Dear Sir
On behalf of a new magazine, entitled 'Your Environment',
which has recently made its appearance in England, I am reporting as a
civil engineer on various aspects of water resources management and
pollution control.
In particular I am making a study of any recorded lethal
or sub-lethal effects of P.C.B.;s, as found as residues in the bodies
of mammals. Concern has recently been focussed on this chemical in
England as a result of sea-bird deaths last fall, although such concern
has no statistical basis.
.
As I understand that you are manufacturers of P.C.3.;s,
perhaps you would like to comment, on the possible effects of the residues
found in the environment, and whether you consider such residues to have
harmful effects. I further understand from Konsanto(England) that1/ you have
carried out tests on rodents which indicated no ill effects. T shall be
most obliged if you will let me have a full description of any such
tests, including ikm the testing conditions, the results, and your
findings. Any references to experience with P.C.B.'s elsewhere will
also be welcome to mo.
