Background 1. Tho rCBs are a sttble group of synthetic chemicals, first marketed in 1930, They have been used for a variety of purposes, the most common being as a plasticiser in paints snd vornishee in carbonless copying paper as an additive to lubricants and in elect rical apparatus, 2. They have a relatively low oral toxicity, but can be accumulated and persist for Ion,;- periods in fatty tissue. In I960 concern was expressed after studios of marine ar.d fresh-water fish and wildbirds demonstrated that the PCBs had become widely distributed in living organisms in many parts of the world. Additional concern arose as a result of accidents. The most outstanding example taking place in Japan in Spring of 1969 when over 1000 people were poisoned after eating rice bran oil which had been contaiminated by PCB containing oil leaking from a defective pipe in a food preparation factory. Action Taken by UK 3. As a result of this concern in Kerch 1971 Monsanto Ltd (U.ic) announced that it would restrict ifco sales of TCB to those uses for which their exceptional properties made them essential and in which they were enclosed so that there would be no loss to the environment. In practise this meant they would only be sold to Transformer and capacitor manufacturers, (This same step had been taken by the parent company Monsanto USA aboit twelve months earlier). HONS 040145 OKCD Involvement 4. Under the C2CD notification scheme, several of the smaller non- mannfacturing countries announced their intention of bringing in controls on manufactured goods containing PCBa The USA askad the OSCD to call a consultation meeting to discuss the situation. 5. This, consultation meeting waa held at 02CD in Paris on 3rd October 1972 (i. Prestt* CiJ.ZP and T.Wyatt DTI attended on behalf of the UJC.). The prime aim of the meeting was to get agreement among the G2CD countries (which represent the main manufacturers of PCBa)-for control of PCBs without the different countries having to resort to unilateral imposition of a variety of national legislation. By the time this consultation meeting took place the manufacturers in Japan* Germany and (at the last minute) France had followed the example of Monsanto. This only left Spain and Italy without voluntary controls operated by their manufacturers. As a result it was agreed that control of rCBs could be adequately brought about within the OECD countries by restrictions at source ie. the manufacturer. 6. At the Sector Group meeting of 22-24 November, paper SNV(72) 27 was drawn up. The UK* somewhat unexpectedly in view of the outcome of the Consultation meeting, found itself having to fight against demands for detailed regulations govaning goods contain,? PCBs. , Norway in particular proved tiresome (oven at one stage suggesting a World Conven tion should be agreed to control FCBs) and the fact that the UOA had decided to introduce legislatidn and not rely on a voluntary agreement with industry did not help the U.K. position. 7. Kever-the-less S'.!V(72) 27 now contains most of the points the UK requested and will allow us to continue the control of PCBs according to the voluntary agreement announced in March 1971. This has been found to be satisfactory and we have no desire to alter this arranger/*nt. HUNS 040146 8, Tho two raont important alterations we had incorporated were (i) in 14(h) that limitations on PC3s should be by 1 control, of the manufacture^*. ^This previously said 'licencing* which would have nece sitatod legislation^ dfe are not prepared to introduce legislation for this purposejhfind (ii) in 14(c) the exemption of capacitors from restrictions on labelling and disposal. It is most important that we do not agree any goneral weakening of bV/(72) 27 and in particular ensure no change is made to these two sections. 9. The exception with which we do not agree comes at the end of 14 (b) (i) 'including also PCB containing products ....* We got this weakened by the additon of 'as far as useful and practicable* but we do not feel the need for this statement, indeed would argue that its inclusion negates the main purpose of this whole OECD oxcrcine. Our arguments are: A. The question at issue is simply whether countries like ITorway which have no PCB industry of their own should or should not be encouraged to introduce their own restrictions on trade in capacitors and transformers and on electrical appliances art lighting fittings which contain them. B, Tho Swedish Government has already introduced such restrictions and it was this action which gave increased urgency to attempts to roach agreement on control of FCB's at source. The issues are examined in a Secretariat paper SCP/CO/PCB/12.2 of 15 September and the danger is there clearly foreseen that other countries would follow Sweden's lead and introduce theijfewn disparate restrictions on IX'h co.ituining products which would create a multiplicity of non-taril'f barriers. It was with this threat that member countries manufacture, ng IGB's wore urged to agree to control FCB's at source. MOMS 040147 C. This they have now done, and one might have hoped that this would havo removed any nece..si ty for countries to think of inter fering with trade in products containing FCB's. But on the con trary we now have a document in which weall invited to agree to undertake such interference. D. The OECD Environment Committee i3 supposed to concentrate on the economic and trade aspects of environmental problems. Here is a situation where there are two alternative ways of tackling a particular environmental problem - by regulating trade in the products containing the pollutant or by controlling tho use of the pollutant at source. The ill effects on trade of taking the first course instead of the second are obvious and acknowledged. Yet the Soctor Croup is proposing that we should take both courses at once, thus combining the disadvantages of a superfluity of controls with an unnecessary interference with trade. Action Reauirsd tO. The UK point of view as outlined in para 9 should be sent aa our written comment from our representatives on the Environment Committee. 11. This document should go as the brief to the UK ambassador to safeguard our position at the Council meeting where he can (a) ensure there is no retreat of para 8 and (b) he can follow up the attack first made in writing to the environment committee of para, 9, Ian.

SNVr.lONIiSNT COI I'ITTEE POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS! proposals por concerted action 1. At its meeting on 24th-26th November 1972, the Sector Group on Unintended Occurrence of Chemicals in the Environment considered draft proposals for concerted action regarding . PCB3, as outlined in MR/EIIV/72.51. The Group agreed the text in the attached document, paragraph 14 of which contains a proposal for action by the Environment Co.iuaittee and Council. - 2. It should be noted that these proposals are in conformity with the conclusions of the Consultation meeting on PCDs held on 3rd October 1972, where it was unanimously agreed that ECUs should not be used in circumstances which could result in their escape to the environment. Consequently it was desirable to establish a con.,ion policy fremrorh throughout the OECD membership regarding the accepta.ble uses of PCDs under specified conditions. 3. When examining the conclusions of the Consultation meeting the OECD Council requested the Environment Committee to taho appropriate measures in order that the Sector Group's proposals be submitted to the Council for consideration before the end of 1972 if possible. At its 9th session on 0th-10th November 1972, the Environment Committee noted tho Council's request and agreed that once the proposals had boon finalised by the Sector Group they should bo sent to the Environment Committee l'or comment within 15 days after which, should no major criticisms bo made thereon, the proposals would be submitted to the OECD Council. ACTION REQUIRED: . . Members of the Environment Committee are invited to comment in writing on the attached document before 13th December, after which date the proposals therein will bo submitted in an appropriate form to the OECD Council.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of stable substances comprising theoretically more than 200 individual compounds, many of which are widely used particularly because of their dielectric properties and non-flammability. At present 'they are obtained through chlorination of diphenyl, resulting in mixtures that arc characterised by their average content of chlorine. Duo to the porsistonce and toxicity of some of these compounds, effects have boon observed in the environment and accidents reported over the last few years, which have given rise to serious concern in Uombor countries. In view of this concern, the Sector Group on Unintended Occurrence of Chemicals in the Environment has investigated, on a. priority basis, tho need for, and feasibility of, concerted action to control the use ancl emissions of PCEs. The results of this cno.uiry, which have been presented in document KP./EMV/72.49, iced to the following conclusions : a) Because of unacceptable levels of PCBs found in the environment and because of a number of incidents involving human health, some countries have taken, or arc conside ring tailing action to control the use of PCBsj . b) There arc (1972) only si:: companies in OECD liombor countries that manufacture PCBs; four of them have already token stops to reduce production to tho supply for a few approved uses; c) PCBs can bo replaced except for some uses whore thoir dielectric properties and non-flammability are essential; d) Tho technology for destruction of PCBs exists; o) Because of tho many applications of PCBs in the wide range of consumer products moving in international trade, the situation will*almost certainly become complicated unless international agreement is reached on allowable uses | HONS 040150 ENV(72)27 - 4- f) A rough estimate* indicates that consumption of'FCBs in OECD countries is matched by production. Considering in addition that import of chemicals from non-OECD to OECD countries is still restricted to basic chemicals, import of bulk PCEs is unlikely. It is, therefore, reasonable to suggest that the major part of the problem of unin tended occurrence of PCBs can bo solved through concerted action between OECD Member countries. USES OF PCBs 2. The applications of PCDs fall mainly into two categories : - uses in closed systems - dissipative uses. Closed Systems 3. The use of PCBs in closed systems can be defined as application from which the PCBs are recoverable. PCBs in transformers, capacitors, heat transfer systems, hydraulic equipment, and vacuum pumps are in principle recoverable, since during use, the PCBs are not generally dispersed into the environment. 4. It is, hov/Gvor, important to distinguish between closed system uses that are controllable in practice and those where control ennnot bo guaranteed either - because frequent replacement of relatively small quantities will lead to disposal rather than recovery, or - because a large number of small units widely dispersed will moke collection extremely difficult, or - because accidental leakage will cause imminent danger to human health. 5. A truly controllable use may therefore be defined as an application where - the PCBs are contained in a soaled circuit in large, long life units, - the quantities involved are such that there is an incentiv for regeneration. HONS 040151 * Production in 1971 amounted to about 4-0,400 metric tons and consumption in the 13 countries that provided numerical infor mation to about 35,300 tons; assuming that- consumption of PCDs is likely to be in some measure proportional to GMP, consumptic ' in the other ton countries (Austria, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxemburg, Spain, Turkey) v/ould be in 4-Vv m- nf 7'./>00 tnnn. 5 - ENV(72)27 Following what has boen said above, the only truly controllable uses of PCBs are in dielectrics for transformers and forlarge capacitors for power factor co?rec^IonT-Preventing escapo"of~PC5s~rroa these applications is mainly a probleQ of engineering design and of collection and destruction of used liquids, or, in the case of capacitors, of removal and destruction of PCB-impregnated uaterial. These uses clso being essential for safety reasons, it would be unreasonable to suggest that they be discontinued at the present time. In all other closed systens, recovery of PCBs, although theoretically possible, would not be practical. Such appli cations should, therefore, bo discontinued, unless safety requirements prevent the use of substitute products : (i) Het_transfer_systems Thoro may be some installations where the risk of explosion or fire must be avoided at all cost, and the danger of some escape of PCBs therefore is of less importance. Because of the risk of leakage, which can never be totally guarded against, the use of PCBs as heat transfer media in the food, drugs and feed industries should, however, be prohibited. (ii) Hydraulic_eoulgment1_vacuum_2umE Although the quantities involved in the individual case are relatively small, they will, unless recovered, add significantly to the environmental burden of PCBs. Theoretically, used fluids could be recovered, but in view of the difficulty of establishing a system to collect small quantities from many users, these appli cations should be discontinued. Furthermore, PCBs arc generally not essential in hydraulic and pumping fluids, with the possible exception of hydraulic equipment in underground mining. (iii) Sraalljeagacitors These are typical examples of an application of PCBs in sealed units that are almost completely non-recovercble. Considering, for example, the many domestic electrical appliances in which capacitors are used, the cost of recovery would probably be prohibitive. A vjarning label showing that the equipment must not bo disposed of as ordinary waste has been suggested; it is however, not likely to be sufficient, unless manufactu rers and retailers would accept return of appliances that are out of uso. The problem remains unresolved at the present tiuo, but it has to be noted that one country has already banned the use of PCEs in the manufacture of small capacitors. MONS 040152 1 niV(72)27 V***'-6" - Dissipative Uaea . 8. The dissipative uses are those where recovery of used PCBs is not possible, since they are not contained in closed systems but In direct contact with the environment . (1) Rubricating_and_cutting_oils The conditions under which these oils aro used are such that there is continuous emission of snail quantities into the environment. These applications, not being ' essential, should be discontinued; (ii) Pesticlde_Uso This use has fortunately been abandoned in most countries ' already; if not, it should be banned with immediate effect. Since ell OECD countries require registration of pesticides, such a measure can easily be taken under existing legislation; (lii) Pidsticlzers The most important category, by volume, of dissipative use is in the field of plasticizers. They are or have been used in most countries in a wide variety of consumer products including paints, inks, copying paper, adhesives, sealants, plastic products, etc.., many of which are traded Internationally. The major applications seem to bo in the printing and paint industries. 9. Thie_Printing_Xndust.r^ : Because of the risk of contamination oI"paper7whlch~ar?5r recycling may be used in food packaging, the use of PCBs in the printing industry should be banned. In view of tho fact that printing inks con bo produced without PCBs and that in any case the production represents a total value of only about (!> 30 million in OECD countries, such a measure should not cause serious economic damage. Assuming that copying paper is usually provided by the copying machine manufacturers (relatively few and big companies), any economic effects should bo small. 10. The_Paint Industry poses a somewhat different problem. Over fie""Ias1:-3eca.Se7'"productlon has increased by 3.5J5 - 5% annually and the trend is rising in the OECD area. The over 2,000 million dollar West European paint industry alone accounts for some 40$! of tho world output. Production is assured by a few largo and a great many small companies (u.K. = h80, Italy and France = 350 etc.). This plcturo suggests that an overall ban on PCB3 in paints could have some , economic consequences. MONS 040153 `TTT--m i rT--Trn.r r 'ii-irni-- i it-" h h, _hM . -7- :.'NV(72)27 It aprears, however, that vhcro used, (o.g. In stoving appli cations) PCEs constitute something like 5 - 1055 of the paint. Few dctcils are available in respect of the amounts used in points, but taking one example (France) where 250 tons wore used (1971) in c paint industry that produced something like 700,000 tons of paint, presumably only 2500-5000 tons would . contain PCEs. Considering in addition that smell paint manufac turers rro generally highly specialized, and that the manufac turing process would not have to undergo a major change to replace the use of PC3s, a ban on PCBs should not cause any serious disturbance. The use of PCEs in paints has, in fact, been discontinued in some countries already. Figures for production (0,65^,200 tons in 1969) end consumption (8,517,500 tons) in 03CD countries again suggest that import of paints from non-OECD producers may be of minor significance. 11. In practice, none of the products v.'hcra PCBs have been used as plasticizers can bo recovered. Unless the use is totally eliminated, there will be continuous emissions into the envi ronment due to evaporation, insufficic-nt incineration etc. Judging by the action already taken in several countries, substitutes can readily be found for the whole category of plasticizer use of PCBs, which should, therefore, be banned. 12. It follows from what has boon said above that for adequate protection of health and environment, but also to avoid undue competition in international trade, agreement is nocossary on allov/od uses of PCEs. In order to ensure that hone production is not substituted by import, control action by governments through licencing or other means, is essential. 13. Ikasures a.re further necessary to ensure collection of used material, s.-fety in transport of raw PCBs, and assessment of substitute materials : a) In order to ensure collection of PCEs from all installation where their use must continue, manufacturers and/or importers should be required to keep inventory of all amounts supplied, recovered, regenerated and destroyed. Such inventories must bo open to government inspection. b) /. uniform labelling system, internationally recognisable, should bo developed for use on containers of ra.v; PCBs as well as on any equipment or product containing PCBs. c) Suppliers (i.c. -manufacturers and importers) should further provide containers for the transport of PCBcontaining liquids : such containers must meet the appro- pricte specifications that have been laid dovm to ensure safety in transport of dangerous chemicals. MONS 040154 KNV(72)27 --O " d) Development of substitutes that aro less hazardous than PCEs* should bo encouraged, out In view ox the feet thr.t no system for pre-market control of new chemicals ha3 been introduced, testing for environmental effects is so fur entirely the responsibility of the manufacturers. 1 Information on replacement products should, therefore, bo collected end reviewed. ACTIO-: PROPPED The Sector Group on Unintended Occurrence of Chemicals in the Environment - in pursuit of the objective of elimination of all escape of PCEs to the environment, - whilst recognising that all member countries nay not presently have adequate legislation and may hr.vo to seek other -means of compliance, proposes that the Council of the 01CD sock the strongest possible agreement betvrecn member governments : ;) that PCEs be limited, except as provided in para. c)hcrcof, to the following categories of use, however only in those applications where requirements for non-flammability supersede those of environmental protection and where sufficient control is possible : Dielectric fluids for ' transformers large power factor correction capacitors, liaet-tgsasgfcg-tluida other than in installations for the processing of foods, drugs, foods and veterinary products, IJyCrruXic_^Xuds in mining equipment; b) that for all PCB-uses the following procedures bo established : (i) control of the manufacturo, Import and export of bull; PCEs, including also PCE-containing products as far as useful and practicable; (ii) the institution of adequate arrangements for the recovery, rogoneration,ad.ecur.to incineration or other safe disposal of surplus and waste materials; t.s of the time of the preparation of this report, limited re sorrel- studies with certain selected PCE~ccnpounds may indicate three soma of those compounds could eventually safely bo used as replacements for certain applications. HONS 0 4 0 1 5 5 n ;, -9 - r; tv (72) 27 (iii) the institution of s' special, uniform labelling system for both raw PCBs end PCB-containing manufac tured products; (iv) safety specifications for containers and transport; c) that Member countries work towards the elimination of PCEs fron snail capacitors. It is however recognised that at pre sent this is unattainable, Vhile their use continues, it i3 understood that it would be impracticable for them to be subject to the recommendations dealing with labelling and disposal. The problem should be kept under review by the Sector Group on Unintended Occurrence of Chemicals in the Environment; d) that all other applications of PCBs be eliminated, giving priority attention to : - hoat transfer fluids in the food, pharmaceuticals, feed - and veterinary industries, - plasticizers for paints, inks, copying paper, adhesives, sealants, i - hydraulic liquids (other than in mining) and lubricating i oils, - vacuum pump fluids and cutting oils, - pesticide uses; e) that Member countries request their industries to use as PCS replacements materials which pose a lower hazard to human health and the environment than do tho FC3s; f) that information be exchanged at the beginning of 197'*, 1975 and 1376 on (i) amounts of PCBs, including : i amounts manufactured by PCD type amounts imported " " and by country amounts exported " " and by country amounts incinerated "" amounts consumed " " and by use; (ii) details of PC3 replacements including : identification, ' total amounts for each chemical type and for each use, known toxicity and environmental hazard of each chemical type; I HONS 040156 r.trv(??.)27 - 10 - (iii) details of disposal of surplus PCBs,(by ir.cinoration or by other nor.ns), including evalua tion of incinerator efficiency; 1 g) that ir.iplenontation of uor.suros adopted be reported rogularly to Council. 15.
