BFGOODRtCH COMPANY ALTC INFORMATION CENTER February 3, 1992 To: Bob Hinderer From: Patty Hanlon ALTC Information Center, Ext. 1175 Subj: Internal search request on monitoring of vinyl chloride Bob, I was asked by Jim Griffin to do a search similar to the one you requested from Peter Bowler, so Peter asked me to just forward you a copy of what I've given Jim. If, after looking the materials over, you need a different focus on the search or need any further help, just give me a call. BFG14874 tootesjz February 3, 1992 BFGOODRICH COMPANY ALTC INFORMATION CENTER To: Jim Griffin Safely Department From: Patty Hanlon ALTC Information Center, Ext 1175 Subj: Internal search for information on monitoring of vinyl chloride during the 70's Re: "Recommendations of Uniform BFG CG Procedures for Carcinogen Labeling of PVC Products" by Faber, Haller, Robertson, Tenney & Taylor. Jim, Enclosed are results of the search you requested from our "STAR" database of BFG reports. There are two listings of documents; both focus on anything regarding vinyl chloride and monitoring, detection, surveillance, exposure, hazards, safety or toxicity. The first listing is short, with only 13 items. I attempted to narrow the larger answer set down by searching on the authors you gave me plus a few more who appeared to be involved in that activity. You'll see mostly Haller, Decapita and O'Mara on the list The longer list contains 139 items, has a broader scope and may indeed contain some "false hits". I'd rather have you scrutinize the list for yourself than mistakenly edit out information that you might have found helpful. I found no traces of the publication you mentioned when we talked last Thursday in our database, but one title by Haller did stand out as being quite close: "Removal of 'CancerHazard' Labels from Geon latexes". Since I looked it up on the microfilm to see if it contained any references I printed a copy, and it is enclosed too. The short printout was sorted by every author name, so you will see duplications when there are two or more authors. The longer document listing is sorted by document date from newest to oldest, and since I put no date restrictions into the search you will see documents from the 80's and 90's also. Where the record states the document's date as 04 July 1776, it's not true and not a joke. Records converted from an older version of software that contained none had these inserted as "dummy dates". Documents with BFG numbers beginning with "03-" will be here on microfilm if you need any copies. Any others will have to be requested from Brecksville. Let me know if I can help any further on this.
