Robert, I' glad that you continue to follow cloely oar opportunities and problems with perrtachlorophnates here in the States. There has bean each discusion boat new regulation* for the products at a lower level of dioxins. To date, nothing is firm and Z really can't give you any firs information.
One of our competitors, Dow, has now con e oat with a product that has about 1/10 the aaoant of chlonnared dioxins in it as oar product does and have received s registration from the government. To date, oar registration continues to be valid and no one has set any now standards. There is such activity in scientific circles on diooHw* aad fnr^n^ and va taaow there is going to be pressure on us to do this sonatina in the near future. When we get to that point and I can give you something store definite, we'll certainly pass it along to you. In the meantime any activity you hear in that area should be reported.
Best regards.
