D. H. Borclna J. F. Cola August XT, 1971 Subject: Center for Science In the Public Interest Regarding Antifouling: faint XT it is your decision to reply to the CSPI regarding entifouling paints, I suggest that you enclose a copy of the Article, "Ofgenolead Antifouling Paints'' by Dr. Dodd 8. Carr. Further, it should be pointed out that lead antifouling paints are being used only on an experimental basis and are not currently being marketed. It should also be pointed out that we do not bare data regarding the amount of paint which wears off drer a certain period of time, but that the apparent durability of organolead entifouling paints would indicate that such material is released only very slowly. ILZRO has conducted extensive acute toxicity test of trlphenjlleed acetate, the active constituent of the point, and is currently conducting chronic toxicity tests to assure ourselves that there will be no long-term hazard from the use of this material. cgv .Vi Attach.
