The quantities detected are said to be in the parts per million and parts per billion categories. . It is claimed that the PCBs found strongly resemble chlorinated biphenyls containing 54% and 60% chlorine by weight. Products which are sold by Monsanto under the trade names of Arocloi 1254 and 1260 do contain chlorinated biphenyls. In addition to Arocloi 1254 and 1260, Monsanto sells certain functional fluids containing Arocloi. 1254. These include . Pydraul 625, Pydraul AC, Pydrauf AC - Winter Grade, Pydraul 540, Thermino^ FR-3 and certain dielectric formulations. Several other companies around the world also produce products containing chlorinated biphenyls. As your supplier of Arocloi 1254 and 1260 and formulated products containing 1254, we wish to alert you to the potential problem of environ mental contamination as referred to in the newspaper and magazine arti cles. We would like to point out the following additional facts: . 1. Products such as Pydraul 90,135, 230, 312, A-200, F-9, 150, and 60, Turbinol 153 and Therminol FR-1 and FR-2 are not forn2ul2.t6<3 wffji Aroclor 1254 or 1Z 60* 2, PCBs with a chlorine content of less than 54% have not been found in the environment and appear to present no potential problem to the environment. ) -2- We have developed, and are now testing, new formulations to replace the Aroclor1254 and 1260 components in our Pydraui products* The new products appear to be equal in performance and to have similar physical properties. We feel that all possible care should be taken in the application, processing and effluent disposal of those products to prevent them becoming environ mental contaminants. Of interest to you may be an article in Chemical Week, October 29, 1969, regarding water pollution standards set by each state in the Union. It is attached- This article reflects that good manufacturing practice in the future may require that no product used by any company should find their way intowaterways. We realise that you have marketed or may now market transformers and other electrical equipmentcontaining dielectric fluidswhich include Aroclor 1254 and 1260. Although these fluids are sealed into such equip ment it is recognised that occasionally the fluid may be lost through leaks resulting from equipment misuse or equipment repair necessitating replacement of the fluid. Since the dielectric fluid contained in this equipment is only an incidental part of the over-all unit manufactured by you, we are not notifying the purchasers of such equipment of the potential environmental contamination problem described in this letter. We do recommend, however, that you notify such equipment users of this problem. Sincerely yours, . i ' - j i ! : i i j lb Attachment Donald A.

Milt MONSANTO REPLIES TO CHARGE THAT PCB THREATENS ENVIRONMENT ST. LOUIS, April 10 -- Monsanto Company said today It was well aware of the concern over possible environmental contamination by polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), an Industrial chemical made by the company. Hie company began a six-point program in 1968 to properly Identify and measure PCB in the environment. Steps have been taken to strictly control use of the chemical and replace those grades of PCB which linger in nature. Monsanto's statement came in response to charges by Congressman William F. Ryan (Dem.) of New York that the discovery of PCB in the ecology represented a major threat. Howard L. Minckler, Monsanto vice president and general manager of its Organic Chemicals Division, said, "We have and will continue to cooperate fully with governmental agencies investigating this problem. We also have been in close contact with our customers. Monsanto has spent over $1 willion to verify or correct scientific reports, monitor the use of PCB and search for substitute products where needed. This program will be successfully concluded this year. --2 MONSANTO; REPLY TO PCB CHARGE xxx year. "It is unfortunate that Congressman Ryan evidently did not have all this Information at his disposal. Just last month we participated in a U.S, Department of the Interior meeting where we exchanged ideas with some 40 scientists and told them of our findings and actionsMinckler said. The'Monsanto executive also noted that the use of PCB is misunderstood by some investigators. "For example, we do. not know of any current use of PCB in insecticides. Even so, we are asking the U.S, Department of Agriculture to reject any insecticide which has PCB as an inert carrier," Minckler said. "PCB la not a household product, as some have suggested Minckler continued. "To our knowledge, it is not used in plastic food wraps, house paints, cellophane, asphalt or tires. The principal market is electrical applications where the chemical performs a vital function as an insulating fluid. In this use, PCB is completely sealed In a metal container. Other major markets employ similar closed systems." Monsanto's PCB program was initially directed at proper identification of chlorinated hydrocarbons appearing in the environment. This research, confirmed by others, found only the higher chlorinated materials. At the same time, Monsanto undertook animal feeding studies which show PCB is not a highly toxic material. . -more- 3 MONSANTO: REPLY TO PCB CHARGE xxx material. The Becond part of Monsanto's investigation vaa coordination with all customers and a rigid critique of its PCB manufacturing units. Although loss of PCB during manufacturing was negligible, production techniques were further modernised and new pollution abatement devices are continually being upgraded. Monsanto has concentrated its further research on those few PCB compounds which degrade slowly. Alternate products for these grades, which retain the functional properties of PCB and present no potential threat, will be Introduced later this year. Minckler concluded, 'Monsanto is seeking the best solution to this potential environmental problem. Action not based on reason and scientific facts can only result in greater problems. For example, we have been advised by one electrical equipment manufacturer that an immediate ban on PCB would result In major power failures throughout the world. This is not the answer. Proper use of this vital chemical and substitution, where appropriate, is the answer." -000 NEWS _ FOR RELEASE IMMEDIATELY 1970 Monsanto E. V.

LOUIS, July 16 -- Monsanto Company, sole U.S. producer of an industrial chemical called polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), today said recent political charges and sensational headlines about the chemical causing "a major ecological crisis" completely ignore voluntary actions the company has taken to restrict use of the material. M0ur program began back in 1968 with the proper identification and measurement of PCB in the environment and will conclude this year by our unilateral action to restrict its useHoward L. Minckler, company vice president and general manager of its Organic Chemicals Division, said. He added that Monsanto had not been pressured into action by any legislation or organized group. "We have taken decisive action based on evidence that PCB is a persistent chemical which builds up in the environment." -more- --2 MONSANTO: MINCKLER'S REPLY TO PCB CHARGES xxx environment." Commenting on a recent report that PCB can Induce birth defects in animals, Minckler said, "Monsanto is not aware of any scientific data that indicates polychlorinated biphenyls may cause birth defects. The results of comprehensive toxicity studies, sponsored by Monsanto and using the usual species of laboratory animals, have failed to produce such effects. "Scare tactics and sensational reporting do not serve the public interest nor solve ecological problems," he said. "Only a few reports have stated why PCBs were ever developed and why they are used today. Nor have the consequences of not using PCB been explained. "What should be emphasized," Minckler continued, "is that PCB was developed over 40 years ago primarily for use as a coolant in electrical transformers and capacitors. It is also used in coumercial heating and cooling systems. It is not a 'household* item. "Anyone who lives in a large city is familiar with power failures. During periods of peak power needs, air conditioning and refrigeration fail, lights go out and commuters are stranded. If power companies were to remove PCB from equipment, we have been told that major blackouts would occur throughout the world. -more- --3 MONSANTO: MINCKLER'S REPLY TO PCS CHARGES xxx world. "PCB is used in electricsl equipment as a safety fluid. It has replaced combustible oil products which have, cm many occasions, exploded and burned, causing deaths and injury to human life. Today state and local laws all over the country require the use of non-flammable fluids in certain electrical equipment as a safety feature. At the moment, there are no substitutes available which equal the safety performance of PCB." Monsanto said it Intends to continue selling PCB for "closed-system*' uses such as electrical components and heat-transfer systems. "With rigid control over where the product goes, how it is handled and disposed of, we beLieve the safety functions of the product can continue to serve society and the environment can be protected," Minckler said. "We are discontinuing saLes into 'open systems' -- adhesives, sealants, chlorinated rubber, specialty paints, etc. "For other uses, such as fire-resistant hydraulic fluids, where PCB cannot be strictly controlled, we have reformulated some fluids and they are on the market. The new products contain other fire-resistant ingredients. We will continue to develop alternate formulations which do not contain persistent PCB. We will not abandon hydraulic fluid users," Minckler commented, "as has been reported." -more- --4 MONSANTO: MINCKLER'S REPLY TO PCB CHARGE m reported." Monsanto has also established a new system for disposal or recycle of spent PCR. A special high-temperature incinerator will break down PCB into harmless materials. The company also regenerates spent fluids for reuse. The incinerator will be offered to customers who cannot otherwise destroy or regenerate their old fluids. "Although loss of PCB from our manufacturing plants has been negligible, we have further tightened up our production techniques and installed new pollution abatement devices," the Monsanto executive said. "1 repeat," Minckler concluded, "our program was initiated and conducted by Monsanto alone. It will be concluded this year. We believe It Is a position any responsible company would take." -0O0- 1 i f ! i f I z i I i. MCL000650 SImt T. July 24, 1970 IMieal Dept* PDA Quid*line for PCS'* In foods <p' H. 3. Bergen, BBKUi J.
