Question shrimp toxicology . especially ether toxic chemicals. . If Aroclor bad, others .. must be wofie. Probable Outcome We can prove some things are OK at low concentration. Give Monsanto same defense. We can't defend vs, everything. Some animals or fish or insects will be harmed. Aroclor degradation rate will be slow. Tough to defer.:, .jiihst.

Will have to have replacement product - with less-sensitive components. Work from this base on clean-up to prevent more pollution problems. Air. Compressor Fluids Hydraulic Fluids ' Must expect "shrimp" experiments. West Florida State, to be "alf*6d" sometime soon; next few months. This will lead to bad publicity and competitive action vs. all Pydrauls. We will have to try to confine to Aroclor 125^ and Aroclor 1260. OSH G142SS WATER PCB-SD0000067157 'Je will have to take action before that time. Gulf Coast - Action w. Richard Gallon/ Richard Be able to replace Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1260 in Pydraul AC and 625 la 2 month's time before Mov. 15, 1969. Have trial product in hands of Gulf Coast accounts and distributor before Dec. 15. Pallon Suggest possible buy .of "all phosphate" ester from Pood Machinery, Use this as one trial fluid MCS___ for insurance. Richard/ , Suggest possible substitution of Aroclor 5442 for Aroclor 1254 in hydraulic and compressor blends. E. Wheeler Judges lower order of toxicity and solubility for 5442 series. Have to test product in pump test for deposits. Pallon/ Suggest field trials of our own all-phosphate Richard ester. Pallon/ Kuhn/ Kountz Work with large customers to clean-up streams. Bring in Plndett as mfg. partner in the recycle business. Get money out of recycle operations. Inland-Waterways- `./heeler/ Be close enough to Great Lakes studies to Judge Richard situation. Are there animals which are being ' affected by the concentrations found? 1 Richard Be prepared to replace-Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1260 in 4 months in hydraulic fluids and in air compreasor fluids. r Richard Be prepared to replace all Aroclor 1242 or 124P . in 6 months in hydraulic fluids. This means * ' replacement of Pydraul 312 series, and control of sale of Aroclor 1248 to other hydraulic accounts such as Cities Service and Mobil.

Theroir.ol So in face of decreased Aroclor production, Ha and terphenyl supply nay become short. Switch customers to Theralnol 55 or Therainol 66 ahead of pollution problems in customers plant. Work with customers on plant and dumping practices. Plndett already set up to rework. Need to make them a manufacturing ant. We get sale of recycle-rework fluid.

Action Eng,,TSEPlant Pol lution Con trol Hodges/ Kountz Monsanto must start to work with capacitor people to clean up plant practices. We have set^ip to accept material for rework Into hydraulic fluid but this relocation Is not a satis factory solution. Material must be reworked to electri cal grade or destroyed, whichever is more economical Must start now to get con trol of off-grade material. Recommend replacement of future Arocler business with other products. Save 2 years. * Action Monsanto must help plant clean up of customer plaits cwc&ntation, coalescing, adsorption, dis posal of ad-c.-be.-.o or recycle of adsorbents. Monsanto badly needs "toow-how" for clean-up. Monsanto should seek Govt. contract -'money for clean-up research, (See MRC R. Binning, D. Nelson) q$h 014260 WATER PCB-SD0000067159 -o - Transformers Action Senignua/ Bryant Transformer Plant can operate in a clean, efficient manner with recycle of off-grade Aroclor. Should advise disposal of filter element materials so as to minimize chance of water pollution. Incinerate or dispose. Reworked transformers pose a threat if the Aroclor is dumped into a water stream. product transformers can remain clsie.; ano exposure for 2= yShould try to resair. business by clear.-no by education of custoners. * i1 l<*t Action Senlgnus/ Bryant Should try to minimize chance of dumping ''old" fluid by reworking and by educating co. shops and collecting product for rework or disposal. Dalton is set up in England to rework electrical grade fluid. Kuhn/ICountz Findett? Heed rework facility here + disposal scheme. Monsanto Plants The Dept, of Interior and/or State authorities could monitor plant outfall and find ppa of chlorinated biphenyls at Krunmrich or Anniston anytime they choose to do so. This would shut us down depending on what plants or animals ^ they choose to find harmed, . Action - Take steps to see that every precaution Is taken to prevent Aroclor entering water streams. Try 1 to reduce to ppb level. . ? .Hodges-Seek a Oort, contract on adsorption and incineration TSD cycles - MRC.

Bio-Test Wheeler Keller Ind .Bio- Test Continue studies to establish TEA type limits of toxicity on Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1260. ` Rework with R. Xsller-S. Tucker the number of samples which are to be analyzed for Aroclor In tissue. Try to see if Aroclors are ehanged metabollcally. Dees concentration level off, decline If feeding is stopped? ," , ' Institute studies against the most limiting biological parameters. If shrimp are the most limiting species for Aroclor levels of toxicity, then we will have to have biological studies on these species to con firm or deny adverse findings.
