BULLETIN NO 476 October 28 1971
PROPOSED ILLINOIS BAN ON ASBESTOS IN BRAKE LINING
There has been considerable activity by members of the Asbestos Study Committee as regards the proposed Illinois regulations on Asbestos and Spray Insulation To quote from Part VII Section 702 of the regulations proposed by the Illinois Pol-
lution Control Board
The use of asbestos in the brake lining of vehicles manufactured
after January 1 1975 and sold for use in Illinois is prohibited
In the Board's explanation it notes that the prohibition is worded to avoid
the necessity of fitting vehicles manufactured prior to 1975 with asbestos brakes However there is no question but that the ban includes original equipment linings and there can be little doubt but that replacement linings on these vehicles must also be of a asbestos type Further interpretation of the proposed regulations indicates that all vehicles are included Passenger Cars Trucks Off High-
way Equipment Farm Tractors and the like Also the Board apparently considers
clutch facings to be the same as brake linings While the immediate effect would be on those supplying original equipment linings the secondary effect would be felt by all friction material manufacturers
In the Board's explanation they state These prohibitions have been made with full consideration given to the available alternative materials
From the Illinois hearings this past month the Institute has received several
articles of interest
1 Manville memorandum October 20 1971 by Mr. Swetonic summarizing the Chicago hearings October 15 1971
2 Written presentation by Dr. F. Pundsack of Manville as given at the Chicago hearings
3 Dr. W. J. Nicholson Mt. Sinai Hospital a presentation in support of the Board's regulations at the Chicago hearings
4 Chicago Times October 18 1971 report on the Chicago hearings 5 Waukegan newspaper report of October 20 1971 concerning the hearings
in Waukegan
6 Manville memorandum October 20 1971 by W. Raines summarizing the Waukegan hearings on October 19 1971

Realizing the unreasonable deadline you must work against comments should be in the hands of thePollution Control Board by November 10 1971. Please write
Mr. Samual T. Lawton State of Illinois Pollution 189 West Madison Street Suite 900

Control
Board
The comments must be your own We suggest that the primary force of these comments might be the lack of availability of known substitutes at this time secondary point might be that the Federal EPA Environmental Protection Agency is currently having studies made concerning the extent of emissions in the general environment from brake linings and these results will not be known till mid 1972 Unless you have specific medical background we suggest you not question the proposed safety standards on asbestos concentrations Further as is the case with most government bureaus any pleading on cost or economics should be avoided Please note that the portion of the proposed regulations that we are concerned with at this time is the general environment from brake lining emissions on vehicles in use While the plant environment is also covered in the proposed regulations we are advising our members primarily on the proposed ban on brake lining on vehicles

suggested that
centrations in
organization of the Asbestos Study Committee it has been all members be advised on monitoring asbestos fiber con-
the work place This should be of interest since the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was effective on April 28 1971. Mr. William Reitze of Manville addressed the June meeting on this Act and subsequently we distributed literature concerning the
Act and Threshold Limit Values
Mr. Reitze advised that there was a guide published by the Asbestos
Textile Institute

might be mislead-
background or \-
For this reason Mr. Reitze would be willing to give a talk and demonstration including a discussion of materials methods costs personnel requirements and legal aspects This would not be a training course but would be an information session where those responsible for making decisions could be given enough information to decide which course their firm should follow There would of course be no charge for this presentation
If there are members of your firm who would be interested in such
a session please advise It generally would be planned to have the session if interest is sufficient sometime after January in the New York metropolitan area As Mr. Reitze now must travel in from Denver it would be important for those interested to indicate rather positvely
their intentions as regards attending such a session
