FROM DATE .Brussels, Belgium A LOCATION! .1st December, 1966 SUBJECT Aroclor-'Sweden ' ^ . .. .DWigb TO .G. R. Buchanan -4 St. Louis ccA. Arpino - Brusseb Dr. Emmet Kelly - St. Louis D.V.N. Hardy - London R.A. Steenrod - St. Louis Dear George, I attach a copy of a letter received from Ola Palm in Stockholm. I have sent copies of this letter also to the appropriate departments within our own organisation. In consideration of the importance we are placing on development of the Swedish market for Aroclor over the next five years, we would be grateful if you could arrange for this information to be considered by the appropriate departments in St. Louis and their comments transmitted to us as soon as possible Based on the recommendations made by our medical departments we shall have to decide whether to arrange for publication of data in Sweden or not. In relation to the specific problem mentioned of disposal of used materials, we would be interested to learn how this problem is handled in America. In the U.K. many companies have been burying material in drums, material in the drums having been absorbed into vermiculite or some similar porous material. Has any entirely safe method been developed for the disposal of waste Aroclor ? Best wishes. . D. Wood. P.S. Thinking of the total quantities of Aroclor used in Sweden compared with the much larger volumes of Pentachlorophenol and Sodium Pentachlorophenate, for water treatment in the paper industry and sapstain control in the timber industry. Is it likely that the chlorinated phenols show similar chromatographic traces to the chlorinated bi-phenols? tXIUBI I WRP M-4 MON-MT-008548 M-J. TOWOLDMON0003180 WATER_PCB-00000202
