Kimberley Executive Vice President Lead Industries Association, Inc. 292 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10017 My remarks today will be brief and are intended to set the stage for tomorrow's papers about what we can expect relating to lead in the environment. I want to review five aspects of lead in relation to the environment and where we stand at this moment. 1. Lead in Gasoline. This problem is still not resolved and is even more intense today than a year ago. However, there is wider recognition of the complexities involved in this issue, which I shall discuss later. 2. Lead in Paint. The LIA has been extremely active in attempting to combat the problem of childhood lead poisoning resulting from chewing on old leaded paint. We have supported Federal and local legislation and regulation aimed at eliminating this problem. 3. Emissions.and.Effluents from Industrial Plants. The Clean Air Amendments of 1970 provide machinery by which the Environmental Protection Agency will move toward strict control of industrial emissions. At the moment, the EPA is utilizing the Water Refuse Act of 1899 and the Water Quality Act of 1970 to set up a permit system to:control industrial discharges into waters. Lead in Ceramics. We have been cooperating in research and action programs designed to assure that lead-glazed dinnerware will not release amounts of lead in excess of determined safe levels. The U.S. Potters Association now has a dinnerware surveillance program and is cooperating with the Food and Drug Adminis tration to test dinnerware on a regular basis and approve products found safe and acceptable for consumer.use - Presented at the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Lead Industries Association, Chicago, Illinois, Monday, April 5, 1971 LIA-77022 2 J. 'L. KIMBERLEY head in Food and Water. Some questions have been raised about lead :er -- other than what occurs naturally. Part of this interest cported findings of higher-than-acceptable levels of mercury in some a recent report of the U.S. Geoiogical Survey of more than 720 -hen from streams and lakes showed that lead levels in these vore -- with only three exceptions -- below the acceptable level, water. < ,:e five topics, the question of lead in gasoline has been and conv.ost importance. Despite some local efforts to control lead conten i:2ieve the ultimate resolution will be at the Federal level, fstration's present position is that there should be both . :ion to encourage use of at least low-lead if not no-lead gaso. s. This position is based almost entirely on the assumption the 1 .utomobile emissions -- hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and carbor. : e achieved with catalytic agents that do not function well or asoline. However, at this point there appears to.be no assurance o device has been developed that would meet,the auto emissions 975 --. which are to be 90 percent below the 1970 levels. A .cc-utives .were talking about devices to cost about $60. How they .-.ures of $200 to $300 -- a considerable difference. This cost 'evices within the same range estimated for thermal reactor : been demonstrated to work with leaded gasolines in reducing 1. d-for levels. itutilities are being explored. Such as a.lead trap ahead of , if' trap lead and other particulates before exhausts reach a ar position is that an acceptable emission control system hod to reduce lead emissions into the atmosphere. LIA-77023 - 3- J. L. KIMBERLEY Just last Friday, the Commerce Department's Panel on Automotive Fuels and Air Pollution issued a report that emphasizes the engineering, economic and regulatory problems involved in this issue. For example, about particulates, which include lead, the Panel stated, "There is a paucity of data available on the amount and nature of particulate emissions from cars." It should be noted that the Panel recommended steps be taken to assure availability of unleaded gasoline in at least one grade by July 1, 197**, and of a low-lead fuel by the end of 1972. But the Panel does not recommend elimination of leaded fuels, and recog nizes their function as a source of power, as economy for drivers, and as a conserver of crude oil.supplies. This Panel report is one indication, along with others, that efforts to show all sides of the lead-in-gasoline issue is leading to a broader understanding of .this complex environmental question. The prophets of doom predict catastrophe In less than two decades -- and they are being listened to. My conviction is that this is far from the truth and much.political and emotional hysteria overwhelm the facts. We can and will con trol possible hazards in the environment and are.already doing so. No one denies that too much lead can be perilous. But the lead industry has studied what is "too much" for decades and has shown that our progressing society can enjoy the benefits of lead in its many uses without being subjected to hazards, providing sensible precautions and proper control measures are taken. it it LIA-77024 APPENDIX "C" Annual Meeting Minutes April 5-6, 1971 LIA Staff Report (Presented by David M. Borcina) DEVELOPING LEAD MARKETS is the theme of this session. No subject is more vital to the lead industry,, Change, with ever in creasing rapidity, is a fact of our lives. Research, development and innovation are the inescapable indicators of that change. We at Lead Industries Association recognize these strong tides, given impetus -- in our case, by mounting attacks on lead in relation to public health and safety. We recognize these problems and take a positive posture in relation to them. The entire thrust of our staff work, our publicity, our advertising and our literature is to accentuate the positive. Take the current issue of "Lead" magazine for example. And by the way, I might point out that "Lead" magazine now has a circula tion of more than 85,000 readers most of whom have requested more information about lead. In terms of related magazine circulation, "Lead" has about 3 times more circulation than, say,"Engineering Mining Journal." And let's take a look at its positive editorial accent. Our most recent issue, for example, contains a feature article on the Mexico City Subway -- it stresses the important con tribution made by lead-sheathed cable to the efficiency of this sub way system. You'll also find a strong story on how sheet lead silenced air conditioning noise at a university medical school. Another story reports on how battery powered mini-buses were used at Expo 70. Other articles cover lead's benefits in ra diation shielding, plating, vibration pads and so on. Another part of our program is to see that positive arti cles of this kind regularly reach the special audiences they are designed for via the trade publications. We maintain constant pre ssure on this pipeline of publicity. As of this moment we have major articles in the hands of some 24 editors and publishers. The articles range all the way from: muffling machinery noise, water proofing, painting, corrosion protection, battery power to the exotic role of lead in the space program! How we took advantage of lead's applications in space is shown by an ad we ran that des cribes how lead is used, in preparation for launch, on-board during flight, and as a power source for equipment left on the moon. LIA-7 7 02 5 N 802.03 2- - APPENDIX MC" Annual Meeting Minutes April 5-6, 1971 Our technical, highly informative advertising to architects, design engineers and other technicians goes forward,. However, going into 1971, we have increased our information program to key business leaders, legislators and opinion molders by expanding our program in Business Week. Our ads focus on the theme: "Because Lead Is There" something positive, constructive occurs in your life: The car starts for the doctor on an emergency call,,, "Because lead is there," we are able to explore the ocean's depths -- and in another ad we take a nostalgic glance at Tom Swift and use it to emphasize that more than 1,000,000 lead acid battery vehicles -- lift trucks and personnel carriers -- are working in the U,S. today -- and who knows? Soon maybe back to Tom Swift days of on-the-road vehicles. The subjects of all these ads, stories, articles just don't fall out of the blue and land on our desks at 292 Madison, They re quire a great deal of missionary work and digging for the facts. And this is just a part of your staff's day-to-day activities. There are positive results of these promotional efforts! How do we know this? , Over 10,000 inquiries annually is one healthy index. Just a few examples: From the Naval Air Research FacilitySolder, From the Picker Corp, - Dispersion Strengthened Lead, From Bangor Punta Operations - Sound Attenuation, The American Metal Market in its special issue on April 5, 1971 headlined its piece, "Lead -- Unseen but Indispensable," You better believe it. ************ LIA-77026
