for new regulation. More-restrictive-standards have been proposed for some of those sub
stances currently regulated. Thirty-one (31) substances are reported to the Michigan- \
Department of Natural Resources for computation of water surveillance fees. Michigan
plants used 1.3 million pounds of the twelve (12) carcinogens on the MDNR list. The largest
use was 6-11 thousand pounds of acrylonitrile at the PPV Paint Plant. Similar-data is not cur rently required to be reported in the other states. The list-of-carcinogens was prioritized by the Task Torce according to impact on the Company to identify the top eight (8). The top

The search for asbestos. chromium compounds nnd benzene defined the number of pnrts nnd materials containing these .substances ns listed in the table below. Where possible, the applications were divided into three groups: A - Known substitute material without major redesign, II - Known substitute material with mnjor redesign and C - No known substitute or advanced engineering required. The (latu is directional only. There remain muny suspect-- applications which require tiinc-consuming analyses for identification.

__ ^1*. i^^ ^_ Strategies have been formulated to eliminate or control these substances. The
recommended strategy is to proceed now to eliminate these tlirce carcinogens by Job #1, 1985,' in light of competitive and regulatory pressures, and Company experience. VMiere elimination cannot be contained, institute controls on design, process und exposure. It is judged that the elimination timetable is practical for Croup A asbestos, chromium compounds and benzene-containing parts and materials. For those applications requiring major redesign (Group B, e.g., drum brake linings) the elimination timetable would have to be adjusted to reflect Company cycle plans although.G.M. has stated un intent to eliminate ` asbestos by 1985. Finally, where no known substitute exists (Group C), advanced engineering will have to be completed before a elimination timetable can be established.
A generalized- workplan has been prepared on the basis of the evaluation of the carcinogens
already referred to. The workplan requires central program management, with action imple
mentation by NAAO/DPO Product Engineering Offices, Purchasing activities, Vehicle acti
vities and tlie Manufacturing and Supply Staffs. It is judged that approximately a year is
required to complete the sorting of the three carcinogens into the known substitute, major
redesign and advanced project groups. It is judged that one additional year would be
required to implement the most feasible product actions not requiring major redesign.
Substitution requiring redesign would take 33 months for vehicle or major powertrain pro
grams.

. CARCINOGENS IN THE WORKPLACE
Introduction
/
The Task Force on Carcinogens in the Workplace was established during the 4th quarter,
1979 by joint action of the E&R and M&S Subcommittees. The Task Force Charter was to
coordinate plans and efforts among Company activities, to identify carcinogens in use, and ,
eliminate or control them in future products and manufacturing operations. Task Force
findings and recommendations are summarized in the following pages. Detailed
determinations and other relevant data are presented in the Exhibits and Appendices.
,,
Background
Scientific investigations into the occupational factors involved in the development of
cancer, conducted in recent years, have provided evidence that occupational related cancer
is a serious concern. It has been estimated that in coming decades up to 20% and perhaps
as much as 40% of cancer in the U.S. might be associated with occupational factors.
Accordingly, Personnel and Organization Staff, Employe Health Services, has exerted a
continuing effort to provide employe protection, as knowledge of toxic/hazardous materials
has been introduced.
,1 , . ,
"
. Public concerns relating to the control of toxic/hazardous materials, are shared by Ford^ ,T-
duerto'the'Company's regard for public health and the protection of the environment and "
potential impact of legislation on our products and manufacturing operations. Also, the
right to examine the Hazardous Materials Catalog from the Company's computer file of
hazardous materials, and on-line access to the Materials and Toxicology System (MATS) has
been extended to the UAW by contract.
Resolution of workplace exposure concerns relating to the management of toxic/hazardous substances, materials, and wastes, involves a consideration of the relationship between the
00
_o
o 04
internal and external environments. Emphasis on wastewater pretreatment standards, toxic pollutant effluent standards, nonregulated/hazardous air pollutant emissions control and solid/hazardous waste management has been increased by governmental authority. These
Kn
rvi
factors reinforce the desirability of reducing the amount of residuals generated by
Company manufacturing processes and operations, through more efficient manufacturing
techniques as well as by materials substitution.
During the past decade, the Company was subjected to a growing number of laws which
regulate material use, transport, handling, and disposal (Fig. 1). Under certain of these
"-v^Acts, a "knowing/willful" criminal violation can expose individuals, including officers of the
^ Company, to five years imprisonment. Civil and criminal penalties, include maximum fines <>;
^up to $25,000 per day, and a citation normally consists of multiple related violations.
-
Litigation is also a growing concern. tAt present the Office of General Counsel has three
suits pending, involving deaths allegedly due to the inhalation of carcinogenic-substances.--^
^7" Some'Work man's Compensation expense has also been incurred. The-greatest potential for \
-major expense, however, lies in the possibility of punitive action by the court.
'
Internal and external pressures regarding hazardous substance control and compliance have increased substantially since March, 1977, when Directive B-101 was issued to assign responsibilities within the Company (Fig. 2). Since that time new standards have been issued, additional standards are anticipated, and the level of economic risk has increased.

In response to OSHA regulations in 1978, the Company removed lead
chromates and lead molybdates from paint used for topcoats on exterior and
interior surfaces, effective with Job #1, 1980. School bus yellow and fleet
vehicles were excepted. Also, "Tris" flame retardant treatment for fabrics,
was removed during 1977, in response to an inquiry by NHTSAi In response
to initial OSHA regulations in 1972, the Company determined plant areas in
which employe exposure to asbestos exceeded regulated limits. All domestic
line operations were apprised of the OSHA standards and the requirements
for employe protection and medical examination.. Car Engineering released
a practice banning new designs containing asbestos unless documented
rationale for its use is provided and it is encapsulated.
^
8003 1514
Nonproduction Materials
In 1969, sprayed-on structural steel fireproofing' containing asbestos fibers
was eliminated in all new and reworked construction. In 1970, Corporate
mechanical construction standards were revised to prohibit asbestos in
thermal insulation. Maintenance Bulletin No. 137 was published, prohibiting
the use of air blow-off in all brake/clutch maintenance and substituted
vacuum fiber/dust pick-up. In 1974, Steel Division light oil by-product
tanker loading operations were reviewed and personnel exposures were
pinpointed and appropriate protective equipment supplied. In 1977, the
Company replaced M-2C60 Series of maintenance lubricants with the lead
naphthenate free M-2C142 materials, and deleted the use of asbestos
bearing molding compound at Sheldon Road. In 1978, an adhesive used at
San. Jose was reformulated to eliminate benzene exposure. During 1979,
analytic chemistry procedures at Central Laboratories was-revised to
eliminate benzene, the volume of lead-chromate employed in vinyl plant
operations was reduced and ventilation/protective measures were identified
at the Romeo Tractor Plant to minimize hazards from chromium compounds
used in painting. (The substitution of non-hazardous paints is targeted fon
Romeo for late 1980.)

TASK FORCE CHARTER
To implement the charter, the Task Force has coordinated plans and efforts to identify usage of potentially carcinogenic substances, developed specific strategies to eliminate the use of these substances and initiated plans to find substitutes for substances ahead of government regulations. The complete Task Force Charter is shown in Figure 4.
In 1977, OSHA issued a draft policy listing numerous chemicals that could be classified as "Category I" and "Category II" carcinogens. According to OSHA's draft policy. Category I substances are known to be carcinogenic in humans or which have been demonstrated to be carcinogenic in two separate laboratory animal studies. Category II substances are so classified where data is suggestive or carcinogenicity in test animals and humans, or unreplicated tests indicate potential occupational carcinogen in a single mammalian test species.
- A listing of 67 Category I substances in use in the automotive indusr try has been prepared. (Exhibit I).
- For materials regulated by Michigan Department of Natural Resources, quantities have been determined, as shown in Figure 5. As reported to the State of Michigan, in 1979, the Company used asbestos onlv as articles. 81.377 Dounds of chromium comctounds. and

CARCINOGENIC SUBSTANCES
A prioritized list of Category I substances that are contained in materials used by the Company or generated as a result of Company operations, is shown in Figure 6. The current exposure limit for these substances is also provided. It is important to note that this does not represent an exhaustive list. (The complete listing is provided in Exhibit I.) The substances and their typical uses listed are presented in order of priority as established by Task Force consensus.
The ability to achieve the strategies designed to meet the objectives of the
Task Force was measured by evaluating the scope of usage of asbestos,
chromium and benzene (priority ranks 1, 2 and 3, respectively) as test cases
because they are considered by Operations and Staffs to have the greatest
Impact on the Company.
.
NAAO/DPO material uses of asbestos, chromium and benzene were systematically identified. Strategies to eliminate/control these materials,
in a practicable manner , in anticipation of Government regulations, were formulated. A plan to extend the strategy formulated for asbestos, chromium and benzene, to as many Category I substances in Company materials as possible, was established.

CARCINOGENIC SUBSTANCES
ASBESTOS'
During the past several years, positive evidence has established the link between the inhalation of asbestos-containing dust and chronic respiratory disease (asbestosis), as well as several forms of cancer. These include lung cancer, mesothelioma (cancer of the membranes lining the chest and abdominal cavities), and gastro-intestinal cancer. Asbestos is found in a variety of automotive components, and thus many occupational exposures are possible. The most critical exposure occurs during brake and clutch repair. A small number of Ford employes are potentially exposed due to repair of Company owned vehicles. The permissible exposure limit currently .regulated by OSHA, is 2.0 fibers per cubic centimeter of ambient air. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), an advisory group*,.and.OSHA have recommended that limits-be tightened to as low as 0.1 in 1980. Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology has issued bulletins detailing controls. An EPA ban on all non-critical uses may occur as early as 1985.

CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS
Some trivalent and hexavalent chromium compounds have demonstrated
potential health hazards to human organs and systems (See Figure 10). Chromium in hexavalent combination with hydrogen, the alkali-metals (e.g., sodium), ammonia and oxygen are considered noncarcinogenic. All other hexavalent combinations of chromium (e.g., lead and zinc chromates) are considered carcinogenic. The primary concern for exposure is through inhalation, potentially causing lung cancer.
A number of Ford employes have potential exposure to these compounds by
virtue of their handling of materials, primarily in paint making and
application. Protective measures are employed to assure .regulated limits
are not exceeded.

The current statutory limit is 52 mg/m although NIOSH has recommended lower levels (Figure 11). The classes of materials included in Figure 12 are of current concern since the most critical sources of exposure are in paint manufacture and application.

CARCINOGENIC SUBSTANCES
BENZENE
Benzene is a leukemia producing agent. Excessive exposure can result in a number of other adverse health effects (Figure 13). Benzene may enter the body by inhalation and/or skin absorption. At present, a small number of Company employes are potentially exposed to benzene in excess of one part of benzene per million parts of air and no employe is exposed in excess of 10 parts of benzene per million parts of air. These potential exposures result from the coke oven steel making processes, and employe protective measures are in effect. Permissible exposure limits allowed by regulatory agencies are summarized in Figure 14. The OSHA standard exempts employers who store, transport, distribute, disperse, sell, or use benzene as a portion of gasoline or other motor fuel after it has been discharged from a bulk terminal. This exemption was necessary since there is no possible way of controlling benzene exposure among service station personnel, mechanics, or tank truck drivers. Employe Health Services has reported that no indication of excessive exposure exists for Ford employes as a result of handling gasoline. Benzene occurs as an unintentional constituent in many materials used throughout the Company (Figure 15). Petroleum-related materials are of primary concern as they most likely contain benzene at levels that require consideration. (See Exhibit III)

Three Category I carcinogens were examined to determine material specifications, parts and
nonproduction uses, was-tedious and inexact. Existing data bases containing Engineering,
Manufacturing and Purchasing information were found-to--be--incomplete and not readily .(
accessible. In the absence of one reliable system, the detailed steps in Figure 16 were under
taken.
For production materials, each PEO reviewed the material/usage list for completeness and
established a list of parts and bulk materials of their design responsibility suspected of con
taining the subject substances. These lists were returned to Engineering Staff. E<JcRS con
solidated the lists (See Appendices) and provided them, along with the approved source and
material identifications^ to Purchasing and Supply Staff for supplier contact to determine
substance usage and to find out if there is a known substitute. Nonproduction materials were
Identified by similar methods, except for the PEO review.

MATERIALS AND TOXICOLOGY SYSTEM (MATS)
To overcome the deficiencies of manual and semi-computerized search methods, the Materials
and Toxicology System (MATS), under development, will'consolidate four systems: The
CATALOG of Hazardous Materials (P<JcO Staff); the Engineering Material Approved Source List
(E&R Staff); the Nonproduction Material Approved Source List (Mfg. Staff); the Environmental
& Process Engineering Review System (Mfg. Staff).

These Systems can be linked together with some manual effort to search for uses of suspect carcinogens in Company products as follows and diagrammed in Figure 17:
. 1. Materials containing suspect chemical compounds can be identified in the CATALOG.
2. Similar materials and the specifications to which they are approved can be found in the Approved Source Lists.
3. For Production materials, parts lists can be obtained from the engineering release system via the Engineering Material Specification.
4. With the parts list. Purchasing can determine quantity used and Manufacturing En gineering can determine processing methods.
Other functions of MATS include Approved Source Lists for production and nonproductionr materials, Michigan DNR Critical Materials usage reporting, CATALOG of Hazardous Materials for plant doctors and Rouge Poison Control Center, UAW contract agreement to provide nonconfidential list of hazardous material usage and precautions for each plant.

CARCINOGEN SEARCH RESULTS
From our examination of asbestos, chromium, benzene, a partial list of production and nonproduction material applications has been assembled.
These were classified as:

Known substitute material available for application with major
redesign;
.
L* _ .
No known substitute. Advanced Engineering Project required? f / )
Even in group A, extensive product or manufacturing engineering effort is required to implement a substitute material. A new material specification may be required, experimental parts must be fabricated and tested to arrive at a successful application. Purchasing must then renegotiate contracts for production or nonproduction applications. Realistic timetables and budget provisions must be established by the responsible manufacturing and product engineering organizations. Broad block timing is proposed later in this paper for the three materials examined in detail.

CARCINOGEN STRATEGIES
Three major strategic alternatives were considered for the elimination and control of carcinogenic substances. Twenty-six (26) OSHA Category I substances and Forty-one (41) substances that affect the auto industry and are proposed for regulation (MVMA analysis) provide the basis for these alternatives. NIOSH advised substance controls were deemed to be of lower ' priority.
It was agreed by the Task Force and PEO chief engineers that the Company should proceed now to eliminate asbestos, selected chromium compounds and benzene by Job #1, 1985. Where elimination cannot be contained, design, process and exposure controls would continue for specific applications.
Implementation of the recommended alternative can only proceed by specific effort on each of the unique applications identified to date. It is judged that elimination can be completed for applications where a substitute material is known and major redesign is not required. (Group A)
Elimination for applications requiring major redesign (Group B) or advanced engineering (Group C) can be initiated now but cannot with confidence be expected to be fully implemented in the 1985 time frame. Implementation decisions will have to be made for each application in the context of the vehicle cycle plan, component redesign, plans facility renovation/replace ment and the practicality of the substitute. ,

GENERALIZED WORKPLAN
The foregoing strategies, even though having been tested only for asbestos, chromium compounds and benzene, are judged to be appropriate for other carcinogens with timing adjusted to adapt to the realities associated with elimination. The first three actions of the workplan have been completed for asbestos, chromium compounds, and benzene. The fourth and fifth actions have been initiated and are expected to be completed by the end of July (asbestos), August (chromium compounds) and September (benzene). Classifying the substances should be completed in the first quarter of 1981. Completing the actions by these dates requires Corporate direction that the elimination/control of these substances is a mandatory priority effort. Without-such direction, vehicle, component, plant renovation and new construction programs will continue with insufficient emphasis on the elimination/control of carcinogens. Overall program management is essential to this effort.

PROPOSED CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES CONTROL
Personnel and Organization Staff has completed an analysis of the
requirements for chemical substances control.
.
It was concluded that designation of a Program Manager would be the least costly and disruptive means for improving coordination among involved activities and would help to surface crucial issued.' The Program Manager would have a small staff to assist in collection of data, preparation of reports, bulletins, liaison and other assigned functions (computer systems). Organizationally, an E&SES location was recommended.
In view of budget constraints, it has been agreed that the existing Comm-
pliance and Liaison Department would perform the Program Manager
function. The Manager should be responsible for implementing-carcinogen--
control strategies coordinating Company response to potential and promul
gated toxic substance regulation. Initial assignments include revising
Directive B-101 to clarify responsibilities, assuring that Operating Compon
ents and Staffs issue facing documents to B-101, establishing a financial
measurement of the compliance effort, and-assuming development direction
and control for the computer information system arid implementing the
workplan as-directed;
.
The ongoing responsibilities of the Chemical Substances Control Manager will be to coordinate the product/facility/manufacturing response of the Company to changing regulations. This will include governmental agency comments to proposed regulation, forecasting/regulatory'impact, direction and control of the information systems required, and compliance assurance.
It is recommended that the Carcinogen in the Workplace Task Force be
discontinued and that the Engineering and Research and the Manufacturing
and Supply Subcommittees name as a joint working group a Hazardous
Substances Control Committee. This Committee should be composed of
responsible executives from the areas shown on the facing page. It is
further recommended that the Committee be chaired by the E<5cSES repre
sentative./ Presently assigned responsibilities of Staffs and Operations
should remain essentially unchanged, except where supplemented or clarified
to-overcome present inadequacies.

CARCINOGEN SEARCH Materials and Toxicology System (MATS)
EXHIBIT II
To overcome the deficiencies of manual and semi-computerized search methods, the Materials
and Toxicology System (MATS), under development, will consolidate four materials approval
systems into one common data base. The four systems are: the CATALOG of Hazardous
Materials (P<5cO Staff) containing materials, their toxicological evaluation for worker/consumer
protection and the chemical composition, the Engineering Material Approved Source List
(E&RS) containing the material specification title and the materials approved to that
specification; the Nonproduction Material Approved Source List (Manufacturing Staff)
containing the nonproduetion material standard and the approved materials; and the
Environmental & Process Review System (Manufacturing Staff) containing the waste disposal,
treatability, and facility engineering cautions on all materials approved to Engineering
Specifications and Manufacturing Standards.
,
Carcinogen Search Strategy
Developing the links between the above systems will, in the future, provide a method for locat ing suspect carcinogens in nonproduction materials and production parts and bulk materials. The search methodology is numbered on the facing page to correspond to the following search steps:
1. The Chemical Abstracts Service numbers of the suspect carcinogens and its compounds are identified by IHicT. The system will then generate a list of materials which contain that chemical.
2. Utilizing the NAAO supplier code, the specification number and the product name, the
, system will then identify other suspect materials and specifications.
-
3. The Engineering Specification can then be passed to the North American Engineering Product Information System (NAEPIS) which contains the engineering notices from all of the product engineering offices. The NAEPIS system will then produce a cross reference list of all parts which use that material.
4. The list of production parts can then be matched to Purchasing's Procurement system to determine current sources to be queried for control and elimination of carcinogens. The same list can be matched to the AAD Process Sheet system to determine where and how the part or material is handled in AAD.
Functions
The primary function of MATS is to maintain and produce the Approved Source List for non production and production materials including the toxicology and environmental clearances for use by Purchasing. The system also produces the CATALOG of Hazardous Materials as either a full companywide print or as a plant specific print. The CATALOG is used by health and safety and plant doctors, and is required to be furnished to the UAW under the current contract. The system is also available to the plants and the Poison Control Center at the Rouge to be searched by supplier or specification for complete medical, handling, shipping, waste treatment and disposal instructions on a material.
The system also produces the Michigan DNR Critical Materials report for the consumption of materials which contain a Michigan defined "critical component" e.g., chromium.
Affected Activities
All Corporate Staffs concerned with materials/toxicological/environment controls are currently
Involved in using/developing the system. All NAAO/DPO plants arc planned to have access to
the system by third quarter 1980. All NAAO/DPO Engineering activities are also participating with the exception of Chussts which currently does not participate in material control as required by PEP 3-189.
