Jerome F. Cole, Sc. D. Environmental Health Director Lead Industries Associates, Incorporated 292 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10017 Dear Sir, I am working on a study of lead-containing pesticides, and thought that you might be able to answer a few questions for me. 1) What lead compounds are being used as pesticides? What companies manufacture them? 2) What amounts of these compounds were used in 1970, and how does these amounts relate to those used in previous years? ^ 3) Ghi v&at %reas are these compounds used, and against what pests? _? U) How effective are these compounds, and what are the risks involved in their use? , 5) Have other compounds been developed that could effectively r replace the lead-containing compounds presently in use? If so, how safe are the non-lead compounds? Since my study must be completed by late August, I would appreciate a reply at your earliest possible convenience. Thank you for your efforts. Sincerely yours. ,q ^ (Miss) Nancy Stocker
