Dear Dr. Spezlale:
As I wrote Ken Maddy last month, we are most interested In quantitative determinations of residues of the various Arochlors as they are accumulating in food organisms from the ocean, and wonder if you may have available Isolated pure compounds of which the Monsanto commercial products are mixtures. These would be useful to us, for example, as primary controls for gas chromatography.
If sufficient amounts are available, we would be Interested In looking into their biological effects, such as on the thickness of egg shells for various species of birds, or on the enzymes which are Involved. Any Information or samples that you can share with us would be very much appreciated.
Very truly yours
