. You tell me. Is it hydrophobic? It doesn't 4 particularly dissolve in water very well; is that correct? 5 A. That is correct. 6 Q. Indeed, what is considered to be a saturation 7 level for water, PCB? 8 A. Depending on the level of chlorination, the 9 lower chlorinated being a little more soluble, as I 10 recall, at ambient, average kinds of temperatures, the 11 solubility is about 200 parts per billion with a "B".
12 Q. I had heard of stuff actually lower by order
13 of magnitude than that. 14 A. Yeah. There are some of the higher ones that 15 are down in the 10 and 50 parts per billion level. 16 Q. Okay. Do you have any idea what Aroclor 17 1248 -- where -- the range that falls? 18 A. I would suggest 48 is more like the hundred 19 part per billion. 20 Q. Okay. You had testified earlier that you -- 21 your recollection was that F-9 -- Pydraul F-9 contained 22 primarily 1248 Aroclor? The 312, you thought, also 23 contained 1248, but also 1242, and that A-200 contained 24 1242, but I wasn't convinced that you were positive on 25 that. How sure are you that Aroclor -- that Pydraul 312
64
WATER PCB-SD0000058646
1 contained Aroclor 1242? 2 A. Well, my memory isn't crystal clear after all 3 these years, but I'd have to -4 Q. Let me put it a different way. If we wanted 5 to be sure, is there some sort of documentation that one 6 could resort to that would give us a better answer on 7 that, a definitive answer? 8 A. Yes. I would attempt to find some records 9 which would reflect the -- let me call it the recipe of
10 what went into this blend. 11 Q. Okay. Well, cooking is kind of a hobby of 12 mine, and I kind of enjoy reading recipes, so maybe we
13 could make a request of you, at your leisure, this isn't 14 an urgent thing, but if you could find the recipe for F-9 15 and 312, we'd love to see it. I presume you don't have a 16 proprietary concern over it anymore since you're not 17 allowed to market it in the U.S., or do you still sell it 18 overseas? Do you have some concern about controlling the 19 release of that recipe? Maybe I should direct that to
20 your attorney. 21 A. Oh, I'd have to -- yeah. The -- 22 MR. DAVIDSON: Mr. Papageorge doesn't have
23 any records. The request would have to be made to 24 Monsanto, probably to Mr. Bistline, or I can convey it. 25 We don't have any problem with describing it. If you want
65
WATER PCB-SD0000058647
1 me on the record about it, I can tell you that the 2 Aroclor -- the Pydraul 312 component -- PCB component was 3 Aroclor 1242 and the A-200 components were Aroclor 1242 4 and 1248. Bill just had those two reversed in his earlier 5 testimony. 6 Q. (By Mr. Cunningham) Let me talk to you a 7 moment here, Mr. Papageorge, about the purity on this 8 stuff. How much of -- on a weight percent, how much of a 9 Pydraul, say, F-9 would have been an Aroclor or a PCB 10 compound versus some other sort of substance? 11 A. Oh, I don't remember the proportions at all.
12 Again, I'd have to look up the recipe to determine that.
13 Q. Well, let me inquire again, in the broadest 14 range to feel comfortable, are we taking about a substance 15 that is at least half polychlorinated biphenyls or 16 something less than half, or do you even feel comfortable 17 trying that? 18 A. I -- there were so many Pydraul mixtures and 19 variations within each type of Pydraul that I am, at this
20 point, unable to recall which is which. 21 Q. All right. Then, could you tell me just real 22 quick some of the other things I might find in some of the
23 Pydrauls aside from PCBs, and you've already described 24 PCTs? Other than those, what else might we expect to find 25 in a recipe?
66
WATER PCB-SD0000058648
1 A. You might find some mineral oil. You might 2 find -- well, we mentioned the phosphate esters. 3 Q. Now, were they around in the '60s? 4 A. What? The phosphate esters? 5 Q. Right. I'm sorry. I perhaps was not very 6 artful in my question. I'm looking primarily at the 7 formulation of the Pydrauls in the late '50s and 8 throughout the 1960s. 9 A. There were some phosphate esters available. 10 Q. Okay. And the mineral oil which you 11 mentioned. Anything else that immediately comes to mind 12 as a component of these things? 13 A. Not of significance. No. There's the usual 14 color additives and -- but nothing of significance. 15 Q. What color was Pydraul? Was there a 16 particular color or did that vary? 17 A. That varied with time. I recall sort of a 18 reddish-purplish color. I just -- it changed with time. 19 Q. Okay. I'm curious to know about the possible 20 contamination components. I assume that any time you're 21 making a chemical compound, the chemical reaction that 22 leads to that is not necessarily 100 percent efficient and 23 that you may have in your finished material certain minute 24 quantities of contaminants or unreactive feed stock or 25 what have you. Do you have any feel for what sort of
67

1 purity you were able to attain with these Pydrauls? 2 A. I have no idea. 3 Q. When we talk about -- I guess the analogy I 4 want to try and take you to is petroleum products because 5 that's what I'm more familiar with. When you put 6 petroleum through a cracker and you start taking off your 7 fractions at different levels, there's a little crossover, 8 in other words, you might get at one particular level 9 primarily, you know, like at the bottom asphalt, but you 10 still have some of your lighter fractions in there. Was 11 the same thing true when you were making these PCB 12 compounds? You could draw it off, looking for 1248, and 13 get predominantly 1248, but would you at the same time get 14 some 1242 in there, some 1254, or was it a pretty -- a 15 process that led to a pretty pure fraction? 16 A. Well, keep in mind that the fraction 17 collected and sold as a product in itself was a mixture of 18 the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 chlorobiphenyls. 19 Q. Okay. 20 A. The distillation was conducted under certain 21 pressures and temperatures. The resulting product, 22 although identified as, say, a 1242 indicating a 42 23 percent by weight chlorine, might vary a couple percent. 24 It might be 1240 to 1243 range. Within that mixture there 25 could be varying amounts of the 5 chloro, the 4 chloro,
68
WATER PCB-SD0000058650
1 the 3 chloro and so on PCBs. It is not a distinct, pure 2 chemical entity that is sold. 3 Q. Okay. And that was my understanding, and I 4 appreciate you clarifying that for me. Then what you 5 would do, I think, is you'd take your end product and put 6 it in a gas chromatograph or a mass gasometer and it would 7 come off with a reading based upon the average degree of 8 chlorination, and that's how you'd label it, right, a 9 little bit of all these different things, but - 10 A. It depends. At what period of time are we 11 talking about now? Does that matter? You mentioned gas 12 chromatography and all. That developed in the late '60s 13 and '70s, and the graph that is generated by the 14 instrument and is commonly referred to as the fingerprint 15 where the peaks and valleys represent the different levels 16 of chlorination, they would vary from batch to batch of 17 material, but not significantly. 18 Q. But the bottom line is that when you get a 19 fingerprint for an Aroclor now a days from a gas 20 chromatograph, to some extent, you're getting kind of an 21 average of the PCB molecules that you're burning off, 22 right? 23 A. Average, or you might want to use the word 24 typical. 25 Q. Okay. That's fair.
69
WATER PCB-SD0000058651
1 A. This fingerprint is typical of 1242 or of
2 1254. It is -- no two are exactly alike.
3 Q. Right. And in reality, you're going to have
4 some molecules from several different biphenyl rings, but
5 that's -- the fingerprint will be typical of that compound
6 which has that particular number showing up most often,
7 that degree of chlorination showing up most often?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Okay. I'd like you to take a look at Exhibit
10 2 for just a second, please, and specifically the page
11 labeled Rockwell 00054.
12 A. I have it.
13 Q. That appears to me to be analphabetical
14 listing of summary of water quality standards for all 50
15 states, and about two-thirds of the way down there there's
16 a summary of requirements for water quality in Kentucky.
17 Do you see that?
18
A.
I see that.
Yes.
19 Q. Can you read for me under other remarks or
20 other requirements what they say for Kentucky? My copy is
21 pretty lousy, but I'm hoping yours might be better.
22 A. I don't know if it's my copy or my eyes.
23 You're asking under other requirements?
24 Q. Correct.
25
A.
I'll try to read it.
Color, taste and
70
WATER PCB-SD0000058652
1 odors
2 Q. Wastes maybe? 3 A. -- wastes must not create a nuisance.
4 Q. Okay.
5 A. I can't read the next word. Something about
6 dissolved solids must not exceed 1,000 milligrams per
7 liter. Monthly average, 7 -- I can't tell if those are
8 zeroes or not -- I'm going to call it 700 milligrams per
9 liter. No floating waste in unsightly or --
10 Q. Would that be deleterious?
11
A.
-- or
deleterious amounts. No other wastes
12 that settle to form putrescent or objectionable sludges.
13 I can't read the next word. Wait a minute. No. I can't
14 read the next two words.
15 Q. Okay.
16 A. No waste in -- I can't read the other word -
17 or combinations harmful to humans, animal, plant or --
18 Q. Aquatic?
19 A. -- aquatic life.
20 Q. Thank you. Let me take you next to your
21 discussion of the Yusho event in Japan in the late '60s.
22 My recollection of your testimony was that your
23 understanding of the medical literature was that
24 eventually the adverse human health effects that were
25 detected in that particular exposed population was
71
WATER PCB-SD0000058653
1 attributed to dibenzofurans as opposed to PCBs. Is that 2 correct? 3 A. Yeah. The chlorinated dibenzofurans. 4 Q. Okay. Do you know where those came from? 5 A. What came from? 6 Q. The chlorinated dibenzofurans. For the court 7 reporter's benefit, can we maybe just shorten that up to 8 CDBFs or something? 9 A. I have no -- no information that would help 10 me determine exactly where those materials came from. 11 Q. Aren't furans a known contaminant in PCB 12 compounds? 13 A. Yes. 14 Q. In fact, in mostchlorinatedhydrocarbons 15 there's a potential for the production of minute 16 quantities of that particular contaminant? 17 A. Not -- when you saychlorinated hydrocarbons, 18 I have to say that that's not correct. 19 Q. Okay. Well, I don't care much about the rest 20 of it anyway. The bottom line is, there is technical data 21 that has indicated that dibenzofurans -- chlorinated 22 dibenzofurans occasionally occur as a byproduct or a 23 contaminant or a decomposition product in PCB compounds, 24 correct? 25 A. That is correct.
72
WATER PCB-SD0000058654
1 Q. So, even if there was a different particular 2 chemical that caused these particular adverse health 3 effects, if that particular chemical happened to be a 4 contaminant or waste product or decomposition product of 5 the PCBs, in a sense, these folks' illnesses were still 6 attributable to the PCB contamination or the contamination 7 of that fluid? 8 MR. GOEBEL: I'm going to object to the form 9 of the question. This is Tony Goebel. 10 A. You've made a big jump into a conclusion. 11 Let me suggest that -- keep in mind that the PCB involved 12 at the Yusho incident was, first of all, a Japanese 13 company, not the one that's associated with Monsanto. 14 We -- at least I don't know all the conditions that 15 existed during the incident and what created the presence 16 of the dibenzofurans in that Japanese PCB, whether it was 17 present originally in the material or whether it occurred 18 because of the leak and the exposure to the high 19 temperature, the air and the oil. 20 Q. (By Mr. Cunningham) Okay. That's fair. 21 A. There are a lot of new factors introduced in 22 that particular incident. 23 Q. Okay. You had a fair degree of discussion 24 with Mr. Goebel about human health effects. Are you of 25 the opinion that PCB compounds have any deleterious
73
WATER PCB-SD0000058655
1 effects on plant or animal life? 2 A. I have no information at all that tells me 3 that PCBs are harmful to plant life. There are some 4 studies that demonstrate that PCBs do affect some 5 creatures in nature. The one that comes to mind is the 6 study made in Florida relating to young shrimp that were 7 sensitive to very low concentrations of PCBs. We do know, 8 too, that PCBs have demonstrated that they do affect the 9 egg laying and reproduction of chickens. I, at the 10 moment, can't recall any other study that demonstrates a 11 harmful effect of PCBs to wildlife or domestic life even. 12 Q. Okay. Have you, in your job there with 13 Monsanto, been charged with the task of doing any sort of 14 environmental auditing or what is sometimes referred to as 15 due diligence with respect to either the sale of 16 properties by Monsanto that may have been contaminated in 17 the past with PCBs or the purchase by Monsanto of 18 facilities that may have in the past been so contaminated? 19 A. I have never been involved with that type of 20 situation and I don't know of any Monsanto involvement 21 with -- with that kind of situation. 22 Q. Taking it from the perspective of property 23 Monsanto already owns, you're not aware of there being a 24 problem at any of their facilities with soil contamination 25 with PCBs?
74
WATER PCB-SD0000058656
1 A. I am not. 2 Q. Do you know how extensively PCB may have been 3 utilized in Monsanto industrial processes in the '60s and 4 '50s based upon your experience with them and even running 5 the plant there for a while? 6 A. I don't know how to define extensively. 7 Monsanto, of course, used PCBs in its electrical 8 equipment, in its heat transfer equipment, its hydraulic 9 systems. 10 Q. I would assume it would, in fact, be the 11 hydraulic fluid and the dielectric fluid of choice for 12 Monsanto; would it not? 13 A. It depends on the application. 14 Q. Okay. Well, they weren't going to be buying 15 a competitor's product? Let me put it that way. 16 A. Well, economics comes to play here, also. 17 Q. Okay. 18 A. If a mineral oil in a transformer will do the 19 job, that's what they would buy. 20 Q. Well, sure, if you didn't need these special 21 characteristics of a Pydraul, it made it worthwhile to 22 spend the extra money on the fire retardant aspects of it, 23 but when you did need that kind of special characteristic, 24 that's what they would use, no doubt, right? 25 A. All things beingequal, yes, they would
75
WATER PCB-SD0000058657
1 prefer the Monsanto product. 2 Q. And I can't pronounce the name of the place 3 up there. Sauget? 4 A. Sauget. 5 Q. Sauget, Illinois. They made some PCB up 6 there. Are you aware of any sort of contamination problem 7 they now face in Illinois by that plant as a result of use 8 or misuse of those fluids? 9 A. I am not. 10 Q. And how many years were they actually 11 manufacturing the stuff there at that particular facility? 12 A. From 1935 or 6 or somewhere in there to 1977. 13 Q. You were there at that plant for a while. Do 14 you know what their process was for treating potentially 15 contaminated -- or maybe that's too strong a word -- waste 16 water streams that may have had contact and even contained 17 PCB solutions and fluids at that plant? 18 A. All the waste water from that plant went to 19 the Sauget Village municipal treatment plant. 20 Q. Okay. And do you know if that particular 21 facility had specialized treatment mechanisms for 22 treatment of industrial waste fluids? 23 A. Yes. I would -- I suspect that the word 24 specialized might fit. They were handling industrial 25 wastes from the entire community. The water that was
76
WATER PCB-SD0000058658
1 eventually released from that plant had to meet the
2 appropriate regulatory specifications. The wastes were
3 carried to an approved landfill.
4 Q. You're not aware of any problems that that
5 municipality has had subsequently wherein it has been
6 revealed that there's been some sort of downstream
7 contamination from the operation of that waste water
8 treatment facility; is that correct?
9 A. That is correct. 10 Q. Thank you, sir. I appreciate your time. Mr.
11 Bolzle may have a few questions.
12 CROSS-EXAMINATION
13 QUESTIONS BY MR. BOLZLE:
14
Q.
Mr. Papageorge, my name is Greg Bolzle.
I'm
15 representing Tim Shook and Rich Montgomery. I will try 16 not to be repetitive. If there are long silences, it's 17 simply because I'm looking at my notes and trying to avoid
18 asking you questions you've already been asked.
19 A. I understand.
20 Q. Mr. Papageorge, let me begin by talking to
21 you about tests. We've talked about a number of tests in
22 your deposition, the Swedish test, we talked about
23 peregrine falcon tests, brown falcon tests, dead birds and
24 seals tests. What I wanted to ask you is, as I understand
25 it, Monsanto did its own tests as to the potential hazards
77
WATER PCB-SD0000058659
1 of PCBs; is that correct? 2 A. Yes. We did. 3 Q. And it was Monsanto'sconclusion that PCBs 4 could be hazardous to human health depending upon the 5 length and degree of exposure; is that correct? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. And that that couldinclude peopleexposed to 8 soil contaminated with PCBs as a result of mishandling 9 depending again on length and duration of exposure; is 10 that right, sir? 11 A. Well, yes, but when I think of the word 12 exposure, I'm talking now about the amount of PCB that 13 enters the lungs through breathing, the vapors, or the 14 amount of PCB that's on a person's skin to be absorbed by 15 that skin and the amount of PCBs that might be in any food 16 that's ingested, so just having PCBs in soil, that is 17 another consideration as to how did that soil get on the 18 skin, how did that soil get into the lungs, how did that 19 soil get into the digestive system. 20 Q. Certainly. To make it simple, you wouldn't 21 want your children drinking water that was contaminated 22 with PCBs, would you, sir? 23 MR. DAVIDSON: I'm going to object and 24 instruct him not to answer that one. 25 MR. GOEBEL: Yeah. I join in that objection.
78
WATER PCB-SD0000058660
1 This is Tony Goebel. 2 Q. (By Mr. Bolzle) Now, Mr. Papageorge, you 3 testified that back in the '508, and I want to be certain 4 my facts are clear on this, back in the '50s, you were 5 working at the J.F. Queeny Plant; is that correct? 6 A. That is correct. 7 Q. And that at that plant you were one of five 8 or six general superintendents and that you became -- you 9 first became familiar with PCBs in 1956 while working as a 10 plant maintenance -- in the plant maintenance and 11 construction department; is that correct? 12 A. Well, some of it is correct, but you're 13 reference to one of five general superintendents, -14 Q. Yes, sir. 15 A. -- that was at the Krummrich plantin 1964. 16 Q. Okay. I don't mean -- I don't want to 17 confuse you. 18 A. Mm-hm. 19 Q. When you were working in the plant 20 maintenance and construction department, was that at the 21 J.F. Queeny Plant? 22 A. That is correct. 23 Q. And there you were a manager of a team of 24 workers who installed new equipment, -- 25 A. Yes, sir.
79
WATER PCB-SD0000058661
1 Q. -- correct? You testified that you became 2 familiar with PCBs as a part of your job then when 3 installing PCB-filled equipment and that sort of thing; is 4 that right? 5 A. That's correct. 6 Q. Why was it that you became familiar with PCBs 7 at that time? 8 A. Well, this is no different than becoming 9 familiar with any other materials we handle, and it's the 10 responsibility of the supervisor to inform the workers of 11 any potential problems that might occur, whether it be 12 from exposability or corosiveness or skin irritation or 13 dust inhalation, whatever the potential problem might be. 14 I don't think that this stood out as any unique need. It 15 was an ongoing situation. Information of this type was 16 conveyed during the employee safety meetings and so on 17 that are held. 18 Q. My question is, I guess, did you become 19 familiar with PCBs in about 1956 in the capacity we're 20 discussing because of the concerns about the hazards 21 associated with handling and coming into contact with 22 PCBs? 23 A. The concerns in the mishandling of the PCBs 24 in this instance as well as all other materials we were 25 handling.
80
WATER PCB-SD0000058662
1 Q. And specifically with regard to the PCBs, 2 would the mishandling -- the result of mishandling that 3 caused you concern, potential adverse effects to human 4 health? 5 A. No. It's not the resulting mishandling. The 6 purpose of conveying this information is to avoid 7 mishandling so that the worker doesn't have to undergo 8 any -- any problems with overexposure. 9 Q. What was the source at that time of your 10 information about PCBs? 11 A. There were written documents. I'll call them, 12 that were available for my review and sharing with the 13 employees. There was also available to me the personal 14 comments from the plant physician with whom I had 15 discussions, and myself, the information that I got from 16 the corporate industrial hygienist who would occasionally 17 visit the plant, and keep in mind, too, that the labels 18 had words that referred to ingestion, skin contact, 19 breathing of the fumes and so on. 20 Q. Do you have an opinion, Mr. Papageorge, 21 whether back in 1956 it was a matter of common industrial 22 knowledge the potential hazards that PCBs might represent 23 to human health as a result of mishandling? 24 A. I would suggest, yes, that there was an 25 opportunity to learn of this potential for problems if
81
WATER PCB-SD0000058663
1 mishandled. 2 Q. Mr. Papageorge, based on your familiarity 3 with the subject of PCBs and your readings over the years, 4 would you agree with me that there have been scientific 5 articles and publications available since as early as the 6 1930s that raised questions about the possible hazards to 7 human health posed by PCBs in the event they were 8 mishandled? 9 A. Well, certainly, the information was 10 available, but keep in mind again the conditions that must 11 exist to create this health situation, and that is again 12 back to the comment you made earlier about how long was 13 the exposure and how great or how intense was the 14 exposure. 15 Q. Let me turn to the Anniston, Alabama plant. 16 The pond in which you all discharged your industrial waste 17 water, you said, would be frequently bulldozed to remove 18 the contaminated sediment and the rocks in that pond. Can 19 you give me some more definite idea, Mr. Papageorge, of 20 how frequently you all bulldozed that pond? 21 A. Did I use the word "frequently?" 22 Q. Yes, sir. 23 A. Okay. I should havesaid periodically. 24 Q. Okay. 25 A. As best I recall, it would happen about twice
82
WATER PCB-SD0000058664
1 a year. 2 Q.
Okay. And just to make sure I understand
3 your use of the word "bulldozed," you didn't bury 4 contaminated sediment right there at the pond? When you 5 say bulldozed, you mean you took it out and took it for
6 burial at a landfill; is that correct? 7 A. Yeah. Maybe the word "bulldoze" is 8 inappropriate. It was really sort of a backhoe that 9 reached out and scooped up the material from the pond and
10 dropped it in these open topped steel drums. The drums
11 were then covered with their metal cover, hosed down so
12 the outside was fairly clean and then hauled to the
13 landfill.
14 Q. Now, this pond that you all used in Anniston,
15 Alabama was lined with clay; was it not?
16 A. Yes, sir.
17 Q. And that was done in order to protect -- to
18 prevent contamination of the ground water; is that
19 correct?
20 A. Yes. That's the purpose for that clay
21 lining.
22 Q. Do you know whether there was any
23 hydrogeologic studies performed by Monsanto of the area
24 where this pond sat before it was, in fact, constructed
25 and used for discharge of waste water?
83
WATER PCB-SD0000058665
1 A. That, I don't know.
2 Q. Okay. But at least as far back as 1965,
3 Monsanto understood that it had to line such a pond in
4 order to prevent contamination of the ground water; is
5 that correct?
6 A. Well, I don't -- let me just say
7 contamination of anything below the bottom of that pond, 8 whether it was ground water or soil or what have you, it's 9 really immaterial as long as we didn't contaminate
10 anything.
11 Q. Exactly. That was the point of it all,
12 right?
13 A. Yes, sir. 14 Q. And even when you all would dig out the
15 sediment twice a year in that pond, to be sure of that, 16 you would then go back and re-line that pond with clay; is
17 that correct?
18 A. That is correct.
19 Q. Now, could you describe to mewhat stepswere
20
taken by Monsanto with that pond toprevent
any leaking of
21 its contents such that it would contaminate surface water?
22 A. I don't recall any special steps that were
23 taken.
24 Q. Did you all have any leaking problems with
25 that pond?
84
WATER PCB-SD0000058666
1 A. Not that we were aware of. No. 2 Q. Did your all's waste water management at the 3 plant include regular inspections of the pond to insure 4 that it was not leaking? 5 A. Yes. These were really visual inspections to 6 see where the liquid level was and whether there was any 7 dramatic changes in it, unexpected changes which would 8 indicate there's some -- something different was going on. 9 It was not what I would call a sophisticated type of 10 monitoring that would, of course, take place today. 11 Q. Sure. How often would those inspections 12 occur? 13 A. Oh, virtually every day. The operators of 14 that pond would be out there making their observations. 15 Q. Okay. And let me take you back to 1965. Is 16 it your opinion, Mr. Papageorge, that as far back as 1965, 17 to do otherwise in the management of a pond into which 18 industrial waste water was being discharged would have 19 been imprudent and poor engineering practice? 20 MR. GOEBEL: I object to the form and -- I 21 object to the form of the question. This is Tony Goebel. 22 A. Yes. I would. 23 Q. (By Mr. Bolzle) Mr. Papageorge, there was 24 some discussion between you and Mr. Cunningham about 25 solubility of PCBs in water, and I think you estimated
85
WATER PCB-SD0000058667
1 that the solubility of Aroclor 1248 in water would be 2 somewhere around 100 parts per billion; is that correct? 3 A. That is my best estimate at this time. Yes,
4 sir. 5 Q. If you took a sample of water and you 6 discovered that there were 100 parts per billion Aroclor
7 1248 in that water, would it mean -- what would the
8 significance of that sample mean to you?
9 A. Oh, I don't know how to define your word
10 "significance." 11 Q. Let me ask it this way. Would that mean to 12 you that that sample of water was saturated with Aroclor
13 1248? 14 A.
Assuming that the laboratory has the
15 expertise to get down to these levels and that no 16 contamination has occurred in that laboratory -- and I say
17 this from my personal experience, that some numbers that 18 I've seen were incorrect to start with. I'd have to make
19 a lot of speculations regarding what conclusions I would
20 arrive when I'm giving that kind of number. I'd have to
21 know much more. 22 Q. Well, let me put it to you this way. If you
23 took a sample of water, if you personally took a sample of
24 water, under any and all conditions, satisfying your
25 requisite level of accuracy, and that sample when tested
86
WATER PCB-SD0000058668
1 showed that it had 100 parts per billion of Aroclor 1248, 2 would you take from that that the water was saturated with 3 Aroclor 1248? 4 MR. GOEBEL: I object to the form. He's 5 already said it calls for speculation. 6 A. I'd have to know if that sample that you're 7 describing for me is water alone or does it have sediment 8 still in it. It may not be visible to the naked eye. 9 Q. (By Mr. Bolzle) Sure. 10 A. And if there is sediment, then I would 11 associate the PCBs with the sediment rather than with the 12 water. So, you're asking me again to kind of speculate as 13 to what that information is telling me. 14 Q. Okay. Let me ask you to assume that it's 15 just pure water with no sediment level in it whatsoever. 16 A. Let's take the water and filter it first and 17 then analyze it, huh? 18 Q. Right. And you come out with 100 parts per 19 billion Aroclor 1248. Would that mean in your mind that 20 it was saturated with Aroclor 1248? 21 A. All right. Help me with the word "saturated" 22 now. 23 MR. GOEBEL: Wait a minute. Let me object to 24 the question, to the form of it. There's no foundation 25 and no evidence that's been afforded in this case. You
87
WATER PCB-SD0000058669
1 can go ahead and answer it if you can. 2 THE WITNESS: Well, I asked if he would help 3 me with the word "saturated." 4 Q. (By Mr. Bolzle) And I may be -- my 5 terminology may be wrong, Mr. Papageorge. I'm just 6 looking for what the significance of that 100 parts per 7 billion reading would be. Does that mean -- would that 8 reading reflect that the water is holding all the Aroclor 9 1248 it could be expected to hold? 10 MR. GOEBEL: Same objections as before. 11 A. When I gave the number 100, I had in mind a 12 situation where -- pure water, when exposed to Aroclor 13 1248, under normal room temperatures, can be expected to 14 be able to contain -- in solution and not as material 15 that's settled at the bottom or exists as globules, in 16 solution, would be expected to have about 100 parts per 17 billion in it. 18 Q. (By Mr. Bolzle) Okay. You wouldn't expect 19 that the water could hold any more than that? 20 A. Probably not, because the minute you add 21 more, it'll start settling out. 22 Q. Okay. I got you. Referring to the 23 documents, specifically Exhibits 1 and 2, Mr. Papageorge, 24 Mr. Goebel asked you a number of questions, if you 25 distinguished Aroclors 1254 and 1260 from Aroclor 1248
88
WATER PCB-SD0000058670
1 with regard to those documents. My question for you is, 2 at some point, I take it Monsanto stopped producing 3 Pydraul that contained Aroclor 1248; is that correct? 4 A. Yes. 5 Q. And when did -- did that occur in 1971? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. And why did Monsanto stop manufacturing 8 Pydraul with Aroclor 1248 in it? 9 A. Well, since they had success with the 10 phosphate ester we talked about earlier and found it to be 11 an acceptable alternate and since the facility for 12 producing the phosphate ester was in place, it was decided 13 to remove all chlorinated chemicals from the Pydraul 14 product line and use the phosphate ester to give the fire 15 resistant property. 16 Q. Were concerns about potential environmental 17 contamination with the chlorinated compounds part of that 18 decision? 19 A. Well, especially the higher chlorinated parts 20 of the 1242 were perceived to be potential sources out 21 there in the environment that resembled the kinds of 22 things that were found in 1254 and 1260. 23 Q. Okay. And that gets down to, I guess, my 24 point, and that is, at some point, Monsanto came to the 25 same concerns about 1248 -- Aroclor 1248 that they

I think my last question for you, Mr. 5 Papageorge, looking at Exhibit 9, which is these 6 invoices, - 7 A. I have them. 8 Q. -- are those customercopies oryour 9 company's copies? 10 A. Company copies. 11 Q. Okay. These are not the customer copies; is 12 that correct? 13 A. That is correct. 14 Q. And it was to the customer copies that the 15 stamp warnings of the hazardous PCBs was affixed; is that 16 correct? 17 A. That is correct. 18 Q. Okay, sir. So, by looking at these documents 19 that have been marked Exhibit 9 to your deposition, we 20 can't tell whether or not there were -- that that stamp -- 21 whether that stamp was affixed to the copies of these 22 invoices received by Rockwell, can we? 23 A.

1 No. 10, -- 2 A. I have it. 3 Q. -- specifically the first attachment, a 4 Pydraul A-200 brochure? 5 A. I have it. 6 Q. On the page Bates stamp 33,there's a section 7 on that page entitled Handling and Storage? 8 A. I see it. 9 Q. And there's a statement that certain 10 precautions should be used when handling Pydraul, and it 11 says, "Repeated or continuous skin contact should be 12 avoided and inhalation of the vapors at elevated 13 temperatures should be prevented?" 14 A. I see it. 15 Q. It also says, "There is no vapor inhalation 16 hazard associated with use at room temperature." Do you 17 see that? 18 A. Yes. I do. 19 Q. This brochure, I assume, would have been 20 dated in the late '50s, early '60s, right? 21 A. That's -- down at the lower left-hand corner 22 of that page, you will see a series of numbers. You will 23 see there a 0359 within that series. 24 Q. All right. 25 A. That tells me March of '59.
92
WATER PCB-SD0000058674
1 Q. Okay. When you, on cross-examination, 2 described mishandling and hazards to human health if 3 mishandling occurred, is this what you were referring to, 4 the repeated skin contact and inhalation? 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. And you said it was common knowledge at the 7 time about that, that if it were mishandled, that these 8 kinds of things could occur? You were referring, were you 9 not, to the -- a mishandling by the worker or the person 10 who had to transport or come into direct contact with the 11 PCB-containing fluid; is that right? 12 A. Yes, sir. 13 MR. BOLZLE: This is Greg Bolzle for Tim 14 Shook and Rich Montgomery. I'll object to that. I think 15 Mr. Papageorge has been very clear it can extend not only 16 to the people who handled it but the victims of the people 17 who mishandled it. 18 MR. GOEBEL: I think that's a 19 mischaracterization of what he said. 20 Q. (By Mr. Goebel) You can try to clarify it, 21 if you like, but you can go ahead and answer the question, 22 please. 23 A. Well, I was trying to point out that if the 24 precautions as described in this document and on the 25 labels were followed, and I have reference here to the
93
WATER PCB-SD0000058675
1 skin contact and inhalation of vapors, if those words were 2 heeded by any person handling these materials, no health 3 effects would result. 4 Q. And when you referred to mishandling, you 5 were referring to the person who would have handled the 6 material? 7 A. Well, naturally. It's the person that has no 8 respect for it, for example, and keeps putting his hands 9 in it time after time and ignores the fact that his hands 10 are getting red, the skin is getting red, and keeps doing 11 it. Eventually, he's going to get more serious problems. 12 He's going to get the chloracne we talked about, and in 13 fact, his liver could be damaged and on and on depending 14 again on how long and how often he does this. 15 Q. That's all I have. Thank you. 16 A. That's just one example I have of the type of 17 things that I would call mishandling. 18 Q. All right. 19 RECROSS-EXAMINATION 20 QUESTIONS BY MR. BOLZLE: 21 Q. Mr. Papageorge, if I could ask you a 22 question, would your definition of mishandling also 23 include a person that discharged industrial wastes in such 24 a manner that they contaminate soil and ground water and 25 surface water such that individuals not knowing of the
94
WATER PCB-SD0000058676
1 hazard could repeatedly come into contact with the PCBs? 2 MR. GOEBEL: I object to the form of the 3 question. I'm not even sure I understand what he's 4 asking. 5 Q. (By Mr. Bolzle) Did you understand my 6 question, Mr. Papageorge? 7 A. I believe I do. Let me tell you what I 8 understood. I understood you to say that this mishandling 9 as it referred to the fact that soils are contaminated and 10 individuals near the soil not knowing the contamination is 11 present could be affected? 12 Q. Yes. 13 A. There again, you're asking me to speculate as 14 to how does this contamination in the soil get into a 15 person's lungs or on his skin in such quantities over a 16 long enough period of time to create an obvious health 17 symptom. I'm in no position to guess that. 18 Q. Let me -- let me approach the question from a 19 different direction. Would you -- would your definition 20 of mishandling include depositing industrial waste water 21 which included PCBs into an unlined, leaking pond that 22 contaminated both the ground water and the surface water? 23 MR. GOEBEL: Objection. There's no 24 foundation in fact or evidence in this case to support the 25 question, and I also object to the form for other reasons.
95
WATER PCB-SD0000058677
1 Q. (By Mr. Bolzle) You can go ahead and answer 2 that question, Mr. Papageorge. 3 A. I would suggest that the condition that you 4 just described for me is something that I would call, to 5 use my earlier word, imprudent and just a wrong way to 6 handle an industrial chemical, whether it be PCBs or any 7 other. 8 Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you have any idea, by way 9 of market share and so on, what the extent of the use of 10 Pydraul was in the '60s and early '70s when it still 11 contained PCBs? I mean, did it -- was Pydraul used -- was 12 Pydraul used 90 percent of the time when hydraulic fluids 13 were used? Do you have any figures in your mind like 14 that? 15 A. I do not. All I know is that there were 16 competitive products available. I have no idea of what 17 proportion of the market the Pydraul products had. 18 Q. Do you have -- do you know whether -- or do 19 you know the extent of industry knowledge in the '60s and 20 '70s that Pydraul contained PCBs? 21 A. Well, certainly, they knew it in the '70s. I 22 have no way of knowing how many knew exactly that the 23 chlorinated hydrocarbon, as indicated on the label and in 24 the literature, was a specific -- specifically a PCB. 25 Q. But referring to Exhibit 6 that you have
96
WATER PCB-SD0000058678
1 there, --
2 A. I have it.
3 Q. -- okay, sir,regardless of whether a
4 consumer of Pydraul knew it contained PCBs, they would
5 have known in the '60s that it contained chlorinated
6 hydrocarbons and involved the hazards and the risks that
7 were listed on these labels; would they not?
8 A. Yes.
9
Q.
Okay. Thankyou,
sir.
10 MR. BOLZLE: No further questions.

Dear Sir:
Recently several newspaper and magazine articles have been published indicating that Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) have been discovered at some points in some marine, aquatic and wildlife environments. The quantities detected are said to be in the parts per million and parts per billion categories.
It is claimed that the PCBs found strongly resemble chlorinated biphenyls containing 54% and 60% chlorine by weight. Products which are sold by Monsanto under the trade names of Aroclor 1254 and 1260 do contain chlorinated biphenyls. In addition to Aroclor* 1254 and 1260, Monsanto sells certain functional fluids containing Aroclor* 1254. These include Pydraul* 625, Pydraul* AC, Pydraul* AC - Winter Grade, Pydraul* 540, Therminol FR-3 and certain dielectric formulations. Several other companies around the world also produce products containing chlorinated biphenyls.
As your supplier of Aroclor* 1254 and 1260 and formulated products containing 1254, we wish to alert you to the potential problem of environmental contamination as referred to in the newspaper and magazine articles.
We would like to point out the following additional facts.
1. Products such as Pydraul* 90, 135, 230, 312, A-200, F-9, 150 and 60, Turbinol* 153 and Therminol* FR-1 and FR-2 are not formulated with Aroclor* 1254 or 1260.
2. PCBs with a chlorine content of less than 54% have not been found in the environment and appear to present no potential problem to the environment.

We have developed, and are now tasting, new formulations to replace the Aroclor* 1254 and 1260 components in our Pydraul products. The new products appear to be equal in performance and to have similar physical properties.
We feel that all possible care should be taken in the applica tion, processing and effluent disposal of these products to prevent them becoming environmental contaminants. Of interest to you may be an article in Chemical Week, October 29, 1969 regarding water pollution standards set by each state in the Union. It ia attached. This article reflects that good manu facturing practice in the future may require that no products used by any company should find their way into waterways.
Sincerely yours,

The huge water requirements of the chemical industrynow the nation's third largest user-make water quality and availability increasingly important factors for site selectors. Legislation enacted m recent years has forced planners to pay close attention to pollution control standards.
All 50 states have had their water quality standards ap proved entirely or in pan by the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (FWPCA). Recently a staie-by-state summary of key standards was put together for the lint time. Surprisingly, it was not the FWPCA that did the job. Instead it was handled by an American Public Health Assn, t APH.A) subcommittee headed by TVA Health Director F E. Gartreil. assisted by the APHA Engineering and Sanitation Section. A portion of the study, covering standards for surface industrial water, is summarized in the tables starting on p. 30.
Contrary to widely held opinions, there is considerable variation in state standards. Take the dissolved oxygen (DO) standard, for example. Minimum allowable DO (as milli grams per liter or percent saturation) is the single most impor tant standard to chemical site evaluators. As a rough rule of thi.mb. a 2-mg./l. standard is considered to be one industry can live with comfortably, while a 6.0 mg./l. value is pegged "extremely tough."
California. Wyoming and Washington have set the stan dard at 6 mg./l. or higher. But a few states such as Con necticut. Maine. Illinois. Indiana. Massachusetts. Virginia and Wisconsin require 2 mg./l. or lower.
Other standards--notably turbidity, taste, odor, color and solids--may also be important, depending upon the nature of the chemical plant's waste effluents. These standards also ex hibit siate-by-state differences. Moreover, they are generally less specific than the straight numerical DO standards.
Although chemical plant site experts see little point in "running from tough standards." the criteria do make a difference: Plans for two nonferrous metals plants in Puerto Rico are now on the shelf, because of standards that call for a 4.5 mg./l. DO. no wastes that interfere with the esthetics of the waters and other specifications.
No compilation of ground water standards has yet been published. Ground water standards may prove important in (he future as companies are forced to use costly deep-well dis posal for wastes. Availability of ocean waste disposal services is also looming more important.
Waste Cost.: The price tag for pollution control is high. A recent FWPCA study on the organic chemicals industry esti mated that water waste-treatment facilities can increase in stalled capital equipment costs 40% or more. Between '69-'73. the organic chemical industry would have to shell out 5 182.5 million to remove 10% of its biological and chemical oxygen demand waste and 65% of its suspended solids. Removal lev els of 83%. 13% and 71%. respectively, for biologic oxygen de mand. chemical oxygen demand and suspended solids would require 5242.6 million, while 98%. 30% and 89%. respectively, would up the ante to 5608 million.
Cleaner Air Establishment of air quality standards is not nearly as far advanced as are water standards. The National Air Pollution Control Admimsirauon (NaPC.A) is still designaung regional air control regions. At last count. 16 regions had been formally designated and another 41 had been pro posed. NAPCA has issued air quality criteria and control

Dear Customer: Recently several newspaper and magazine articles have been published Indicating that Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) have been discovered at some points In some marine, aquatic and wildlife environments. The quantities detected are said to be In the parts per million and parts per billion categories. It Is claimed that the PCBs found strongly resemble chlorinated biphenyls containing 544 and b0 chlorine by weight. Products whlch-are sold by Monsanto under the tradenames of Aroclor 05 1254 and 1260 contain chlorinated biphenyls. As your supplier of Aroclor1254 and 1260, we wish to alert you to the potential problem of environmental contamination as referred to In the newspaper and magazine articles. We would like to point out the following additional facts. 1. Certain Monsanto products which are sold under the
Aroclor trademark, namely Aroclor 5060, 5442 and 5460, are not polychlorinated biphenyls. 2. PCBs with a chlorine content of less than 544 have not been found In the environment and appear to present no potential problem to the environment.

we feel that all possible care should be taken in the application# processing and effluent disposal of these products to prevent them becoming environmental contaminants. Of Interest to you may be an article In Chemical Week# October 29# 1969 regarding water pollution standards set by each state In the union. It Is attached. This article reflects the view that good manufacturing practice In the future may require that no products used by any company be lost or discharged In such a manner as to ultimately be found in waterways.

CilM,
Environment
The huge water requirements of the chemical industrynow the nation's third largest user-make water quality and availability increasingly important factors for site selectors. Legislation enacted in recent yean has forced plannen to pay close attention to pollution control standards.
Ail SO states have had their water quality standards ap proved entirely or in pan by the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (FWPCA). Recently a state-by-state summary of key standards was put together for the first time. Surprisingly, it was not the FWPCA that did the job. Instead it was handled by an Amencan Public Health Assn. (APHA) subcommittee headed by TVA Health Director F. E. Ganreil, assisted by the APHA Engineering and Sanitation Section. A portion of the study, covenng standards for surface industnal water, is summarized in the tables starting on p. 80.
Contrary to widely held opinions, there is considerable variation in sute standards. Take the dissolved oxygen (DO) standard, for example. Minimum allowable DO (as milli grams per liter or percent saturation) is the single most impor tant standard to chemical site evaluators. As a rough rule of thumb, a 2-mg./l. standard is considered to be one industry can live with comfortably, while a 6.0 mg./l. value is pegged "extremely tough."
California. Wyoming and Washington have set the stan dard at 6 mg./l. or higher. But a few states such as Con necticut. Maine, Illinois. Indiana. Massachusetts. Virginia and Wisconsin require 2 mg./!, or lower.
Other standards--notably turbidity, taste, odor, color and solids-may also be important, depending upon the nature of the chemical plant's waste effluents. These standards also ex hibit state-by-state differences. Moreover, they are generally less specific than the straight numerical DO standards.
Although chemical plant site experts see little point in "running from tough standards." the criteria do make a difference: Plans for two nonferrous metals plants in Puerto Rico are now on the shelf, because of standards that call for a 4.5 mg./l. DO, no wastes that interfere with the esthetics of the waters and other specifications.
No compilation of ground water standards has yet been published. Ground water standards may prove important in the future as companies are forced to use costly deep-well dis posal for wastes. Availability of ocean waste disposal services is also looming more important.
Waste Cost: The price tag for pollution control is high. A recent FWPCA study on the organic chemicals industry esti mated that water waste-treatment facilities can increase in stalled capital equipment costs 40% or more. Between '69-"73. the organic chemical industry would have to shell out S 182.5 million to remove 10% of its biological and chemical oxygen demand waste and 65% of its suspended solids. Removal lev els of 83%, 13% and 71%, respectively, for biologic oxygen de mand. chemical oxygen demand and suspended solids would require S242.6 million, while 98%. 30% and 89%. respectively, would up the ante to $608 million.
Cleaner Air Establishment of air quality standards is not nearly as far advanced as are water standards. The National Air Pollution Control Administration (NAPCA) is still designanng regional air control regions. At last count. 16 regions had been formally designated and another 41 had been pro posed. NAPCA has issued air quality criteria and control
ocToaan
technology data for sulfur oxides and particulate matter, win follow with similar studies for other pollutants.
Once criteria and control data have been issued for a pollu
tant and control regions have been designated, a complicated
process involving standards, hearings and implementation
and enforcement plans will be initiated that can take over a
year to produce standards.
So far. no firm sulfur oxide or paniculate standards have
emerged. But NAPCA's criteria for setting the standards sug
gest they'll be tough. The oxide entena repon. for example,
emphasizes that there are deleterious effects to man at con
centrations as low as 0.04 ppm.
NAPCA's control data reports present detailed appraisals
of vanous methods and equipment, along wuh estimated
costs. As in the case of water, the costs will be high, although
some pollutants-mainly sulfur dioxide-will have recovery
values. NAPCA is sponsoring a number of research projects
to improve technology. Pollution control is being spuned by
financial assistance programs (mandated by state law) now
operative in the following 28 states:
Arizona, Arkansas. California, Connecticut. Florida.
Georgia. Idaho, Illinois. Indiana. Maine. Massachusetts.
Michigan. Missouri. New Hampshire. New Jersey, New York.
North Carolina. Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon. Rhode Island.
South Carolina. Tennessee. Vermont. Virginia, Washington.
Wisconsin and West Virginia.
(n addition, Pennsylvania offers financial aid sanctioned by
administrative regulation. Several states, including Utah and
Maryland have legislative studies under way.
The incentives take a variety of forms. Most common are
exemption from personal property taxes (e.g.. Arkansas), fast
depreciation (Arizona), exemption from ad valorem equip
ment and structures taxes (Connecticut), exemption from lo
cal taxes for stated period of time (New Hampshire),
operating loss deductions (New York); credit against state in
come tax (Oregon).
Quantity: The large chemical complexes now in vogue
make water--and lots of it--a major site criterion. The cooler
the water is. the better, for it can reduce the investment in
heat-exchange equipment Occasionally, plants can manage
on ground water, but usually surface water is required. That
means location on or near the big, drought-resistant rivers.
There are less than 200 riven in the U. S. with minimum
flows over 50 cu. ft. per second (CW Oet. 5. '68. pp. 94-95).
For companies whose plant needs at least 100 cu. ft/second,
the list numben only 150 (excluding Alaska). Sea water is
generally avoided because of high equipment corrosion costs.
Piping water in is expensive. Duval, now opening a 1.5 mil
lion tons/year sulfur mine in the arid Northwest area, was
forced to install a 36-in.. 38-mile-long water line and a 40-
million-gal. reservoir. Cost of the water supply system hasn't
been disclosed, but it is estimated that the tab was at least sev.
eral million dollars. The adequacy of domestic water resources in the year 2000
has recently been evaluated by the Geological Survey Na
tionally, projected demand will be 173% of potentially as
sured supply. Only in three regions. New England. Ohio, and
the South Atlantic Eastern Gulf, will future water require
ments be easily met. Economic growth may be handicapped
in nine regions: Eastern Great Lakes. Lower Mississippi. Up
per Missoun-Hudson Bay, Lower Missouri, Western Gulf-
Rio Grande. Pecos. Colorado. Great Basin, and Central and
South Pacific

Dear Sir: We are writing to tell you that effective June 30, 1972, all Pydraul fluids will be a new formulation. We have decided to stop using polychlorinated terphenyls as a component in our fluids. Our new fluids will contain no chlorinated components.
In order to make a smooth transition to the new Pydraul fluids, we will continue to manufacture fluids with the current formulation until early in the second quarter of 1972. At that time we will begin phasing in-the new formulations and phasing out the old. We expect to complete this transition well before June 30, 1972. In the meantime we will make every effort to contact each of you, our customers, individually. We would like to work out with y6u the details of this transition so that it best satisfies your needs.
Yours very truly.

Osar Sir:
Confirming our previous letters on the Pydraul reformulations we will begin shipping the new Pydraul products, as present fluid inventories are depleted, within the neact 30 - 60 days. How soon you begin receiving the new formulations will depend on the inventory in the warehouse in your area.
Attached is a list of the new Pydraul products along with the present Pydraul line being replaced. The new Pydraul products are compatible with present fluids and with seals and packings in your Pydraul systems. Pricing on the new products is competitive with the present Pydraul line.
We you for your cooperation during this changeover program. As in the past, it remains our desire to serve you with the best in fire re sistant hydraulic fluids. Should you have additional questions regarding the new Pydraul line, please contact the Pydraul Fluids Specialist in your area.
Yours very truly.

Dear Sir:
In February, 1971 we announced the reformulation of our Pydraul" industrial fluids to eliminate the use of poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as components of these fluids. Since then we have reviewed our formulations and taken further steps to remove all chlorinated compounds from our PydraulR fluids. Pydraul^ fluids containing chlorinated materials have not been sold since mid-1972.
Recently the Food and Drug Administration published in the Federal Register (Vol. 38, No. 129, pgs. 18096-18104, July b, 1973) a final rule-making order regulating the sources by which polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may contaminate animal feed, food, and food-packaging materials during manufacturing, handling and storage, and limiting the levels of PCBs that may be present in animal feed, food, and food packaging materials as a result of unavoidable, environmental contamination. Attached is a copy for your use.
Because you may have purchased PydraulR fluid prior to our changeover activities in mid-1972 which may have contained PCBs, you may wish to review your procedures and inspect your facilities at this time to insure that your operations are in compliance with the new regulation. To assist you in any investigations you may care to conduct, I have attached a list identifying the PydraulR fluids which contained chlorinated ingredients and those which do not.
Proper disposal of chlorinated materials requires high temperature incineration. Monsanto has Installed a facility at its Sauget, Illinois plant and has made this service available to its customers. Information relating to this service is attached to help you should you decide to dispose of such materials in this manner.

that human exposure to PCB's from dietary sources will be maintained at safe and minimal levels. Zero tolerances,
therefore, are unwarranted and would unnecessarily deprive th* consumer of t
portico of his food supply end disrupt th* Nation's food distribution system be-
eaaas a portion of flsh. poultry, eggs, and

b. A consumer group's commit rec-
cmnrted lowering tha PCB tolerances for humi foods by a factor 5-10; while
another comment recommended that the tasnporary tolerance* should be based on trrrtffological data which would allow a
level that is deemed safe rather tin el-
loir a level that no be reasonably achieved. Tha Commissioner disagrees with both recommendations. Section 406

temporary tolaranca ba applied to tha
packaged food, rather than tha food packaging material. Tha Commissioner
rajacts this recommendation for tha fol
lowing reasons:
(1) Since the transfer of PCB'a from
packaging material to the food is de
pendant on time and conditions of ex
posure. tolerances based solely on tha
food would not provide adequate pro
tection to tha consumer, a packaged food
analyasd at tha time at packaging may
ba sntirsly free of PCB'a but by the time
It raachaa tha consumer and la finally
connuned it may hare accumulated con
siderable quantities of PCB'a If tha
packaging material ta contaminated. A
tolaranca system to which analytical
ire so danandant on many verl-
abtaa such as Unu of sampling would
not ba reasonable or adequate. (2) In
order to achieve wipnn-- with a tol-
armnea for packaged food, tha level of
PCB ta tha packaging haa to ba taken
tots account and Umlted to preclude the
potential transfer of quantities of PCB'a
to tha food that would causa tha food to
axesod Its tolaranca level. Tha fact that
tha level of PCB to packaged food ta
mated to tha level of PCB to its pack
aging. in affect, necessitate tolerance for
both tha food and tta packaging. This
would rapresent aa obvloua redundancy.
(3) a tolaranca tor pack
aged food would bo Inconsistent with tha
Intent and meaning of section 404 of tha
Padaral Pood. Drue, and Goametie Act
The packaged food does not contain un

Therefore, this aourca of food eentam-

the conclusion that current methodology

(3) It la recognized that migration rates
(actual level of pcb in food resulting
from the use of contaminated packag
ing) are affected by factori such as bar
men. type of food, package weight to
food weight ratio, and time end condi
tions of exposure. Since FDA's primary
concern Is not the fact that paper food
packaging materials contain PCB's. but
the fact that PCB's can migrate to the
food from the packaging, the use of bar
riers which prevent migration is an ac
ceptable alternative to limiting the PCB
content of paper food-packaging mater
ial. For this reason, the final order la
smmtorf th 1133.10(e) (9) to exempt

If the paper food-peckagmg material la
separated from the food by a functional
barrier impermeable to PCB migration.
Metal cans and glass bottles are obvious
examples of what constitutes a fune-
tional barrier impermeable to PCB mi
gration. Data from industry sponsored
studies have shown that materials such
as poiyvtnylldene coated paper end gias-
dna can. to varying degrees, prevent or
reduce PCB migration under test condi
tions which would favor migration. PDA
would not object to the use of flexible
materials end other materials as bar
riers provided there la no evidence of
migration of PCB's to the food. At this
time, however, there is Insufficient in
formation for FDA to list as part of tha
regulation those matarlals that are con
sidered functional barrtete. The other
factors mentioned above which affect
migration rataa may also be Important
considerations end should be thoroughly
studied. In the Interim, the temporary
tolerance for paper food-packaging
materials and tha exemption to this
temporary toleranca are considered nec
essary to assure the consumer that pack

PCB's to an avoidable degree.
and dogs fell to substantiate claims that
Aroelor 1342 does not represent a toxic
substance or that It differ* In toxicity
from the higher Arodors. Ths Commis
sioner concludes that the temporary tol
eranca for paper food-packaging mate
rials will apply to the tern "PCB" Irre
spective of which Aroelor is present as
tha contaminant.
f. Several manufacturers and trade as
sociations recommended that the tempo
rary tolerance for PCB's In food-packag
ing materials be """Rifled to that ths tolerance Is expressed as "0.388 meg/
square centimeter In that portion of the
package from which migration to the
food can reasonably be expected'*, rather
than using "parts per million" terminol ogy. The Commissioner believes that this
would not be a practical alternative be
cause: <1) Fvpriieslng the tolerance for the weight of PCB residues in terms of
unit area cf parkaging material rather
than unit weight of
material
assumes that PCB's are uniformly dis
tributed throughout the food package
and that any area of tha packaging ma
terial selected for PCB analysis would be representative of tha entire package.
It Is generally recognized that this as
sumption is not valid. (3) The migration
of PCB from package material to food
is ccsietdered to be chiefly a vapor phase
phenomenon which la related to the con centration of PCB's in the packaging
material It Is therefore not possible to ascertain which portion of the package
would be expected to contribute to the
PCB contamination of the packaged food.
For these reesoni. It la necessary to take
Into account the paper food-packaging
material In lte entirety as a potential source for tha PCB Menmiwuw of the
packaged food. Therefore, trprsmtng
the tolerance In terms of weight at
PCB's per weight of packaging material
as "parte per million'* Is a practical
means to measure the "average* PCB
level In the packaging.

Daar Mr. Logan:
Your latter requesting information on Pydraul A-200 has bean forwarded to me for reply.
Animal toxicity studies with this fluid indicate that the lethal oral dose in rats is approximately 10,000 allllgrsms per kHograa of body weight. When applied to the skin of rabbits, the lethal dose was approximately 1,000 milligrams per kilogram. Our interpretation of this data is that aeoldental ingestion of the fluid is not a hazard in view of the high oral lethal dose. The lethal doae following skin pene tration la such, however, that in the ease of worloMn, pro longed and repeated akin eontaot should be avoided. Such exposure must also be avoided to prevent skin irritation.
We also raswsnd that vapor inhalation be prevented when the fluid is at elevated temperatures. The prevention of sueh an exposure again relates to prolonged or repeated incidents rather than single massive or acute exposures. In the ease of the latter, workmen would not voluntarily subject "them selves to ooneentratlons that are hazardous for short periods.
If there is a leak in an hydraulic system containing Pydraul A-200 eueh that the fluid may be sprayed on hot or molten metal surfaces, the fluid will obviously'volatilise or decom f pose, depending on the temperatures ef the metal. Animal toxicity studies with the dsswpoeltlcn products of the compo nents ef Pydraul A-200 again iadisate that the scute hesard of inhalation of the decomposition preduets is mot serious. The fluid decomposes to acidic and phenolIs materials idileh form white clouds end are irritating to the respiratory treat and eyes to the extent that mortem will met tolerate seriously

newest lowest cost all-synthetic lire r c i / star, t hydraulic fluid
In 1951, Monsanto introduced the first synthetic fire-resistant hydraulic fluid for industry. Pydraul F-9 became the standard in its field, was listed with Underwriter's Labora tories. Today, it is the only fire-resistant fluid to have such listing. But Pydraul F-9 and the other brands of fluids that followed could deliver only a given "ceiling of performance" at a given price per gallon. Now. Monsanto offers Pydraul A-200, a completely new synthetic fire-resistant hydraulic fluid. It performs like premium-grade petroleum oiLs. gives excellent resistance to fire, and is available at a savings of 40 cents on the gallon! Pydraul A-200 takes the danger out of hydraulic fluid operations. Equipment can be run near ignition sources without worry of a sudden line burst ending m disaster. And the cost is low . . .
ROCK 00U30
WATER PCB-SD0000058747
PYORAUL A 200 IS SAFE...
In all important tests for fluid fire-resistance, Pydraul A-200 passes with flying colors. Here are the tests and the results:
HOT MANIFOLD TEST (per MIL F-7100) (Pydraul A-200 was exposed to the surface of a manifold. 1300= F.)
HIGH-PRESSURE IGNITION TEST (AMS 3150B) (Pydraul A-200 was sorayed through a small orifice at 1000 psi. passing through the flame of an oxy-acetylene torch, 6000 : F.)
LOW-PRESSURE SPRAY TEST (AMS-3150B) (Pydraul A-200 was sorayed through an orifice at low pressure, the mist passing over an ignited oilsoaked rag.)
MOLTEN METAL IGNITION TEST (Pydraul A-200 was exposed to the surface of a molten alloy, exceeding 1100- F )

PYl
A - 200 IS ECONOMICAI____
The biggest economy of any fire-resistant hydraulic fluid is one which cannot be seen--until a hydraulic line breaks in the plane, and the fluid is sprayed to a nearby ignition source. When this happens, a flammable fluid can destroy equipment, lose thousands of dollars of production, injure personnel, and even cause loss of life!
Pydraul A-200 is a kind of "chemical insurance policy" ... your protection against production loss and injury due to hydraulic fluid fire.
Pydraul A-200 is important to maintenance programs, also. "A-200" meets the important lubricat ing requirements found in premium petroleum oils--nothing has been sacrificed to achieve Pydraul A-200's excellent fire-resistance! High film strength and good anti-wear properties protect hydraulic equipment and costly components--and Pydraul A-200 is outstanding in film strength and anti-wear performance.
Low initial cost sets Pydraul A-200 in a class by itself in the field of all-synthetic fire-resistant fluids. Where safety counts, Pydraul A-200 is the finest hydraulic fluid available--at the lowest cost per gallon!
PYDRAUL A - 200 IS RELIABLE...
Four reasons why "A-200" is the fluid you can count on:
NON-THICKININO "RUOOIONMS"
Pydraul A-200 is designed to He permanent, it does not have to be inspected or replaced from month to month, or year to year A 200" does not thicken with use. will not form sludge or lose desirable properties with time.
Pydraul A-200 has better resistance to abuse--temporary overheat, bearing overload, and other stresses--than any other lire resistant fluid. It resists "breakdown." even under extreme conditions.
OOOO ANTI-RUST SH1AR STABILITY
A-200 protects metal surfaces m the presence of water. Passes rust test (ASTMD-665 A) with perfect score--no rust (10.0)
A-200 undergoes no loss of viscosity, even after many years of use in the most severe pump operations.

Laborstory viscosity measurement* ar* effected by fluid density. Because petroleum oils all have similar densities, their measured viscosities can be compared. The densities of synthetic fluids vary, however, eo the measured viscosities must be corrected if comps neons ere to be made.
In the rraph below, curve "M" is the laboratory-measured viscosity of Pydraul A-200. Curve "C" shows the viscosity-temperature relationship of Pydraul A-200. modified for the differ ences m densities between oil and Pydraul A-200. Comparing curve "C with a viscosity curve of a medium weight petroleum hydraulic oil. it is seen that the two ar* viscosity equivalents at normal operating temperatures.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
Like all specialized hydraulic fluids, certain precautions are advisable when handling
Pydraul A-200. No problems will arise when it is used as recommended.
,
Repeated or continuous skin contact should be avoided and inhalation of the vapors at elevated temperatures should be prevented. Pydraul A-200 is only mildly irritating to the eyes (but can cause pain) and like any other synthetic hydraulic fluid, it exerts a solventtype action on the skin. Where prolonged contact cannot be avoided, gloves should be wom.
There is no vapor inhalation hazard associated with use at room temperature. In brief exposure to vapors given off at elevated temperatures, no systemic effects have been found in extensive animal experimentation. Exposures of one hour to the decomposition materials showed local respiratory irritation, but no systemic effects.
Eye irritation studies after using the material full strength showed it be a mild irritant with no permanent damage to the eye tissues.
If Pydraul A-200 is splashed or sprayed into the eves, wasn thoroughly, with water. To relieve irritation, physicians have used 1% poniocaine solution as well as the opthalmie cortisone acetate solution.
Pydraul A-200 can be stored at sub-zero temperatures without damage to the fluid. Just allow A-200 to warm to room temperature, and use

Monsanto
For Specialized Engineering
In today's rapidly developing technology--engineering design in many fields requires special functional fluids that will solve a variety of problems. In applied hydraulics, aerodynamics, electronics, nucleonics, and mechanical engineering, special liquids are needed for critical tasks. Fluids must be found to dissipate heat or to convey heat; to transmit pressure or to neutralize pressure by lubrication; to slow neutrons without absorption; to withstand extreme cold; to resist vaporization and remain stable under high heat. For each application, varied combinations of properties are necessary. The key to providing fluids "tailored" for the job is synthesis-- the chemical building of basic compositions of matter designed for special physical properties. Monsanto has pioneered in the development of specialized functional fluids. For the past 10 years, Monsanto's half-century of experience in organic chemical synthesis has been called on again and again to provide liquids with special combinations of properties--for dielectric uses,, coolants, specialized hydraulics, lubrication. Today, over twenty of these fluids are in commercial use--and many more are available.
ROC* 00034
WATER PCB-SD0000058751
Here is a summary of the general physical properties of 20 selected Monsanto functional fluids. These represent the range of products now available in commercial or semi commercial quantities. In reviewing the table in the light of your own fluid, lubricant, or dielectric applications, may we call your attention to these facts:
The products shown were developed for particular applications; their properties were carefully designed for that specific use. Often these properties can be modified through synthesis or formulation.
Although developed for particular uses, in many cases the products have been found to be admirably suited to entirely different applications. For example: Fluid OS-45 III (Coolanol 45) designed for use as a high temperature hydraulic fluid, is also now being used extensively as an insulant-coolant in electronic equipment
In addition to the products listed in this table, a number of other commercial, development and research products are available. Among these are fluids designed for use as steam turbine lubricants; automobile automatic transmission fluids; high-temperature aircraft and missile fluids stable above 800F.
Others are completely new chemical liquids with interesting physical properties in search of a use.

Fluids for specialized engineering uses usually must be chemically synthesized. From knowledge of the de sired end properties--candidate compositions-of-matter are examined that chemically and physically meet the general requirements. Rarely will a "pure" compound match highly stringent specifications. The proper "pure'' compound, however, that closely approximates the needs is selected as the "base" stock; it is then modified with additives that further modify its viscosity index, its lubricity, pourpoint, or other properties.
Monsanto has available the facilities for making the widest variety of "base" stocks and additive modifiers of any chemical manufacturer. The Monsanto base stocks include the phosphate esters, many of which are unique to Monsanto, diphenyl and terphenyl and chlor inated derivatives, silicate esters and others. Available additives include corrosion inhibitors, viscosity index improvers, flow temperature depressants, and many other polyfunctional modifiers.

N OUNCE of prevention can be worth the cost of a plant or even
A .-,3' the life of a worker. You can isolate operations that could be hazardous; you can build fire walls, so that fire could be confined to.certain areas, and you can install sprinkler systems..
But the simplest and surest way to protect against hydraulic fluid
fires is to stop them before they start^--with fire-resistant Pydraul*
.. synthetic fluids. .Pydraul fluids do not support combustion.
iv
When emergencies occur, Pydraul eliminates the danger of local
fires that can damage equipment or injure workmen ... spread
fire to other locations .. . flash flame to the reservoir of a flammable -rf* fluid... damage or destroy equipment before the sprinkler sys-"'
terns activate. By their very chemical nature, Pydraul fluids are fire-resistant--from start-up though every hour of operation.

PYORAUL ts working for others...
"Two weeks after we switched to Pvdraul. an electrical control circuit of a cold chamber aluminum die casting machine failed, unknown to the operator. The oper ator continued to run the machine until the nitrogen in the accumulator unloaded into the oil reservoir and blew Pvdraul twenty feet into the air--all over the machine, operator, helper and even directly into an open pot of molten aluminum.
"Instead of a flash fire and serious burns to several workmen, as well as general
chaos in the shop, we suffered to the extent of two Pydraul-soaked workers and the
loss of 40 gallons of Pvdraul."
-
--Latter from the president of a Los Angeles die casting plant
"On Monday, October 25th, a hydraulic line hose at 1000 psi on a Cast Master die casting machine caught between two halves of the die and ruptured. Pvdraul from the line splashed on the operator, into the aluminum melting furnace, and onto walls and ceilings 30 feet away.
"Had flammable oil been used it would surely have ignited in the molten aluminum. The fire could have spread to the oil-covered operator, as happened in another plant previously. The danger of fire would have been still worse because of the presence of oil vapor in suspension in the air after it erupted from the oil line.
"The accident has proved to us conclusively the safety value of Pydraul."
--Letter from the superintendent of a Canadian di* casting operation
J
"At our plant a Lake Erie die casting machine threw a vertical main piston rod through the roof and resulted in a great volume of Pydraul being sprayed on two workmen, the surrounding area, and into a pot of molten alloy above 800F. There was no flash back from the metal pot, which would have set fire to the entire area and would have meant instant death to the two operators. Instead of this disaster, our production was back to normal within an hour."

and PYDRAUL can work for you
*:v:*acsKi35&;
If your hydraulic operations function near potential ignition sources, you need the lasting, sure protection of fireresistant Pydraul. Pydraul does not evaporate to leave a flammable residue--will not flash back from an ignition source or spread fire. This protection from fire--plus premium lubricating properties of Pydraul--guarantee to keep your machines fit for production. Pydraul fluids offer built-in fire-resistance PLUS preventive maintenance properties not contained in water-based fluids. Machines operating on Pydraul simply require less maintenance. Pydraul fluids run cleaner. They guard against corrosion and rust. You can count on Pydraul as a major tool in your plant preventive maintenance program. Pydraul fluids don't change. They don't wear out in use under normal operating conditions as do water types. If you keep maintenance records on machines operated on water-based fluids, you'll appreciate the savings you get when you switch to Pydraul.
WATER_PCB-SD000Qn5fi7.^Q
PYDRAUL fluids give you "double action " fire-resistance
ACTION ONE chemically built (active) fire-resistance
MOLTEN METAL IGNITION TEST --Fluid poured on molten metal.
Pydraul fluids are chemically synthesized from materials which resist burning. Water-based hydraulic fluids depend on the water for fire-resistance; the lubricant components are flammable. Glycol (in water-glycol fluids) and light petroleum oil (in wateroil emulsions) -- both will burn!
Compared with fresh water-based fluids for fire-resistance, Pydraul fluids seldom appear more fire-resistant; but, tests of used water-based fluids do not show the same degree of fireresistance--because flammability increases as the water snuffer evaporates from the system.
The tests described below show you some of the rigorous methods of determining fire-resistance. The medium and high viscosity fluids--Pydraul F-9, Pydraul A-200, Pydraul 625 and F/draul AC --do not flash or burn in any of these tests. The lower viscosity fluids--Pydraul 150 and Pydraul 60 may show intermittent flash ing under severe exposure, but they will not support combustion away from an ignition source.
Pydraul F-9 is the only fire-resistant hydraulic fluid ever to receive listing by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc.
HIGH PRESSURE IGNITION TEST (AMS 3150B & MIL-F7100)---Fluid sprayed at 1000 psi through flame from oxyacetylene torch, 6000 F.
RCC* 00043
WATER PCB-SD0000058760
ACTION TWO lasting (passive) fire-resistance
Pydraul fluids do not change in use--do not lose fire resistance as do water types. Pydraul fluids are homogeneous. They do not separate into two fluid layers under high use temperatures or low storage temperatures.
Ko simple methods have been devised for testing residual fire-resistance, but you can
easily perform this demonstration:
*
DEMONSTRATION METHOD
1. Dip blotter paper squares in Pydraul, water-glycol and plain water.
2. Drain off excess fluid and prop on glass dish for an
hour or two.
.
3. Ignite with a paper book match.
4. You'll see for yourself! Pydraul does not evaporate, does not bum.
5. Piece dipped in water burns normally.
6. Water-Glycol paper burns brighter, hotter, due to the flammable glycol residue.
This demonstration points out a second type of fireresistance that Pydraul fluids have and water types do not--lasting fire-resistance that protects your plant, equipment, and personnel against fire--in spite of exposure to air through breaks, leaks, or air entrained during maintenance.
In any hydraulic operation, a break can spew fluid over equipment, floors, walls, $.nd ceilings ... or a leak can produce an "innocent" puddle.* But Pydraul fluids remain fire-resistant.
Industrial fires have occurred under just these circumstances. In one incident, a machine was drained, leaving a puddle of water-glycol fluid on the floor. A welder came in to repair a piece of equipment and a spark from his torch fell into the puddle. The puddle ignited and the resulting fire damaged equipment and destroyed the control circuit panel of the machine.

You need the safety protection of fire-resistant PYDRAUL hydraulic fluids if these ignition sources are within "spraying distance" of your hydraulic operation:
Open Flame--gas burners, etc. Molten Metal
Red Hot Metal--ingots, etc. Welding Equipment
Heat Treating Furnaces--open ovens Heated Dies
Open Field Rheostats--switching arm
Pydraul fluids give you DOUBLE ACTION protection--no fire... no spread of fire to other areas ... no flash back to reservoir... no flam mable residue left on floors, walls, ceilings.
Use the survey sheet inside this page to list each hydraulic machine or operation and potential source of ignition. A fire hazard indicated on your survey sheet identifies a clear need to convert your machines to a Pydraul for DOUBLE ACTION fire protection.
PYDRAUL synthetic fluids are now used in these applications; but, the danger of hydraulic fires ex ists in many other applications if ignition sources are near.
