I have non found a copy of the short note Issued by TOO after the meeting, which I . enclose for your use, and onward transmission to CUE?. There sas really nothing in the meeting which might not have arisen at other similap'discussions anong those familiar with the problems ot/fCSs/, although clearly there was a slant towards the possiale^effects on human health. These effects did not get a great deal of discussion, except in the context of the Japanese experience with rice oil, which apparently is the only good example of the effects of ICBs on human beings. Is moet countries v sre likely to avoid such situations, the problem may be a rather academic one for most of us. lto one has as yet suggested that ICB levels in the environment are likely to create problems for those consuming environ mental materials as human food. I have no word of the final report, which is referred to at the bottom of the first page of this summary, ' With best wishes, Yours sincerely, f Mr . fUl MUMS 094071
