ZI P SD Summary.ZIP SH ELL-MCCLU RG-055634 Pearl Brief The Issue: Shell has committed $3MM to a $23MM five-year health study in Shanghai, with the goal of better defining the risks from exposure to benzene. This research follows a 1997 National Cancer Institute study of benzene-exposed workers in China, which concluded that benzene exposure might cause non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, (NHL). Given Shell's stake in Benzene production and marketing, Shell hopes to clarify health impacts and develop appropriate protocols for exposure limits and mitigation measures. Key Messages: Shell is contributing to a joint study in Shanghai that aims to better define the risks from exposure to benzene as part of ongoing product stewardship and safety and health programs A state-of-the-art clinical and molecular laboratory is being built on the Fudan Medical University campus to support the research project and the Shanghai medical community and will remain at Fudan once the project is completed Issue Owner: Fran Keeth Issue Coordinator: Patsy Clegg SH ELL-MCCLU RG-055635 To: From: Cc: Bcc: Received Date: Subject: Tholstrup, Susan C SCC <susan.tholstrup@sheILcom>; Walls, Chuck G SCC-CHSE <Chuck.Walls@shell.com>; Sullivan, Nancy E SCC-CBAR <nancy.sullivan@sheILcom> lannarone, Lauren B SCC-CSEA <lO=SHELLlOU=MSXSCC/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=LAUREN.IA NNARONE> Clegg, Patsy M SCC-CHSE-PC <patsy.clegg@shell.com>; Cagen, Stuart Z SCC <stuart.cagen@shell.com>; Machado, Joe JM SCC-CHSE-JMM <Joe.M.Machado@opc.sheILcom> 2003-04-0917:44:30 GMT RE: Shanghai Benzene - Issue brief/SO write up for your review Thanks - very helpful- will revise per your comments and resend the documents this afternoon. please advise of additional thoughts Best Regards, Lauren Lauren lannarone Issues Manager Shell Chem ical LP One Shell Plaza, 910 Louisiana, Houston, TX 77002-4916 Tel: +1-713-241-72837283 Other Tel: 917-362-5456 Email: Lauren.lannarone@shell.com Internet: http://www.shell.com/chemicals -----Original Message----- From: Tholstrup, Susan C SCC Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 12:21 PM To: lannarone, Lauren B SCC-CSEA; Walls, Chuck G SCC-CHSE; Sullivan, Nancy E SCC-CBAR Cc: Clegg, Patsy M SCC-CHSE-PC; Cagen, Stuart Z SCC; Machado, Joe JM SCC-CHSE-JMM Subject: RE: Shanghai Benzene - Issue brief/SO write up for your review Lauren, I struggle with the wording on both these documents. They both have wording that implies 1) our existing protocols are inadequate, and 2) this study will improve our existing protocols. My counter to that is 1) we do not know if our protocols are adequate today or not. The purpose of the study is to give us more information to determine if there are more diseases (e.g. non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma) at a given exposure level and what that exposure level would be - it's not until after the study that we will know if our existing exposure levels are "adequate". and 2) nothing in this study will "help the Benzene business unit improve its protocols... ". This study will give us information, which we can use to determine what, if any, improvements are needed. I may be nit-picking, but sure don't want a document out there implying we know are protocols are already inadequate. SH ELL-MCCLU RG-055636 love the links - didn't know (or forgot) they were out there.
