VINYL INSTITUTE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE/PYRROLYSIS TOXICITY
You recently asked if I and Dr. Steve Williams, Haskell Laboratories toxi cologist, would serve on the above committee to evaluate the pyrrolysis toxicity of polyvinylchloride. Dr. Williams has informed me that he could participate in this program and would like to receive pertinent documents.
Dr. C. Whetstone asked thst I call Dr. Charles Crane, FAA research labora
tories in Oklahoma Cit% and inquire about their pyrrolysis research program.
I learned that this research program has been quite active for several years
and has also Involved PVC (primates, rodents, etc.). John Punderson,
Du Pont, has visited the laboratory and Dr. Williams says Dr. Crane is an
expert in pyrrolysis toxicology. Perhaps we should visit the laboratory.
Pertinent laboratory personnel are:
Dr. C. R. Crane, (405-686-4866)
j
Dr. W. R. Kirkham, pathologist and director of research (405-686-20^1)
Mr. D. C. Sanders, technician
t
I look forward to serving on this committee and believe the PVC industry can profit from this venture.
W. D. Broddle, Ph.D. Senior Toxicologist
