KCME. . 1. SENTINEL D. 2J.0CU FEB 4 1976 To abandon chemical Assemblyman John R. Zagame, R-117, Oswego, said that the decision of Monsanto Corp . St. Louis, Mo., to phase out production of the chemical PCEL is good news to the salmon fisherman. PCB, used in the manufacturing of electrical and industrial capacitors and transformers, has been found to cause serious health hazanfe to human beings, contended. Zagame Because it is widely used and is an inert substance, it has been found to lead! into water systems from dumps. It has shown up in tests by the Lake Ontario salmon restocking programs. Zagame said he was finalising a bill to forbid PCB in the state when Monsanto's decision was announced. He said he is considering legislation "to insure that the phaseout is completed within a reasonable Ume." Another bill he may draft would ban the Importation of PCB into New York from foreign sources. Monsanto plans to replace PCB with a more accceptabie chemical.
