S. Y. Chau Canada Centre for Inland WaterB Water Quality Laboratory and Network (Ontario Region) 867 Lakeshore Road P. 0. Box 5050 Burlington, Ontario Canada Dear Dr. Chau* Your letter dated November 21 addressed to Mr. J. T. Garrett was forwarded to me for response. I have enclosed a copy of Monsanto's analytical methodology for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) which describes in detail Monsanto's approach to detection and quantification. My comments relative to your specific questions follow* 1. See Quantitation section, page 9 of the methodology. Note: When dealing with mixtures of PCBs containing two or more of the PCB products, the chromatogram is divided up into areas which represent the dominant com ponents present in each and more than one calibration curve is run. See attached chromatogram. 2. In most cases a total PCB level is reported and the pro duction grade PCB used as a standard noted, i.e., "xyz ppm PCBs calculated as Aroclor 1242" etc. In cases where the electron capture chromatogram is not similar to any commercial product the word "calculated" is replaced by "estimated". 3. Individual standards are always employed for quantita tion DSW 172402 STLCOPCB4047026 Dr. A. S. Y. Chau -2 December 22, 1972 In order to establish the precision and accuracy of the method we use to estimate the PCB content of environmental samples, a round robin testing experiment was set up. Samples were prepared by spiking water with production grade PCBs at the level of about 500 ppb. Individual preparations included blanks (no PCBs;, Aroclor 1242 only, Aroclor 1254 only, Aroclor 1260 only, all 50-50 two component mixtures and a 1/3, 1/3* 1/3 preparation containing all three Aroclors. Six samples of each mix ture were prepared, and tested by two analytical labora tories. Each laboratory used equivalent sample work up procedures (all steps as outlined in the attached Method 71-35). Laboratory A quantitated on the basis of peak height. Laboratory B quantitated on the basis of peak area. Each result, expressed in ppb of the Aroclor detected was converted to # of the total PCBs added. Analysis of variance was run on all data taken together and each lab independently. Two obviously defective samples were deleted from the data. Conclusions: a. Hie 95# confidence limits for individual results were as follows: Either Lab Laboratory A Laboratory B b. Hie repeat ability for the individual labs, based on repeat tests of samples having identical prepared compositions is as follows: Laboratory A Laboratory B + 42.0# + 11.6# c. In general. Laboratory B comes closer to properly . identifying the Aroclor present, with one exception. Hiey found Aroclor 1254 in a mixture of Aroclor 1242 and Aroclor 1260.

Pa ton B2SL B2SL B2SC Mr. W. R. Corey B2SL We have been receiving and continue to get reports from our Specialty Products marketing representatives that our former PCB customers in the U.S. are able to procure PCBs from sources other than Monsanto. Most of the activity seems to be centered around Coastal Chemical Company, Abbeville, Louisiana. In the past Coastal was a reseller of our PCB type Therminols to operators of off-shore facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. Since our withdrawal of PCBs from this application. Coastal has continued to offer PCB fluid which was variously reported to be reclaimed material, imported and/or produced for Coastal by Geneva Industries, Inc., Houston, Texas. Recently we had a report that Coastal Chemicals had pur chased a pesticide plant near Beaumont, Texas and was producing PCBs. Yesterday, December 13, Tom Gossage was told by a Geneva Industries representative that they had sold PCBs resulting from their ortho and para-phenyl phenol operations to Coastal Chemicals and had recently contacted some of our dielectric customers to evaluate plans for supplying PCBs to the industry. Additional Information indicates that Sonford Chemical Company, Port Neches, Texas, a producer of pentachloro- . phenol until early 1972, may be producing PCBs for Coastal Chemical. This facility is probably the Beaumont, Texas "pesticide plant" we heard of earlier. About two weeks ago Cummins Pa ton was Informed by Westinghouse representatives at South Boston, Virginia that our prices for transformer PCBs were too high and that they had found someone who would supply the blend of trichloro benzene and PCBs at much lower prices. Ihe source of PCB3 was described as "reputable" and "relatively small". In subsequent discussions with Hooker Chemical Company representatives, Cumming was informed that Hooker would supply the TCB and, although they knew the source of PCBs, they could not divulge the name of the producer. Ihey did indicate It was not Dow, Staufer, Hooker, Standard Chlorine, Coastal Chemical, Geneva, Sonford or Dover Chemical. DSW 172424 /I STLCOPCB4047048 Hr. W. R. Corey 2 December 14, 1972 We have speculated that the PCB source may be Velsicol or Michigan Chemical if, as Hooker indicated, Geneva is not involved. We are continuing to follow all leads and hopefully will identify the producer soon. Information relating to imports has been extremely diffi cult to acquire. We have worked closely with the Depart ment of Commerce and the Council on Environmental Quality to quantify this source. The only number available to us appeared in the Tariff Commission's annual summary which listed 6^0,610 pounds of PCBs identified as entering this country in 1971. We have not succeeded in getting any numbers for 1972 but Dr. Clarence Davies, CEQ, Informed us the Imports of PCBs peaked in early 1972 and have dropped to virtually none since then. At W. B.

The Sector Group developed the following proposals: 1. The use of PCBs in transformers and capacitors should be continued. The use in small capacitors does not provide the degree of control possible in large capa citors and every effort should be taken to develop alternative materials for this application. 2. The use of PCBs in heat transfer systems should be continued in those situations in which fire resis tance is critical, however, use in heat transfer systems involving food, drug, feed and veterinary products should be terminated. 3. The use of PCBs in hydraulic fluids for the mining industry should be continued. 4. Controls should be instituted for the manufacture, importing and exporting of PCBs and products containing PCBs. 5. Provision should be made for safe disposal. 6. Uniform labeling should be developed. 7. Safety specifications should be developed for con tainer design and transportation. 8. Materials used to replace PCBs are to be reported (identity, amount, application). ' These proposals are to be submitted by the Sector Group to the OECD Environmental Committee by December 13. The Environmental Committee will in turn submit its recommenda tions to the OECD Council, probably for its January meeting. DSW 172427 STLCOPCB4047051 Mr. W. R. Corey -2 - December 12, 1972 We expressed our concern relating to adequate control in heat transfer applications and pointed out that alterna tive non-PCB hydraulic fluids were available for the mining industry. We also expressed concern relating to the reporting of materials which have replaced PCBs explaining that as PCB suppliers we are not necessarily in a good position to know what our customers are using in their applications. Considerable discussion was centered on the continued use of PCBs in small capacitors. A group, apparently led by Switzerland, was strongly promoting the banning of PCBs in this application. It appears a compromise was worked out permitting PCB use in small capacitors and some heat transfer systems. The continued use in heat transfer systems was strongly supported by the French representatives. It was recognized that the majority of the member nations had no statutes to support the proposed actions, therefore, reporting on items 4 and 8 would not begin until 1974. W.

Hardin Vice Chairman of Board Halston-Purina Company Checkerboard Square St. Louis, Missouri 63183 Dear Dr. Hardint Because of our mutual concern relating to the possibility of unintended presence of polychlorinated biphenyls in some industrial hydraulic fluids it appears appropriate that %e review at this time the findings of our respec tive laboratories. Attached is a table which summarises the current infor mation available to Monsanto. It is encouraging to note that, despite the sophisticated analytical procedures required snd the 3light differences in methodologies employed by the two laboratories, similar results have been obtained. The results also indicate that Monsantof8 reserve samples, Raisfcon-Furina'a Sparks, Nevada cample and the sample from a sealed drum randomly selected from inventory in a public warehouse are all free of any polychlorinated biphenyls. On the other hand, the presence of polychlori nated biphenyls in samples from the other Ralston-Purina locations is disturbing. We have reviewed our available records to determine the types of old formula Pydrauls delivered to Battle Creek, Michigan) Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania end Sparks, Nevada in the past. These records reveal that four drums of old formula Pydrauls were delivered to Sparks, Nevada in January, 1972 and returned unopened in June, 1972. Significantly, the sample of new Fydraul from this loca tion has no detectable polychlorinated biphenyls. The polychlorinated poiyphenyls identified in the Battle Creel:, Michigan and Hechanicsburg, Pennsylvania camples are the types associated with the previous Pydraule used at these locations. DSW 172438 x* - STLCOPCB4047062 Dr. Clifford M. Rerdin 2 - December 7, 1$72 After seriously reviewing this information it is our considered opinion that polychlorinated biphenyls detected in the samples analyzed were not contained in shipments of our new formulations but were introduced by some means of contamination, perhaps in the sampling or analytical processes, Ve wanted to relate our findings and opinion concerning the to you.

Stevens, P.E. Director, Bureau Water Quality Management Division of Pure Waters New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Albany, New York 12201 Dear Mr. Stevens* Your letter dated November 22 and addressed to the President, Monsanto Company, has been forwarded to me for response since I have been intimately involved in the study of polychlorinated biphenyls (FCBs) and their impact on the environment. We appreciate and share your concern for the environment and, as we have tried to do with other interested govern mental agencies, we want to be as cooperative as we can in your present efforts. Monsanto*a current policy, being implemented worldwide, and in which the U.S. Government's Interdepartmental Tack Force on PCEs concurs, is to continue sales of PCBs only to customers whose Intended use is as dielectric fluids in capacitors and transformers, where continued use is considered critical since alternative fluids with required properties are not presently available. . There are two special situations. One is in Qermany where limited continued sales of PCB-containing hydraulic fluid for use in coal mines will continue through the end of the year because state officials are concerned about fire hazards and have not approved any PCB-free materials as alternatives. In the second situation, we have been ordered by the U.S. Department of Commerce under the Defense Production Act to make a limited volume sale in the interest of rational defense. Neither of these situations ought to affect New York or the Great Lakes area. DSW 172441 STLCOPCB4047065 Mr. Donald B. Stevens -2 - December 7 1972 A3 requested In your letter, I have enclosed a list of the uses that have been made of PCBs of which we are aware. Terminations of sales to the various applications began in the U.S. in mid-1970 and were phased out approximately as follows* Open system applications such as coatings, adhe sives, wax extenders, plasticizers. Inks, cutting oils, etc., were terminated In August, 1970* Replacement of PCBs In the carbonless copy paper application began In the third quarter of 1970 and sales were ended in early 1971 The reformulations of Industrial hydraulic fluids to eliminate PCBs began in mid-1970 and were finally completed by April, 1971. Incidentally, I am not aware of the use of PCBs in aviation hydraulic fluids. Sales to heat transfer systems in food processing applications were terminated by August, 1970J in food related and animal feed applications in the third quarter, 19715 and during 1972 sales ended to all other heat transfer applica tions. Sales as industrial fluids in vacuum pump and turbine service were terminated early in 1972* The concern over PCBs in this country has focused upon Monsanto. We feel, however, as you approach your task several items Ehould be called to your attention. Limited recent data available from the U.S. Tariff Com mission confirms entry of PCBs into the United States from foreign sources. Given our attempt to act responsibly, we share with you the concern this causes. Tariff classi fications make it difficult to determine in what quantities or for how long such importe have existed. You refer in your letter to Monsanto as the only United States manufacturer of PCBs. Unconfirmed reports from normally reliable sources indicate that PCBs have been and are being produced and marketed by other nanufacturers in this country. DSW 172442 STLCOPCB4047066 Hr. Donald D. Hughes -3- December 7, 1972 Also, preliminary studies indicate that at least certain configurations of PCBs are likely to be formed as wastes are processed in municipal waste treatment facilities, and cay even occur naturally in nature. We mention these matters because we feel it important for you to realize the complexities of the task which you are undertaking. We hope this information will be useful to you as you begin your PCB inventory. Sincerely, W. B. Papageorge Manager Environmental Protection Functional Product Groups WBP/bt cct Dr. Edward J.

N Y 12201 November 22, 1972 Henry Diamonc Commiss'oner President Monsanto Company 800 N. Lindberg Blvd. St. Louis, Mo. 63166 Dear Sir: Re: Polychlorinated Biphenyls The Great Lakes Water Quality Board and the International Joint Commission have become concerned with the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the aquatic environment of the Great Lakes. This has manifested itself in the form of a request which states "Governments should inventory and regulate the disposal of existing stocks and act to control importation of PCBs or PCB containing substances and develop programs to control the contribution of PCBs to surface waters by either direct discharge or fallout." New York State is vitally concerned in this because it borders both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and in addition borders the Niagara River and portions of the St. Lawrence River which are also within the jurisdiction of the Great Lakes Water Quality Board and the International Joint Commission. Our present concern is to inventory existing stocks. We realize that while Monsanto Company is the only United States manufacturer of PCBs, there are foreign producers and their products could be imported to New York State. Originally there were many uses for these materials but the indications are that because of the widespread concern with the environment, the company has recently restricted its sale. . As a base on which to start our inventory, it would be helpful if you could give us a list of the uses that have been made of PCBs and whether they are still sold for that purpose. The materials appear to be used directly in heat transfer equipment such as heating and cooling coils, electrical transformers and DSW 172446 STLCOPCB4047070 President, Monsanto Company -2- November 22, 19'.'2 capacitors and possibly in some airplane hydraulic systems. They also have been an ingredient in such diverse products as industrial paints, lubricants, cardboard sealants, putties, soil stabilizers, carbonless carbon papers, protective coatings, adhesives, waxes, varnishes, plasticizers, and many others. if they are no longer sold for that purpose, it would be helpful if you could indicate approximately when such sales were discontinued. I realize that there are many secrets in the business world. It is hoped that this request is so framed as not to be in the area of confidential and yet will be specific enough to be of assistance to us in making a survey and inventory in New York State.

As you probably are aware, sales by Monsanto Company in your State of these materials have been terminated for all users except as a dielectric fluid In capacitors and transformers in which fire resistance is critical. We have never utilized the services of distributors in the marketing of dielectric fluids. I regret I cannot send you the names of our current di electric customers since Monsanto considers the list to be confidential and it is our firm policy not to divulge this type of information. In your letter you refer to Monsanto Company as the only manufacturer in the U.S. of polychlorinated biphenyls. It may be of considerable interest to you that informa tion available from the U.S. Tariff Commission Indicates that polychlorinated biphenyls are being Imported into this country. Furthermore, unconfirmed Information from normally reliable sources also indicates that at least one additional U.S. manufacturer Is producing and selling polychlorinated biphenyls In this country.

Hardin Vice Chairman of Board Ralston-Purina Company' Checkerboard Square . St. Louis, Missouri 63188 . Dear Dr. Hardin: Because of our mutual concern relating to the unintended pre sence of polychlorinated biphenyls in Monsanto's newly formulated fire resistant industrial hydraulic fluids (Pydrauls) it appears appropriate that we review at this time the findings of our laboratories. Attached is a table which summarizes the current information available to Monsanto. It is encouraging to note that, despite the sophisticated analytical procedures required and the slight differences in methodologies employed by the two laboratories, relatively excellent agreement prevails for those samples analyzed by both laboratories. The results also indicate that Monsanto's reserve samples, Ralston-Purina's Sparks, Nevada sample and the sample from a sealed drum randomly selected from inventory in a public ware house are all free of'any polychlorinated biphenyls. On the other hand, the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls in samples from the other .Ralston-Purina locations is both unquestionable and disturbing. DSW 172478 STLCOPCB4047102 Dr. Clifford M. Hardin 2 November 27, 1972 We have reviewed our available records to determine the types of old formula Pydrauls delivered to Battle Creek, Michigan; Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and Sparks, Nevada in the past. These records reveal no old formula Pydrauls were ever delivered to Sparks, Nevada. Significantly, the sample of new Pydraul from this location has no detectable polychlorinated biphenyls. The polychlorinated polyphenyls identified in the Battle Creek, Michigan and Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania samples are the types associated with the previous Pydrauls used at these locations. After seriously reviewing this limited Information it is our considered opinion that the samples analyzed were in some manner contaminated. If your company desires,our laboratory representatives would be available to continue to cooperate in the development and execution of a sampling and analysis program to conclusively establish the sources of PCB contamination.

Washington, D.C. 20006 Dear Terry: In response to the questions raised in your letter dated October 25 we have the following comments to offer. Monsanto's policy with respect to the export of bulk PCBs is the same as Monsanto's domestic U.S. PCB policy. We have done what we feel legally permissible and appropriate to confine all such sales, including domestic U.K. sales and export sales from the U.K., to customers whose use is for dielectric applications in the transformer and capacitor industries. ' . Two exceptions exist. There are limited sales of PCBcontaining hydraulic fluids for use in equipment by the German mining industry where State officials are extremely concerned about fire hazards, lack approved alternate materials and have been fully informed about the environ mental concerns about PCBs. Also, as you have been advised, we have been ordered under the Defense Production Act of 1950 to make a limited volume sale of a PCB-contalning product in the U.S. because of its importance to our national defense. Our foreign sales policy is identical to our U.S. policy -- with the exceptions just'noted. DSW 172488 STLCOPCB4047112 2 We are unaware of facts which would indicate our policy is not effective and are, at this time, therefore, satisfied our policy: is being observed by our customers. You must appreciate, however, that we cannot guarantee that some customer may not have violated our policy. To our know ledge this has not occurred. We hope this response is helpful to you.

I have enclosed a copy of the specifications drawn up for this unit and I have the following general comments to offer: a) Capacity - Incinerators of this type are normally rated for a given heat release. The nominal capa city of the Krummrich Plant incinerator is 1,250 lbs./hr. of Aroclor 1242. Ihis corresponds to a heat release of 13M BTU/hr. b) Feed Types - This Incinerator was designed for a full range of chlorinated and non-chlorinated products. Still bottoms, solvents of various sorts, material containing lime--virtually any flowable material--can be fed to this incinerator. Because Borne of the feed material was to contain lime (up to 2j6), the refractory had to be care fully chosen. The original refractory proved unsatisfactory. A high alumina (high cost) brick is now being considered for replacement following an extended test period. PCBs caused leaching of silica from original brick and thus caused premature failure. c) For HC1 Gas Disposal - A scrubber system wa3 in stalled. A venturi scrubber is used to assure * wetting of particulates. A packed column fol lowing the venturi is used to scrub out the HC1. DSW 172494 ./ STLCOPCB4047118 Mr. J, J. Kirby -2- November 17, 1972 The materials of construction for a system such as this become exotic (see the specification sheet). d) Oxidation Temperature - This must be coupled with residence time in the oxidizer. Both are needed for complete PCB destruction. Higher chlorination levels require higher temperatures for destruction. Ihe Krummrich incinerator is designed for 2800P (for Aroclor 1260). Normal operating temperatures are in the range of 2200-2500^?. Residence time is about 2.3 seconds. e) Supplier of Equipment - John Zink Company, P. 0.

The lot3 involved were also produced after those which, at one time, were questioned by General Motors and which we conclusively demonstrated did not contain PCB3. Status of our investigation is as follows: Analyses by our laboratory of reserve samples of the four lots involved indicate no PCBs are present. Three of these samples were sent to Ralston-Purina. Their results con cur that no PCB3 are present. One sample taken from a sealed drum from our warehouse wa3 also found to be free of PCBs. Sealed drums representing all lots involved are available if we desire to do more analyses. " Two samples of Ralston-Purina material, one from Battle Creek, Michigan and the other from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, were received by our laboratory. Our laboratory, U3ing its normal analytical methodology and RalstonPurina*s method, found PCBs present at levels that indicate agreement with Ralston-Purina*3 original report. Our laboratory information indicates the samples were contaminated with old formula Pydraul3 previously used at the Ralston-Purina locations. I had called Dr. Kardin, as promised, on Thursday, October 26, to inform him of our reserve sample results and also to tell him the two laboratories were exchanging samples to confirm each other's findings.

Ward Assistant Staff Engineer Plant & Environmental Engineering General Motors Corporation General Motors Technical Center Warren, Michigan 48090 Dear Bill: Jerry Davidson has informed me of your interest in de sign information relating to our PCB incinerator. I have enclosed a copy of the specifications drawn up for this unit and I have the following general comments to offers a) Capacity - Incinerators of this type are normally rated for a given heat release. The nominal capa city of the Krummrich Plant incinerator is 1,250 lbs./hr. of Aroclor 1242. This corresponds to a heat release of 12^ BTU/hr. , b) Feed Types - This incinerator was designed for a full range of chlorinated and non-chlorinated products. Still bottoms, solvents of various sorts, material containing lime--virtually any flowable material--can be fed to this incinerator. Because some of the feed material was to contain lime (up to 2$), the refractory had to be care fully chosen. The original refractory proved unsatisfactory. A high alumina (high co3t) brick is now being considered for replacement following an extended test period. PCBs caused leaching of silica from original brick and thus caused premature failure. DSW 172528 ? 6 STLCOPCB4047152 Mr. William P. Ward -2 November 3, 1972 c) Fbr HC1 Gas Disposal - A scrubber Bystem was Installed. A venturi scrubber Is used to assure wetting of particulates. A packed column fol lowing the venturi is used to scrub out the HC1. The materials of construction for a system such as this become exotic (see the specification sheet). d) Oxidation Temperature - This mu3t be coupled with residence time in the oxidizer. Both are needed for complete FCB destruction. Higher chlorination levels require higher temperatures for destruc tion. ' The Krummrich incinerator is designed for 2800? - (for Aroclor 1260). Normal operating tempera- fcures are in the range of 2200-2500?. Resi dence time la about 2.5 seconds. e) Supplier of Equipment - John Zink Company, P. 0.

Stapleton E2SL B2SL B2NA E2SL B2SA The expression "Knowing Losses" ia increasingly being applied to describe certain PCB losses from any source. Since it is a new expression, questions relating to its cleaning continue to arise. The tens appears to have originated within EPA-Washington, probably with Dr. John Buckley. It is used by Dr. Buckley to describe those PCB losses directly attributable to current known sources, for example, our manufacturing activities, losses from leaky drums, escape from faulty equipment, etc. In other words, "knowingly*discharged. The term "Unknowing Losses" is used to describe PCBs which are present as the reetilt of losses which occurred in the past and have left a PCB residue which continues to be detectable. The EPA has accepted the presence of residual PCBs recognizing they will be detectable for a long time and is primarily interested in controlling current losses. , V. B.

Papageorge - B2NA October 23, 1972 PCB - RALSTON-PURINA W. R. Corey - B2SL J. F. Stapleton - B2SA Mr. C. P. Cunningham On Friday, October 20, W. R. Corey, W. B. Papageorge. and P. S. Park met with the following Raiston-Purina representatives: Dr. C. A. Hardin, Vice Chairman of the Board; Mr. M. C. Bahle, Assistant to the Chairman of the Board; and Mr. J. A. Fraser, General Counsel. At the beginning of the discussion. Dr. Hardin did not appear to have a very good understanding of FCBs or their characteristics. Our discussion, together with the reading of material which we left with him, should help him to put the matter in proper perspec tive. Wink Corey re-emphasized to Dr. Hardin that Monsanto will cooperate with Ralston-Purina concerning its PCB problems to the extent that legal considerations do not require us to do otherwise. Monsanto's general worldwide program of restricted PCB sales to approved dielectric customers was outlined. The possibility that exceptions to this policy could occur was discussed. No customer names or specific situations were revealed. In response to Dr. Hardin's request for a list of the dielectric customers, he was informed that Monsanto's policy prohibited the sharing of this type of information with anyone, including governmental regulatory agencies. This response did not appear to bother him. During this part of the discussion Dr. Hardin asked if the number of customers was nearer 30, 300 or 3,000. He wa3 told it was near 30. A copy of the General Electric comments filed with the Federal Interdepartmental Task Force on PCBs, which was left with Dr. Hardin, did contain the names of six or eight transformer manufacturers who use askarel fluid. Mr. Fraser asked what assurances we could give relating to the control of PCBs by our customers and in turn their customers. We suggested that representatives of the capacitor and transformer industries would be better qualified to speak for the industry. In addi tion, we recommended that the American National Stan dards Institute (ANSI) Committee C-107, which is addressing itself to this problem, be contacted. DSW 172551 7 STLCOPCB4047175 Mr. C. P. Cunningham -2 October 23, 1972 Mr. Fraser asked if Monsanto had a program for helping customers with PCB problems. He was reminded that legal considerations place some limitations on our efforts but we tried to be helpful wherever possible. Mr. Fraser indicated that he believed Monsanto's assistance to Ralston-Purina in the Maine poultry contamination inci dent was inadequate. Dr. Hardin is extremely interested in preventing a repeat of the Maine incident in any of Ralston-Purina1s operations worldwide. We reminded him that the PCB problem is worldwide and we reviewed with him the pro blem of imports to this country, the evidence of PCB being produced by a small T7.S. chemical firm and the names and locations of the current foreign producers. We shared with Dr. Hardin our estimate that Bayer in Germany was following Monsanto's program and is about one year behind us; Prodelac, representing Progil and Kuhlmann in France, is only recently taking steps to control PCBsj and the Italian and Spanish producers have shown no concern for the problem. Dr. Hardin expressed his personal opinion that PCBs should be totally banned and asked if any work is under way for the development of alternative dielectric fluids. We assured him that considerable research has been.and is being conducted but at present no acceptable substitute has been found. We also reminded him that if a fluid were found to be suitable it would take about three years before all of the product development, environ mental impact, and toxicity studies were completed and the product was finally accepted. Dr. Hardin indicated that Ralston-Purina was developing a very extensive program for evaluating its operations and its suppliers* operations for effective control of PCBs and wanted to know if Monsanto would be willing to help in the development of this program. We suggested that after Ralston-Purina representatives had reviewed the reading material we had given them that they inform us of any remaining specific needs and we would seriously consider their request, subject to the limitation out lined earlier, At the end of our discussion Dr. Hardin informed us that his laboratory had tentatively identified PCBs (300 ppm) in a sample of our new Pydraul (phosphate ester base;. Y7e assured him that no PCBs are used in the formulation DSW 172552 STLCOPCB4047176 Mr. C. P.

The sale of PCB-type Pydrauls to the German mine industry is scheduled to terminate on November 30, 1972. One of the formulations involved also con tains PCT and is included in this exception. 2. The sale of Therminol FR-1 to Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is now planned for termination on November 7, 1972. 3. Sales of dielectric fluids to Eastern Europe are made under special requirements identical to those used for other European customers. 4. The heat transfer system located at the J. F.

All Pydrauls sold In Canada through February, 1971 were FC3 type. 3* In January, 1971# at a pydraul sales policy meeting In St. Louis, Dave was Informed of the reforsulatlon program and was told not to return the old formula material to the U.S. but to continue to sell in Canada. 4. Also in January, 1971# Dave received a memo froa Iora Johnson describing reformulation schedules and Bussesting that all existing inventories be sold In the next 60 days. 5. Beginning in mid-1971 Pydrauls shipped from the U.S. directly to Canadian customers were the FCT type. Pydrauls sold from Canadian Inventory continued to be FCB type. 6.

Stohr B2SL E2SP B2SC B2SA A3SB As requested I have attempted to summarize all known information relating to Ralston-Purina's recent Interest in Monsanto's Pydrauls. Raiston-Purina's concern apparently was first stimulated by their involvement in the North Carolina fishmeal incident last summer and became greater following a PCB-poultry feed Incident in Maine In February, 1972. Jerry Davidson has been discussing Pydrauls with Messrs. Bill McCollister and Paul Brauch of Ralston-Purina's Engineering Depart ment. A memorandum to Pile summarizing activities up to April, 1972 was written by Jerry (a copy Is attached). In addition to the offer to incinerate returned used Pydraul fluid free of charge, Jerry also offered to accept with full credit any unused, unopened drums. Since April six Ralston-Purina plants have returned material. In January, 1972 Paul Brauch had requested samples of our new phosphate ester Pydrauls (Pydraul 90E, Pydraul 230C and Pydraul 312C) Indicating that tests would be conducted. On October 4 Jerry was Informed that feeding studies were conducted with chickens and these Pydrauls were determined to be non-toxic. Paul Brauch asked If they could use Pydraul 30E. George Levinskas was con sulted and recommended that because of our demyellnation studies that Pydraul 30E not be used In feed applications. Jerry was asked if Pydraul 29ELT could be used and he advised Mr. Brauch it should not be used. During this conversation Mr. Brauch informed Jerry that Mr. Cliff Harden, former Secretary of Agriculture and presently Vice President, Ralston-Purina, was personally interested In Monsanto's Pydrauls, particularly the formulations containing PCBs, and was very disturbed that Monsanto had not offered free replacement fluid. Mr. Brauch indicated Mr. Hardin planned to discuss this matter with Monsanto's upper management. Also, on October 4 I received a call from Dr. M. Cover, Head, Veterinary Services, Ralston-Purina, who asked me what the letters "LT" In Pydraul 29ELT meant. I told him I thought they indicated "Low Temperature" but I would confirm this understanding and call him back. I contacted Jerry Davidson who assured me LT referred to "Low Temperature." VJhen I called Dr. Cover back as promised, I attempted to get more Information from him regarding his interest In Pydraul 29ELT but he was not responsive. He would only indicate they were reviewing all of our new Pydrauls. DSW 172573 STLCOPCB4047197 Mr. H. S. Bergen October 6, 1972 Page 2 Back in March, 1972 Ralston-Purina8 legal representatives con tacted Rod Harris to complain that Monsanto's representatives were not cooperating in determining the source of PCB in the Maine poultry incident. Ralston-Purina suspected that hydraulic fluid from a front end pay-loader was the source of PCB and requested detailed information on analytical methodology and Pydraul formula tions. In early April Dick Stohr and Scott Tucker met with Ralston-Purina representatives at their headquarters and informed them that the old Pydraul fluids were mixtures of PCB, phosphate esters and mineral oil. Although we had no specific analytical methodology, Scott discussed possible approaches for determining phosphate esters in animal feed samples. We have received no further information from Ralston-Purina relating to the Maine incident. Ralston-Purina has purchased relatively small quantities of Pydrauls. Twenty locations are involved with 1971 purchases of 18,000 pounds and 1972 purchases of 10,500 pounds. Most of the applications are in air compressors. In summary, Ralston-Purina has a program for replacing the old Pydraul fluids; has evaluated Pydraul 90E, Pydraul 230C and Pydraul 312C and found them acceptable; six of their plants have returned old Pydraul fluids; nine have ordered the new Pydrauls; we have advised against the use of Pydraul 30E and Pydraul 29ELT; Mr. Hardin believes Monsanto should supply replacement fluids as well as dis posal service and we have no information relating to the source of PCB in the Maine poultry incident.

Paton informed me of your desire to sell used Pydraul 312 drained from diecast machines. As you know, Pydraul 312 contains polychlorinated biphenyls (FCBa) os major fire resistant components. PCBs have been the subject of considerable Interest regarding their build-up and Impact on the environment. Interest In PCBs by various governmental agencies has been considerable and has resulted in the formation of an interdepartmental task force to evaluate PCBs. In May, 1972 the task force issued a report summarizing the PCB study. I have enclosed a copy in the event you have not seen it. In our desire to reduce the entry of FCBs into the environ ment we discontinued the sale of Pydraul 312 and have now replaced it with a fluid which contains no chlorinated hydrocarbons. This reformulation of Pydrauls is well- known to all potential users of fire resistant hydraulic fluids and I personally doubt that any would be interested in the purchase of your material. With all this concern over PCBs and the environment I strongly recommend that you dispose of the used Pydraul 312 by incineration In a unit designed to reach the high temperatures required. You may wish to consider sending your material to Monsanto for disposal. The cost of disposal is five cents per pound received. This does not include DSW 172578 STLCOPCB4047202 Kr.

Polychlorinated terphenyls were present In Pydraul 312A as a major fire resistant component. Polychlorinated biphenyls were found to be present in trace amounts as contaminants* Neither PCBs or PCTs are used as ingredients in the for mulation of Fydraul 312C. In addition, these materials are not present in the processing equipment used in Its manufacture. In fact, except for electrical transformers and capacitors, there are no FCB3 or PCTa present In the plant In which Pydraul 312C is formulated. To the best . of our knowledge and belief there are no PCBs or FCTs present In Pydraul 312C. Studies to determine the effect of PCBs on aquatic life have not established that PCBs are toxic to fresh water fish. Studies Involving PCTs have not been extensive but limited work conducted for Konsanto Indicate that they are less toxic than PCBs. It appears that the only well- documented effect is the build-up of PCBs in the tissues of fish exposed to waters containing even very low concen trations of FCBe. .

Johnson 702-B Hamlin Oakland University Rochester, Michigan 48063 Dear Ms. Johnson: Your letter dated September 19 and addressed to Mr. Edward J. Dock had been fomuarded to me for response since I have been in timately Involved in the study of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their, impact on the environment* We appreciate your concern for the environment and concur with your belief that the use of PCBs should be restricted. In fact, several years ago, when increasing evidence indicated that PCBs were being identified in the environment and may be having some effect on some species of wildlife, Monsanto launched a program which we believe has significantly reduced the chances of PCBs escaping into the environment. The program, which Monsanto voluntarily implemented worldwide, consisted of a planned termination of sales to those applications in which control of escape to the environment was impractical. We have now reached that point in the program in which the only sales being made are to closed system uses such as capacitors and transformers in electrical systems for which a commercially avail able fire-resistant alternative fluid is not available. In conjunction with the restricted sales program we have kept our customers informed, by letters, bulletins, discussions and labels, of the need fol* extreme care which should be taken to prevent any PCBs from entering the environment through spills, leakage, use, disposal, vaporization or otherwise. We have also made available to our customers a used fluid disposal service which utilizes high temperature incineration for the complete destruction of PCBs. SW 172601 V STLCOPCB4047225 Ks. Diane K. Johnson September 27, 1972 Page 2 You may ask "Why not discontinue the manufacture and sale of these products completely?" Ihe answer i3 that in applications such as capacitors and transformers the stability of the PCBs at high temperatures and their fire-resistant properties are vital in protecting public safety. At this time there 8re no alternative materials available which posses the unique combina tion of properties in the PCBs. Hie electrical industry, Monsanto, and other chemical companies have already spent significant time and effort in looking for alternatives which would not create environmental problems in case of accidental leakage. At this stage these efforts have not been successful but the search will continue and I am confident that substitutes will be found in the future. In the meantime, we believe that our policy of re stricting sales to vital closed systems, collecting and incin erating used fluids and working with our customers to handle the product correctly to avoid spillage and diecharge to the environment is in the best interest of the general public. You refer in your letter to the elimination of the use of PCBs in Japan and the United Kingdom. It is my understanding that PCBs have not been totally banned in Japan but have been placed under severe restrictions with some critical uses still being permitted. For example, the Government's electrically operated railway system will continue to use transformers containing PCBs because of important safety considerations. In the United Kingdom Monsanto is the sole supplier of PCBs and the program we have in that country is identical to the U.S. program. I have enclosed a copy of a report entitled Polychlorinated Biphenyls and the Environment issued in Kay by the Federal Interdepartmental Task Force on FCBs. In my opinion this report is the best summary of the PCB activities worldwide. You will note that excellent cooperation between industry, government and the scientific com munity has resulted in a control program which dramatically re duces the amount of FCBs which enter the environment but provides for the continued use of PCBs in closed systems in which fire and explosion resistance are critical. I hope you find this information informative and useful. can be of further service please let me know. \ Sincerely, If I W3F/bt V/. B.

Roehr Brussels In response to your telex request to J. H. Davidson for infor mation about Konsantofepolychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) incinerator, the following informstlon may be of Interest; 1. Capacity - Incinerators of this type are normally rated for a given heat release. The nominal capacity of the Monsanto Incinerator Is 1,250 lbs./hr. of Aroclor 1242. This corresponds to a heat release of 13^ BUT/hr. 2. Feed Types - This incinerator was designed for a full range of chlorinated and non-chlorinated products. Still bottoms, solvents of various sorts, material containing lime--virtually any flowable material can be fed to this Incinerator.- Because some of the feed material was to contain lime (up to 2^), the refractory had to be carefully chosen. The original refractory proved unsatisfactory. A high alumina (high cost) brick Is now being considered for replacement following an extended test period. PCBs caused leaching of silica from original brick and thus caused premature failure. 3. For KC1 Gas Disposal - A scrubber system was installed. A venturi scrubber is used to assure wetting of parti culates. A packed column following the venturi Is used to scrub out the HC1. 4. Oxidation Temperatures - This must be coupled with residence time In the oxidizer. Both are needed for complete PCB destruction. Higher chlorination levels require higher temperatures for destruction. The Monsanto incinerator is designed for 2,80(PF (for Aroclor 1260). Normal operating temperatures are in the range of 2,200-2,500F. Residence time is about 2.5 seconds. * DSW 172603 STLCOPCB4047227 Mr, S. Roehr September 27, 1972 Page 2 5.

A tight maintenance program not only pro tects the environment, but keeps employees comfortable, the working area clean and the system running smoothly." Since Fydrauls could be used in food, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, potable water and breathing air systems, the following paragraph is recommended.

Ingle, dated 9/5/72 Mr. George Ingle - 1920 It appears to me that Mr. Kaiser is confusing ineffi cient open pit burning with high temperature incinera tion. Open burning at low temperatures will result In the vaporization of PCBs and lead to dispersement in the environment. Incineration at temperatures above 800C will lead to total destruction to H20, C02 and HC1. We suggest operating at temperatures above 2000P. A typical set of operating Instructions for our incin erator at the W. G. Krummrich Plant, Sauget, Illinois, is as follows: Temperature 2700F, sojourn time 1.5 seconds, 2# excess oxygen. The resulting gases are scrubbed to remove the HC1 gas and prevent atmospheric pollution. Hie weak acidic solution Is neutralized by combining with plant effluent of high alkalinity. We see no need for further testing. Our tests were conducted by the Incinerator designer. Hie John Zink Company, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The required technology Is easily obtained.

Kada - Tokyo Sfe do not have any data relating to the conditions re quired for the total destruction of polychlorinated terphenyls (FCTo) by incineration. It is reasonable to assume that there is considerable similarity to FCBs. We have incinerated mixtures of PCB and FCT at the usual PCB conditions and experienced no difficulties. With low solubilities it would appear that burial in approved landfills not located near water would be a practical method for disposal but certainly not the preferred method. Br. Scott Tucker offers the following method for analyzing FCT at low concentrations* "We analyze water and activated sludge by extracting the FCT3 from the aqueous sample with nsnograde chloroform. The chloroform is then completely removed via evaporation and PCTs redieeolved in nanograde hexane. The extracts are then subjected to an alumina column cleanup. After concentration to a specific volume the FCTs are detected by electron capture gas chromatography. The instru ment employed is a Hewlett-Packard 5750 and the gas chromatographic conditions are as follows* Detector High Temperature 111^3 Electron Capture Cell Column* 6mm x 214 glass column packed with 2.5 SE-52 on 80/100 mesh gas Chrora Q.

A reference list is included to identify the systems by Monsanto location and pro cess application. Systems numbered 5, 10 and 11 will be redrained, refilled and resampled within one month. It appears that the higher PCB residues are related to the larger systems or to the less thorough cleaning procedures used. This is not surprising. With this experience I believe we can predict that residuals below 1^ can be achieved with thorough drainage, solvent flush and chemical cleaning. We have no information on sny systems with residuals in the ppm or non-detectable range. I suggest we discuss with PDA representatives all of this information except for the location and system description. /bt Attachment W. B.

Capacity - Incinerators of this type are normally rated for a given heat release. The nominal capa city of the Krummrich Plant incinerator is 1,250 lbs./hr. of Aroclor 1242. This corresponds to a heat release of 13M BTTJ/hr. 2. Peed Types - This incinerator was designed for a full range of chlorinated and non-chlorinated pro ducts. Still bottoms, solvents of various sorts, material containing lime--virtually any flowable material can be fed to this incinerator. Because some of the feed material was to contain lime (up to 2#), the refractory had to be carefully chosen. The original refractory proved unsatisfac tory. A high alumina (high cost) brick is now being considered for replacement following an extended test period. PCBs caused leaching of silica from original brick and thus caused premature failure. 3. For HC1 Qas Disposal - A scrubber system was installed. A venturi scrubber is used to assure wetting of parti culates. A packed column following the venturi is used to scrub out the HC1. 4. Oxidation Temperatures - This must be coupled with residence time In the oxidizer. Both are needed for complete PCB destruction. Higher chlorination levels require higher temperatures for destruction. DSW 172653 STLCOPCB4047277 Mr. Robett Solotke August 31, 1972 Page 2 The Krummrlch incinerator is designed for 2,800F (for Aroclor 1260). Normal operating temperatures are in the range of 2,200-2,500F. Residence time is about 2.5 seconds. 5. Supplier of Equipment - John Zink Company, P. 0.

Nason I note in a collection of recent correspondence between Monsanto Research Corporation and the Atomic Energy Commission the use of Monsanto's trademark "Therminol" to describe dielectric fluids containing polychlorinated biphenyls. The word "Therminol" Is used by Monsanto for a group of fluids used as heat transfer media in processing equipment. The Therminol FR Series included the fluids which contained polychlorinated biphenyls. Sales of this series of fluids were terminated in December, 1971. The remaining Therminols, which are not chlorinated hydrocarbons, are still available. Dielectric fluids containing polychlorinated biphenyls and used in capacitors and transformers are shipped under the following trademarks: 1. Aroclor (Monsanto) 2. Inerteen (Westinghouse) 3. Pyranol (General Electric) . Will you please arrange to have this information passed on to your AEC contacts to help eliminate the apparent confusion? It Is ray understanding that the AEC is well aware of the need for proper handling, use and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls. If additional help in this area Is deemed advis able we would be glad to offer our suggestions. li. B.

Goodwillie Montreal I recommend that we share with the National Research Council the information requested which is available. I have no information which specifically mentions the half-life of PCBs in the environment. In fact, we do not believe the half-life concept can be properly applied to a mixture such as PCBs in which each isomer has a different rate of disappearance and in a mixture seems to effect the disappearance of the other isomers. I have enclosed two copies of a presentation we made to the PCB Task Force in Washington, D.C. In this pre sentation we attempted to display evidence that PCBs do degrade. Perhaps Mr. Roberts can use this information to arrive at some understanding of fate of PCBs in the environment. Regarding the request for sales figures relevant to Canada, I suggest you share with Mr. Roberts the type of information we divulged in the United States. I have attached two copies of the United States information to show how it was presented. ab Enclosures W. B. Papageorge DSW 172665 STLCOPCB4047289 August 30, 1972 Mr. G.

I have also enclosed copies of articles relating to PCBs which I hope you find interesting and informative. In your letter dated August 2 to Mr. Rollins you requested information which might be helpful in determining the source of PCBs in your pelleted "spent grain." Since no PCBs have been detected in the components making up the spent grain pellets, it would appear that contamination occurs after the components have been sampled. . Although Monsanto no longer sells PCBs to "open" type applica tions, I would suggest that someone analyze samples of paints, gasketing, adhesives, inks, hydraulic fluids including compressor fluids, and packaging materials in the event old formulations are still in use.

Farrar P. S. Park W. R. Richard J. F. Stapleton R, A. Stohr E. P. Wheeler Attached Is a copy of a proposed Grant-in-aid Agreement submitted by the Ohio Agricultural Research and Develop ment Center for our consideration. Hie general objective of the proposed studies is to provide information relating to PCB contamination of milk resulting from silo coatings. The proposed cost of $12,500 does not appear to be exces sive. It consists primarily of the salary for a technical assistant and I find it difficult to understand how his services will be utilized effectively during the entire year. Perhaps the work is such that part time help would be difficult to schedule. Note the project is not charged with any costs relating to procurement, care and feeding of the test animals. Hie proposed agreement is worded to assure that control of the work, data, reports and patent possibilities remains completely with the Research Center. It appears the Donor has no particular advantages over others who may also be interested in the work. At present no new silo coating situations have developed in those areas In which Bloomfield Silo and Michigan Silo Companies operated. Activity has been centered in the southeast and relates to silos coated by Mounteagle Silo Company or Its predecessor, the Concrete Silo Company. These cases are being handled on an Individual basis with many of the silos being sandblasted and replastered. There are some indications that the regulatory agencies, both state and Federal, do not believe the PCB-In-milk problem Is serious and activity is being limited. Insofar as our current program Is concerned I have personal doubts that the Information generated by this study, becom ing available In January-February, 1973 with a final report in October, 1973* would be timely. DSW 172668 / .... STLCOPCB4047292 Mr. W. R. Corey -2- August 30, 1972 I believe that the study will probably result in data which will support some tentative conclusions which Dr. Willet has derived and which encourage our sand blasting - replastering programs. I also believe that Dr. Willet will somehow continue the study with or with out Monsanto aid and the information acquired will be available to all. It seems to me the only direct benefit we might derive from sponsorship of this study is in the intangible area of public relations, in this case the academic and agricultural community in Ohio. I would appreciate comments from all recipients. /ab Enclosures W. B. Papageorge DSW 172669 STLCOPCB4047293 August 29, 1972 Phenolics Kr. C. Paton B2SC J. T. Garrett L. R. Stark Several weeks ago you requested Information relating to the definition of phenolics In waste waters, methods for their analysis and tolerance levels established by regulatory agencies. I find from discussions with Jack Garrett and Lou Stark that phenolics in waste waters is a very complex subject primarily because of the lack of a reliable specific method for analysis. Phenolics are defined as those materials which react with 4 amino antipyrine at high pH in the presence of potassium ferricyanide to form a dye. A copy of current standard analytical methods is attached. I understand these methods do not detect some phenols. Studies are currently underway for the establishment of methodology using gas-liquid chromatography procedures. Lou indicated a tentative method has been proposed. Levels which regulatory agencies will tolerate seem to vary. The Federal agencies are promoting a maximum of 1 part per billion. It appears most states are approaching this level and are guided by the minimum quantity detectable by someone's favorite analytical procedure. Lou Stark has accumulated considerable information in this area particularly relating to phosphate ester hydraulic fluids. I recommend we discuss this further with him. ab Enclosure W. B.

Nishioka McClellan Air Force Base Environmental Health Laboratory Sacramento, California 95652 Dear Mr. Nishioka: Confirming our telephone discussion this morning, Aroclor 1242 was the commercial polychlorinated biphenyl mixture used by the paper industry in the manufacture of carbonless reproduction paper. Monsanto terminated sale of this material to this appli cation in April, 1971. I understand that the last paper in which polychlorinated biphenylB were used was manufactured in June, 1971. Proper disposal of paper containing polychlorinated biphenyls can only be achieved by incineration at temperatures which exceed 80CPC. Therefore, burning in the normal solid waste incinerator would result only in the vaporization of the poly chlorinated biphenyl with the subsequent pollution of the : atmosphere and eventual presence in natural water systems. Relating to your question of what toxic effects can be expected from the handling of paper containing polychlorinated biphenyls, we have no information that would lead us to believe that any problems exist. Polychlorinated biphenyls are considered to be only mildly toxic at fairly high levels of exposure and these conditions do not normally exist with respect to carbonless reproduction paper.

Dendy Executive Officer State Water Resources Control Board Room 1015, Resources Building l4l6 Ninth Street Sacramento, California 9581^ Dear Mr. Dendy: To the best of our knowledge PCBs were never used as components in the commercial production of vehicle tires. Very limited quantities were tested in experimental studies involving about a dozen tires at a time but the results were not favorable and the use was never extended. PCBs could have been present as contaminants as a result of the use of recycled oils in some isolated incidents but the quantities present must have been very low to avoid adverse characteristics in the final product. Another possible source of PCB contamination might have been the adhesive used in the construction of the tires. Here, too, the quantity involved would be extremely low. With the current limited use of PCBs and the tighter control now exercised by the electrical industry the pre sence of PCBs in recycled oil should be virtually eliminated. The availability of PCBs for use in adhesives was terminated in August, 1970. The only use of PCBs in rubbers which met with any commer cial success was as a plasticizer for chlorinated rubbers used in adhesives, coatings, gasketing and sealants. This application was also discontinued in August, 1970. DSW 172713 rid STLCOPCB4047337 Mr. Bill B. Dendy July 25, 1972 Page 2 I hope this information is useful to you.

We agree with the Administration's intent to control the presence of PCBs in the nation's food supply and commit ourselves to continuing our activities directed toward this end. We endorse the recognition of the problem of unavoidable PCB residues in food and animal feeds. We support all appropriate action taken to prevent further introduction of additional PCBs into the environment. We equally support realistic action designed to minimize the unavoidable residues occurring from PCBs already pre sent in the environment. With respect to the rule making we have the following comments to offer: 1. The temporary tolerances for PCBs in milk and poultry should be maintained as originally established; 5.0 parts per million (fat basis) for milk and 5.0 parts per million edible portions for poultry. DSW 172744 STLCOPCB4047368 Department of Health, Education and Welfare July 14, 1972 Page 2 2. Residual PCBs are present In converted heat transfer . systems. Therefore, a regulation which specifies no PCBs in a system will create unnecessary hardships which are not warranted by the hazard to human health. Extensive studies should be conducted by the Adminis tration to determine the realistic acceptable level which can be achieved, and the regulation should specify this level. The period for compliance, fol lowing the establishment of an acceptable level, should be of sufficient duration to assure its achievement. 3. More information should be developed concerning ana lytical methodology and migration rates before a PCB tolerance level is established for food packaging materials. 4. Provision should be made in the proposed regulation permitting the use of transformers and capacitors containing PCBs when installed in a manner which would prevent direct contact with the food or animal feed being processed. 5. These comments are premised upon the statement by the PDA that "...the current dietary level of PCBs is not considered an immediate hazard to the public health." I.__ GENERAL DISCUSSION Monsanto Company has been a manufacturer of various chemi cals and other products since 1901. At the end of last year, Monsanto was the third largest chemical company in the United States. For many years we have supplied chemi cal products to almost every American industry, and, in fact, through our research departments have played a role in the development of technology in many Industries. On some occasions, a chemical compound with specific properties is developed to meet a need in a certain appli cation. At other times, whether through innovative re search or by happenstance, a chemical compound with unique properties is developed first and then applications are found for which the new compound is uniquely suited. DSW 172745 STLCOPCB4047369 Department of Health, Education and Welfare July 14, 1972 Page 3 So it was in a sense with polychlorinated biphenyls. PCBs were apparently first UBed commercially in the late 1920's. PCBs are chemical compounds with several very desirable qualities. They are very inert, substantially fire resistant and non-conductors of electricity. As the properties of these new compounds became known, they were put to use in applications where they seemed to be ideally suited. Perhaps the first of the uses was as a dielectric fluid in transformers and capacitors. In situations where high voltage arcing could occur, the fire resistant and insulating qualities of PCBs were highly desirable. Monsanto's production of PCBs began in the mid-1930's. As the desirability of PCBs gradually increased for many applications so did production of the material. Their fire resistant nature made them excellent choices for use as heat transfer fluids. Their inertness gave long lasting qualities to lubricants. When used as ingredients in coatings, they improved the waterproofing characteristics. Insofar as handling of the material Is concerned, PCBs are considered less toxic than many other chemicals in everyday use. Recently questions have been raised concerning the effect of PCBs on the environment. The persistent nature of the products, while so desirable from the standpoint of many industrial applications, began to work against them. In the late 1960's, after sophisticated analytical pro cedures were developed which would determine minute quan tities of PCBs, they were detected In the environment. It was later learned that PCBs could affect certain forms of marine, terrestrial and avian wildlife. Early evidence indicated that, like DDT, PCBs did not readily biodegrade in the environment. Recently it has been established that many PCBs are biodegradable, particularly the monochloro, dlchloro and trichloro, with evidence that some of the tetrachloro and pentachloro also degrade. When questions first began to be raised about the effects of PCBs on the environment, Monsanto, in the light of developing data, reviewed again the products and applications DSW 172746 STLCOPCB4047370 Department of Health, Education and Welfare July 14, 1972 Fage 4 in which they were used. While the environmental effect of PCBs was still In controversy, Monsanto began unilat erally to take steps intended to reduce the entry of PCBs into the environment. Acting on its own, Monsanto stopped the sale of PCBs for use in plasticizer appliestions such as paints, sealants and coatings. A program was initiated for reducing the sale of PCBs which pro vided that sales would be made only for use in applica tions where (a) the products were necessary from the standpoint of the public interest, and (b) no acceptable alternatives were available. Since sales as plasticizers had already been eliminated, the extended program further called for the termination of sales for use in hydraulic fluids and then the termination of sales for use in heat transfer fluids. Today, virtually all PCBs manufactured by Monsanto Company are used by the electrical industry for dielectric uses such as in transformers and capacitors; applications for which we understand there are, as yet, no satisfactory alternate products. The manufacturing and sales reduction program undertaken by Monsanto was completely unilateral and not because of any governmental requirement. The subject regulations being proposed by the FDA will be the first significant governmental regu lations affecting PCBs. II. TEMPORARY FOOD TOLERANCES Monsanto's current program on the sale of PCBs should in time virtually eliminate the contamination of foods (assuming no other commercial sources are available). During the interim the establishment of temporary tolerances for the proposed limited group of foods has merit. Past incidences of PCBs in foods, at levels considered to be unacceptable, have been relatively few, have been attributed to unusual single sources and, in virtually every case, the source has been identified. Additionally, we know of no facts that indicate that the action level guidelines established for milk in 1969 at 5*0 parts per million on a fat basis and for poultry in 1970 at 5.0 parts per million in edible portions have not provided adequate protection to the consumer. We, therefore. DSW 172747 STLCOPCB4047371 Department of Health, Education and Welfare July 14, 1972 Page 5 conclude that the proposed temporary tolerances of 2.5 parts per million on a fat basis for milk and 5.0 parts per million on a fat basis for poultry do not appear to be Justified and we respectfully urge that the levels be maintained as originally established. III. PROCESSING EQUIPMENT Monsanto basically agrees with the objectives of the pro posed regulations relating to the use of PCBs In heat transfer systems in food, feed, and food packaging material plants. In 1971 we discontinued sales of PCBs to these applications and have recommended conversion to other available fluids. A copy of a bulletin available to our customers to assist them in their conversion is attached. You will note on page 12 our statement that heat transfer fluids are intended only for indirect heating purposes. Ihe food industry requires high temperatures in certain of its operations to properly process its products and to protect the consumer from the dangers of pathogenic micro organisms from products prepared In an unsatisfactory manner. The continued use of existing heat transfer systems must, therefore, be assured to prevent serious disruption to the nation^ food distribution chain. The regulation as proposed prohibits the presence of any PCBs In a system. Our limited experience with converted Monsanto Company units, which are not food related. Indicates that, although considerable care is taken, some PCBs still remain in the system. The amount seems to vary with such factors as the design of the system, the age of the system, and the operating conditions Involved. No generalization can be made relating to the levels of PCBs remaining in any given system.even though our former PCB heat transfer customers have been cautioned to remove PCBs from their systems. Under such conditions, the regulation as pro posed could deny the food industry the continued use of its facilities and would make more difficult the achieve ment of desired processing results. DSW 172748 STLCOPCB4047372 Department of Health, Education and Welfare July 1U, 1972 Page 6 Before promulgating this section of the regulations, we urge that extensive studies be conducted by the Adminis tration to determine the acceptable residual level of PCBs which can be realistically achieved in well run, pro perly managed systems. Following the establishment of this level, reasonable time, which we feel is considerably longer than the 30 days proposed, should be permitted to provide the food industry an opportunity for it3 orderly achievement. IV. FOOD PACKAGING MATERIAL The proposed regulations contain a maximum tolerance level of five parts per million PCBs which would be allowed in food packaging material. The proposal of any standard for packaging materials at this time would appear to be ill-conceived. There are at least two areas In which more information must be developed before a reasonable PCB tolerance level can be established. First, accurate methodology for use in determining the exact levels of PCBs In the various materials used In packaging must be developed. Second, It is necessary to determine the actual rate of migration of PCBs from each packaging material Into foods. Since the composition of various materials used In packaging foods varies to a considerable extent, this information must be developed with respect to a number of different materials. It may be that some materials contain no PCBs at all, while other materials which do contain PCBs prevent their migration into foods. In either case, a PCB tolerance level for the packaging material would appear to be unnecessary. In any event, more infor mation should be developed concerning analytical methodology and actual migration rates before a PCB tolerance level is established for food packaging materials. V. CAPACITORS AND TRANSFORMERS The importance of continuing the use of PCBs as a dielectric fluid In capacitors and transformers has been generally acknowledged. Recent reports supporting this use include the Interdepartmental Task Force on PCBs report entitled DSW 172749 STLCOPC B4047373 Department of Health, Education and Welfare July 14, 1972 Page 7 "Polychlorinated Biphenyls and the Environment" dated May, 1972 and the Food and Drug Administration's "Environ mental Impact Statement - Notice of Proposed Rule Making Polychlorinated Biphenyls" dated May 8, 1972. In the food processing industry there are a number of applications of PCB-type electrical devices which cannot be adequately performed by substitutes. The hermatically sealed construction of capacitors and transformers, the very low failure rates, 0.1$ to 0.2$ per year, the exceedingly low failure rate which could lead to loss of fluid, approxi mately 0.01$, and the existance of lost electrical function, which would also occur on equipment failure signaling the operating personnel to take appropriate actions, are all characteristics which would tend to preclude food contamina tion. Banning of PCB-containing capacitors and transformers in factories engaged in food, animal feed, or food packaging materials would result in extensive rebuilding, relocating and re-equipping programs, all without demonstrable need. Monsanto, therefore, does not believe that the use of PCBcontaining capacitors and transformers in food plants should be arbitrarily denied and wholeheartedly supports the pro posals relating to this rule making submitted for your consideration by the General Electric Company, the Aerovox Corporation and the Certified Ballast Manufacturers Association. Our purpose in making these comments is to aid the Adminis tration in developing realistic rules that will achieve the intended objectives without serious disruptions to the food industry and to the consumer. We believe the suggestions given above, if adopted, will serve this pur pose and we respectfully urge that they be given serious consideration. ' Respectfully submitted. WBP/bt Attachment W. B.

I suggest that these inquiries be answered in the following manner: "Polychlorinated biphenyls (FCB's) are not used as raw materials or as ingre dients in the formulation of this material nor are they used as processing or indus trial fluids in the equipment used in its manufacture. To the test of our knowledge and belief there are no PCB'b present in this product." At tf. B.

No new work is anticipated and the remaining effort will be concentrated on the development of alternative materials for use in capacitors and transformers. The main program consisted of the following major activities: 1. Development and refinement of PCB analytical methodology 2. Animal toxicity studies 3. Determination of the biodegradability of PCB's 4. The search for alternative materials for all former PCB applications 5. The development. Installation and operation of facilities for the pro per control and disposal of PCB's 6. An active program to assist our customers in understanding the problem and helping control the loss of PCB's to the environ ment. OSW172769 yA.

Nabara Idemitsu International, Inc. 630 Fifth Avenue Rockefeller Center New York, New York 10020 Dear Mr. Nabarat Enclosed Is a copy of Monsanto's analytical methodology which can easily be adapted for the determination of PCB's In flushing oil. Hiis procedure is sensitive to PCB's and will not give erroneous results because of the pre sence of chlorine associated with the oil. The recommended method for disposing of PCB's and flushing oil which contains PCB's is by high temperature Incineration. Hie tempera ture must exceed 800C and provision must be made for scrubbing the resulting HCL from the stack gas to assure that atmospheric pollution does not occur. I hope this Information is useful to you and If I can be of further service please let me know. Sincerely, WBP/bt Enclosure W. B.

Onevelo The University of Iowa College of Medicine Department of Preventive Medicine and Environmental Health Iowa City, Iowa 52240 - 1 Dear Mr. Onevelo: Enclosed are copies of articles relating to PCB's which Monsanto*s Mr. Elmer P. Wheeler requested I send you. I hope you find these both Interesting and informative. Monsanto's voluntary action in withdrawing PCB's from general use began in early 1970 with the termination of sales to uncontrollable end uses such as coatings, sealants, and inks. Termination of sales were later made for such uses as ingredients in hydraulic fluids and carbonless copy paper. The program calls for sales only to hermatically sealed closed system dielectric applications such as capacitors and transformers. I hope this information is useful to you and if I can be of further service please let me know. Sincerely, W. B. Papageorge Manager Environmental Protection WBP/ht Enclosure It. t bcc: E. P.

Robson D. E. Roush E. J. Young B2SL B2SL B2SE 1010 B3NA B3NA B2SC 1010 I discussed with Maurice Gatens his plans for con verting his Thermlnol FR system and he Informed me that he Is ready for conversion and is waiting for advice from you or Don Roush regarding the alternative fluids available and the system modi fications required. He thought that visits by you and Don to the labora tory earlier this year would be followed by specific recommenda tions. It appears that conversion must be made when the air conditioning system is shut down in November. Will you please forward the necessary information to Akron so that they may proceed as quickly as possible with their plans for conversion. W. B. Papageorge /bt DSW 172779 STLCOPCB4047403
