CASE CV-S-89-555-LDG (LRL)
PLAINTIFF NEVADA POWER COMPANY'S MAY 28, 1993 ANSWERS TO DEFENDANTS' SEPTEMBER 14, 1992 CONTENTION INTERROGATORIES
As required by the Court's scheduling order, plaintiff Nevada Power Company ("Nevada Power") responds to defendants' September 14, 1992 contention interrogatories. Nevada Power reserves the right to supplement these responses after court-established deadlines for other disclosures, such as the substance of fact and
1 i;
expert witness anticipated testimonies, and after it has completed
discovery in this matter.
INTERROGATORY NO. 6 :
For each defendant, separate[ly] state and identify each fact,
document, and witness in support of your claim for failure to warn.
ANSWER TO INTERROGATORY NO. 6 :
1. In addition to the contentions below, Nevada Power
incorporates by reference the contentions in its Complaint, or as
later amended pursuant to stipulation or Court approval. Defendant
Monsanto manufactured dielectric fluids containing polychlorinated
biphenyls ("PCBs"), and sold them as commodity chemicals to
defendants Westinghouse and General Electric, as well as to other
companies, all of whom used the Monsanto dielectric fluids in
transformers and capacitors sold to plaintiff (hereafter "PCB
electrical products"). Monsanto was, at all relevant times, the
sole U.S. supplier of dielectric fluids containing PCBs to the U.S.
electrical utility industry, engaging in direct sales to companies
such as Nevada Power, and indirect sales through equipment
suppliers such as defendants G.E. and Westinghouse, who placed the
fluids in electrical equipment sold to Nevada Power and who also
sold Nevada Power replacement fluids under their own trade names.
Monsanto was the ultimate source of all dielectric fluids
containing PCBs acquired by Nevada Power.
(The specific
transformers and capacitors, their dates of purchase, and the
resulting damages proximately caused to Nevada Power's system of
generating and distributing electricity, as measured by the cost of
2
repair or replacement, have been identified in prior interrogatory
responses, responses to requests for production, and in deposition
testimony of Nevada Power officials and exhibits thereto. Rather
than needlessly re-explore those topics, with which defendants are
intimately familiar, Nevada Power incorporates by reference its
prior discovery and deposition responses.)
2. The PCB electrical products purchased by Nevada Power
from General Electric, Westinghouse, and other electrical equipment
manufacturers were all unreasonably dangerous in one or more
respects, including but not limited to the extreme environmental
hazard, persistence, and human and animal toxicity and
bioaccumulative properties of PCBs and other associated chemicals
known as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins ("PCDDs") and
polychlorinated dibenzofurans ("PCDFs"), which are: (i) present as
contaminants in PCB electrical products; and [ii ] unavoidably
formed in hazardous quantities when dielectric fluids containing
PCBs and other ingredients deliberately added by Monsanto such as
chlorobenzenes are heated, as occurs in fires.
3. PC B s , PCDDs, and PCDFs, because of their persistence,
bioaccumulative properties, and toxicity, have accumulated
generally in the environment and in human and animal tissues to the
point where they have created a cumulative hazard to humans and
their environment.
Each defendant has contributed to that
cumulative hazard to a significant degree, both through their
respective parts in the manufacture and sale of PCB electrical
products and through their manufacture and sale of other products
3
containing PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs, all of which have resulted in the discharge of those substances to the environment, creating a cumulative hazard to human health and the environment when combined with the environmental releases of other manufacturers' products containing PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs.
4. The cumulative hazard substantially contributed to by each defendant created a situation in which any further release to the environment of PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs exacerbates the hazard to humans and their environment and renders defective all transformers and capacitors on Nevada P o w e r 's system containing any level of PCBs, because of the infeasibility of preventing transformer and capacitor failure resulting in PCB, PCDD, and PCDF discharges to the environment. Nevada Power's damages, the cost of repairing or replacing all equipment in its system containing any detectable level of PCBs, are thus the proximate result of a cumulative, indivisible wrong committed by all defendants and by others not party to this suit, for which each defendant is jointly and severally liable.
5. At no time prior to purchase and sale of the products at issue did any defendant give Nevada Power or any other member of the American electrical utility industry a warning that was timely, reasonable, or adequate to cause a reasonable person to exercise the level of care and caution necessary to avoid the harm that befell Nevada Power commensurate with the dangers thereof. Had any defendant done so, Nevada Power could have avoided the damages inflicted upon it by a variety of means, including: [i] designing
4
its system differently so that transformers and capacitors containing or resulting in the formation of PCBs, PCDDs, or PCDFs were unnecessary; [ii] purchasing alternative equipment that either was or would have been available which did not contain or result in a cumulative PCB, PCDD, and/or PCDF hazard; [iii] designing its system in such a manner that any spills or leaks of dielectric fluids creating a P C B , PCDD, or PCDF hazard were avoided or contained; and [iv] to the extent that Nevada Power may have itself exacerbated the problem by adding PCBs to electrical equipment not already containing PCB dielectric fluids, not doing so.
6. At the time of purchase and sale of each item of equipment at issue, each defendant owed Nevada Power Company a non delegable duty to communicate adequately the dangers that might result from its use or foreseeable use, and to warn of all dangers resulting from use of the product that defendants had reason to anticipate. Each defendant breached that duty, proximately causing Nevada Power's damages, for which they are strictly liable, and for which they are liable in negligence. Moreover, because Monsanto, as a manufacturer, was at least negligent in its breach of its duty to warn, defendants G.E." and Westinghouse are strictly liable as revendors. That defendants owed Nevada Power a duty to warn is established by the facts that: [i] Nevada Power was a foreseeable victim of a lack of adequate warnings; [ii] a series of defendants' own documents, predating purchase and sale, discussed their potential liability and need for warnings; [iii] defendants' entry into indemnification agreements that anticipated this lawsuit; and
5
I
[iv] defendants' documents and testimony of their present and former officials, all attesting to defendants' knowledge of particular product hazards to humans and the environment, and the likelihood of government regulation of the products at issue, prior to the time of purchase and sale.
7. That defendants breached their duty to adequately warn is established by facts that, prior to the time of purchase and sale: [i] each defendant knew that dielectric fluids containing PCBs were far more hazardous than was communicated to Nevada Power? [ii] each defendant had adopted hygienic policies and procedures far more stringent than Nevada Power was advised were necessary, based on defendants1 belief that PCBs were far more hazardous than was communicated to Nevada Power ? [iii] each defendant knew that government regulation of dielectric fluids containing PCBs was likely but did not warn of that risk; [iv] none of defendant G.E. 's and Westinghouse's sales persons who called upon Nevada Power were ever advised by their employers that PCBs were hazardous; [v] none of defendants ever communicated to Nevada Power the fact that their PCB dielectric fluids contained or would form PCDDs and PCDFs; [vi] defendants Westinghouse and G.E. solicited and Monsanto provided information intended to help protect Westinghouse and G.E. workers from poisoning but that information was never adequately communicated to Nevada Power; and [vii] Monsanto communicated the need for certain customer warnings to Westinghouse and G.E., but neither Monsanto itself nor G.E. nor Westinghouse adequately communicated such warnings to Nevada Power.
6
8. Dielectric fluids containing PCBs are unreasonably hazardous and defective at any detectable level of PCB concentration because of their cumulative hazard as discussed above, because of the potential liability for utilities using or disposing of them, because they are normally mixed with petroleum hydrocarbons requiring total cleanup if accidently released to the environment, because wastes containing any level of PCBs are not accepted by disposal facilities other than hazardous waste facilities at unreasonable expense, and because it is more likely than not that regulatory agencies will in the near future require removal to present limits of detection.
9. Because, as is discussed in response to interrogatory seven below, defendants1 acts complained of rise to the level of fraud, or were malicious, in conscious disregard for the interests of Nevada Power and others similarly situated, defendants should be taxed with punitive damages.
10. While defendants' interrogatory did not call for such detail, Nevada Power anticipates that the more specific facts stated in Appendix A hereto will be presented at trial.
11. Documents supporting the contentions above are described in Appendix B. In addition, Nevada Power gives notice of its intent to rely upon any or all exhibits to depositions not listed in Appendix B, as well as other documents not yet received from defendants in response to discovery requests. Furthermore, Nevada Power anticipates that the significance of some documents already
7
received from defendants will not become apparent until further discovery is conducted.
12. Nevada Power has not yet determined who its trial fact witnesses will be. Those persons tentatively identified as such include the persons listed below. (Nevada Power anticipates that the list will be narrowed considerably by the date set by the Court for disclosure of fact witnesses and a summary of their anticipated t e s t i m o n i e s .)

All persons whose depositions defendants have taken or will take in this litigation INTERROGATORY N O . 7:
11
For each defendant, separately state and identify each fact, document, and witness in support of your claim for fraud. ANSWER TO INTERROGATORY NO. 7 :
1. Nevada Power incorporates by reference paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 stated in response to Interrogatory Number six above, excepting the legal conclusions contained therein. Such of those contentions regarding defendants' failure to warn of dangers they should have reasonably anticipated are restated to show that defendants suppressed or concealed information that would have, if it had been revealed, allowed Nevada Power to avoid its resulting proximately caused damages.
2. Prior to the time of purchase and sale, each defendant knew that PCBs were highly toxic to humans and adopted stringent industrial hygienic procedures and policies to protect their own workers from harmful exposure to dielectric fluids containing PCBs. Despite their prior knowledge of demonstrated PCB human health effects such as chloracne, liver toxicity, serious systemic injury, and lethality, each defendant deliberately misrepresented medical facts to the utility industry through its trade associations and to government agencies and Westinghouse and G.E. represented to Nevada Power, that PCBs had a long history of safe use, that they caused only minor reversible skin irritations, and that they were non toxic to humans. Defendants also stressed to the utility industry through its trade associations, through advertisements, through instruction manuals ; to government agencies ; and defendants
12
Westinghouse and G.E. represented to Nevada Power that dielectric fluids containing PCBs were indispensable ingredients for preventing electrical fires. Moreover, defendants Westinghouse and General Electric conspired with each other and with other manufacturers of transformers and capacitors to fix prices and rig bids for the sale of such equipment to utilities such as and including Nevada Power. The goal of defendants Westinghouse and G.E. engaging in this price-fixing conspiracy was to create an artificially high and stable market for transformers and capacitors, thereby stifling and restraining innovation and competition in that type of equipment, and to avoid the capital costs of research and development on alternative or lower-priced equipment. Both G.E. and Westinghouse, and several of their policy-level managers, received criminal convictions for engaging in this conspiracy.
3. The truth, known to defendants at all relevant times prior to purchase and sale of equipment containing PCB dielectric fluids to Nevada Power, commencing in the 1930s and with guilty knowledge constantly expanding thereafter, is that those fluids have a wide range of toxic effects, are so hazardous that the services of an industrial hygienist and rigorous worker hygienic practices are required to avoid hazardous employee exposure, that alternatives to their use were available, and that more alternatives would quickly be developed if utility customers were
13
to learn their true hazards, thereby creating market demand for them.
4. In order to prevent utility customers from learning of the true hazards of dielectric fluids containing PCBs and upsetting their intentionally dishonest and unfairly lucrative pricing arrangements, Westinghouse and G .E . intentionally concealed the true hazards of dielectric fluids containing PCBs from its own salesmen who called on Nevada Power and other electrical utilities, and crafted sales literature and instruction manuals portraying to their utility customers including Nevada Power' that dielectric fluids containing PCBs were innocuous mixtures causing only mild and transitory health effects with massive oral doses required to create serious injury.
5. Westinghouse and G . E . 's withholding of information about the actual hazards of PCB toxicity from its own sales engineers occurred with knowledge that its sales engineers frequently went to work for utility companies such as Nevada Power Company after leaving the defendants' employ, and that their ignorance of those hazards would inevitably be reflected in orders for equipment containing the hazardous PCB dielectric fluids. This was the case at Nevada Power, where a former Westinghouse engineer was hired to design major portions of Nevada P o w e r 1s electrical system that included equipment containing PCB dielectric fluid.
6. Together with Monsanto, Westinghouse and G.E. alsoengaged in a campaign of deceit to suppress and deliberately
14
downplay throughout the electrical utility industry the hazards of PCB dielectric fluid. The goal of this effort was to induce the industry, including Nevada Power, to rely upon the intentional misrepresentations and to purchase dielectric fluids containing PCBs.
7. Defendants G.E. and Westinghouse knew that mineral oil transformers they sold to Nevada Power Company were contaminated with PCBs, yet they intentionally misrepresented to Nevada Power Company that the transformers contained only mineral oil. These misrepresentations were intended to persuade Nevada Power Company to purchase defectively hazardous equipment, and Nevada Power's reliance on those misrepresentations were the proximate cause of a portion of Nevada Power's damages.
8. By the mid- to late 1960's, each defendant had learned that PCBs were accumulating throughout the environment and were causing serious environmental damage. Defendants each concealed this information from equipment and PCB dielectric fluid purchasers such as Nevada Power in a successful effort to continue sales despite knowledge of the hazardous defect in the product.
9. In the early 1970s, defendants realized that restrictions on the discharges of PCBs to the environment were unavoidable because of looming government regulation in other countries and in individual states. In an effort to delay regulation and to downplay the hazards of PCB dielectric fluids, defendants instigated, through the National Electrical Manufacturers' Assn, an
15
effort to create industry standards for the electrical utility
industry through a group known as the C-107 Committee of the
American National Standards Institute. During the lengthy period
while the ANSI committee met, defendants continued selling their
defective products to Nevada Power Company, knowing that their
representations of fitness for the intended purpose were bald lies
and would be superseded by ANSI standards.
10. In a further effort to delay government regulation,
defendant Monsanto commissioned animal studies of PCB effects at a
testing laboratory known as Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories
("IBT").
Monsanto deliberately solicited and obtained
falsification of IBT tests in order to obscure the hazards of PCBs
and create "defensive data." Monsanto then used the falsified data
and the assistance of corrupt scientists at Industrial Bio-Test in
a deliberate effort to create "conflicting data" with an honestly-
conducted government-sponsored study, thereby delaying government
regulation. One of the corrupt scientists involved was later hired
directly by Monsanto and given an award for the above-described
work in delaying government regulation of PCBs.
11. When Monsanto finally decided that it had no choice but
to limit sales of PCBs because of public and government concerns
about PCB hazards, Monsanto cold-bloodedly compared its projected
profits with projected liability awards against the company and
chose to continue selling PCBs for use in equipment sold to Nevada
Power and the electrical utility industry because it projected that
16
its profits would exceed liability awards in cases such as this. However, Monsanto decided to do s o , only if defendants G .E . and Westinghouse would agree to indemnify Monsanto for any losses in cases such as this. All defendants entered into this agreement, establishing their malicious intent to continue profiting by defrauding customers such as Nevada Power.
12. From the 193 0s onward, defendants regularly exchanged information regarding the harmful effects of PCBs and dielectric fluids containing PCBs in order to develop hygienic practices to minimize toxicity to their own workers. At least by the early 1970s, Monsanto had conducted its own tests and warned G.E. and Westinghouse that combustion of dielectric fluids containing PCBs would produce highly toxic PCDDs and PCDFs. Despite these warnings to each other, each defendant concealed that fact and continued selling dielectric fluids containing PCBs, knowing that an extremely hazardous situation would result if PCBs were burned indoors, the primary place where defendants G.E. and Westinghouse recommended use of dielectric fluids containing PCBs in order to prevent the hazard of fires. Despite this guilty knowledge of the hazard of transformers and capacitors located indoors, defendants opposed, through their trade association, government regulation of PCBs in indoor locations with "defensive data" intended falsely to show that there was no PCDD or PCDF hazard resulting from such uses and delayed related government regulation for several years. Defendants' goal in this massive subterfuge was to continue selling
17
their defective equipment to Nevada Power and other members of the American electrical utility industry, despite their knowledge that the products were defectively hazardous.
13. No later than early 1988, defendants Westinghouse and G. E . had built up such a stock of "smoking gun" documents, they found it necessary to implement plans to destroy records that might create liability in cases such as this one.
13. While defendants1 interrogatory did not call for such detail, Nevada Power anticipates that the more specific facts stated in Appendix A hereto will be presented at trial in support of the fraud claim.
14. Documents supporting the above contentions are described in Appendix B. In addition, Nevada Power gives notice of its intent to rely upon any or all exhibits to depositions not listed in Appendix B, as well as upon other documents not yet received from defendants in response to discovery requests. Furthermore, Nevada Power anticipates that the significance of some documents already received from defendants will not become apparent until further discovery is conducted.
15. Nevada Power has not yet determined who its trial fact witnesses will be. Those persons tentatively identified as such include the persons listed above in response to Interrogatory Six (Nevada Power anticipates that the list will be narrowed
18
considerably by the date set by the Court for disclosure of fact
witnesses and a summary of their anticipated testimonies.)

APPENDIX A
SPECIFIC FACTS TO PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS
In October 1975, the EPA wrote to Monsanto requiring the answers to 11 questions. QUESTION 10 asked for:
"A description of any adverse health or environmental effects which you know or believe to have resulted from the introduction of PCB compounds or mixtures into the environment. Indicate any specific occasions including dates, times, locations, amounts, and parties involved for which such effects are known."
In response, Monsanto employee David Wood wrote to Monsanto employee William Papageorge and, specifically, in reference to question 10, stated: "None? Yusho? Chloracne years ago - Dangerous question."
In its final response to the EPA to question 10, Monsanto stated: "Monsanto Company is not aware of any health or environmental effects resulting from the introduction of PCB compounds or mixtures into the environment which has not been reported in the scientific and popular press and already known to representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency."
Prior to 1977, no manufacturer of PCBs or of products containing PCBs that were sold to Nevada Power adequately warned Nevada Power about the dangers from exposure to PCBs.
GE wrote in 1972 that the only harmful effect of PCBs on workers was limited to nonchronic chloracne or other temporary skin irritations, misleading the reader about the known toxic effects of PCBs.
At some time post-1973, General Electric stated in its instructions for Pyranol insulating liquid that exposure to Pyranol was relatively harmless to humans, although it still recommended that exposure be held to a minimum, and that operating procedures should require avoidance of contact with Pyranol.
In 1985, General Electric offered services to aid in solving problems with accidents involving PCB-contaminated equipment, and offered to take title and assume full liability for the proper and legal handling and disposal of all PCBs and related equipment.
GE had product specialists for most products.
GE provided marketing information and application information for their electrical apparatus to customers.
GE recommended Pyranol transformers to customers for indoor use.
GE assessed the health effects of PCBs in "The Human Health Effects of Electrical Grade PCBs" authored by Dr. John Brown and Dr. Pocock and Mr. Coe in August, 1981. GE also collaborated in an article which analyzed the intake of polychlorinated dibenzo furans in the Yusho patients.
In 1976, Doctors Richard Lawton and Joseph Feingold, who provided contract medical services to General Electric, initiated a study of GE capacitor workers known to be exposed to PCBs, to attempt to determine if there was any relationship to health or clinical findings related to their levels of PCB exposure. Their findings were published in Effects of PCB Exposure on Biochemical and Hematological Findings in Capacitor Workers in Environmental Health Perspectives in 1985. They were also published in Comparability and Precision of Serum PCB Measurements, reprinted in the Archives of Environmental Health in 1985.
In 1969, Monsanto wrote to General Electric regarding a news
article based on marine life research which described PCBs as "a
menacing new pollutant."
The article stated that PCBs were
killing certain marine birds and posed a long-term threat to
humans. Monsanto disputed implications from Swedish and American
scientists that PCBs were highly toxic chemicals, and stated that
PCBs were not toxic unless they were mishandled or misused, as
shown by more than thirty years of U.S. production and use.
All defendants misrepresented the risks inherent in the NEMA official standards proposal dated January 25, 1973. The Risks Section III, Section I, Page 1, understates the hazards associated with polychlorinated biphenyls, these hazards were known and widely discussed by the defendants at that time.
Monsanto, Westinghouse and General Electric, through ANSI Guidelines for Handling and Disposal' of Capacitor and Transformer Grade Askarels Containing Polychlorinated Biphenyls approved January 9, 1974 misrepresented the known risks and effects of PCBs at that point in time.
In February of 1975, Westinghouse sent a list of seven questions asked by its workers regarding the health hazards of PCBs to Monsanto and asked that Monsanto formulate answers for those questions regarding Inerteen and Askarels. Nevada Power never saw the questions, nor was it provided the answers to those questions.
In 1966, Monsanto first heard of PCBs as a potential environmental contaminant.
2
In 1957, Monsanto prepared and circulated a technical bulletin seeking expanded use of PCBs into other uses, such as swimming pools and highway markings. The toxicity section of the bulletin said PCBs are not serious industrial health hazards and that there are few instances of skin irritation, thus misleading the readers in an attempt to expand their business.
In 1973, Monsanto wrote to a Westinghouse employee regarding skin irritations that employee had experienced with a PCB product. Monsanto wrote that the PCB mixture was practically "non-toxic" and that it is non-irritating when exposed to the skin, misleading that employee about the known harmful effects of PCBs.
In 1972, Monsanto's confidential in-house Industrial Chemicals Company Functional Products Group report listed biphenyl and Aroclor as highly toxic when ingested or inhaled.
In a 1972 letter to EPA Monsanto claimed that in an effort to safeguard the environment it had already informed all customers of PCB materials of the potential dangers should these materials escape. It was not until June, 1973 that Monsanto advised a customer that PCBs "may be considered contaminants and may adversely affect some species of animal and marine life."
In a May 1972 report to the Interdepartmental Task Force on PCBs, Monsanto represented that the bulk of PCB homologues released to the environment are subject to environmental degradation.
In a July 1973 letter to the EPA, Monsanto states that it began commercial production of PCB in 1929 and that handling of the product at the manufacturing level has not presented problems so long as the proper industrial hygiene practices were followed. The letter also states that PCB levels in the environment have dropped and recommends that PCB ef fluent standards not be established because of the lack of scientific data.
After a study generated by Dr. Kimbrough that found an alarming rate of liver cancer in rats fed Aroclor 1260, NIOSH called a meeting to explore whether Monsanto had a suitable occupational group for study to assist in studying the potential chronic effects of PCBs.
Even through 1974, Westinghouse told employees during a meeting on the use of Inerteen that unless it is consumed it presents no real danger to them. It was not until 1975 that Westinghouse requested information on the toxicity of Aroclors. Only after receiving questioning did Monsanto admit that Inerteen can cause permanent health effects to humans, and excessive exposure may cause liver damage and chloracne. Monsanto also asserted there should not be any effect on an employee or his family from home laundering of inerteen contaminated clothing. Monsanto also stated there is no evidence that PCBs cause sterilization in humans.
3
In response to a 1975 request by Westinghouse for medical health information, Monsanto hand-delivered a reply in order to "avoid undue concerns and misunderstandings."
By 19 69, Monsanto was working on a substitute fluid for PCBs. Monsanto anticipated terminating use of PCBs because of "pressure on PCBs," not because of concern over environmental contamination. No indemnity agreement was anticipated to be necessary for MCS 1238 because such agreements imply the material is hazardous and undesirable.
In 1975, EPA reported sampling data indicating the presence of PCBs and comparable compounds in the ai r , water bodies, and fish in several parts of the United States. EPA issued Monsanto a Section 308 request for information on their production and use of PCBs pursuant to EPA's authority under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
In 1975, Monsanto and NIOSH attempted to refute Dr. Kimbrough;'s findings that Aroclor 1260 caused liver cancer in rats. Monsanto and NIOSH also met with several government agencies for the purpose of showing that 1) Monsanto took positive action in response to Dr. Kimbrough's report, and 2) Industrial Bio Test and Eppley Institute found the lesions were not hepatocellular carcinomas. Neither Monsanto nor NIOSH denied that the PCBs caused liver damage.
In 1976, despite its knowledge that skin contact with Askarels could cause chloracne and inhalation of fumes could cause serious systemic effects, Monsanto maintained that at ordinary temperatures Askarels did not present industrial toxicological problems.
In the early 1970s Monsanto developed and implemented a "worldwide PCB action plan" to establish and promote to customers a control and phase-out program for PCBs. As part of this plan, Monsanto required customers of PCB dielectric fluid to sign indemnity agreements.
By the early 1960s, Monsanto was the only American plant producing PCBs.
In the mid-1960s, the manager of pollution control at Monsanto instructed workers to avoid inhaling vapors from hot PCB operations and not to get it on their skin because it will cause thermal burning.
In 1979 and thereafter, Monsanto provided documents that had to do with health effects of PCBs, studies done by outside consultants to Monsanto, and published peer review journal literature to Congressman Eckhart's subcommittee and agencies including the Edison Electric Institute/USWAG committee, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, and the American Public Power Institute, and tracked pending PCB legislation.
4
Monsanto participated in the Industry Consensus Group, formed in 1980 or 1981, which standardized the manufacturing industry's position for members1 intervention in EDF and NRDC suits and provided information to Congressman Eckhart's subcommittee.
In 1985, Monsanto prepared Material Safety Data Sheets on PCBs from information in Monsanto1s files as well as information gathered from published literature.
In the lab during 1967-1969, PCB researchers used ventilation fume hoods, but not necessarily gloves because they did not touch the PCBs.
In the 1950s, Monsanto conducted research on pollution control including PCB discharges.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Monsanto participated in pollution control committees of the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission, the Manufacturing Chemists Association, and the American Petroleum Institute.
In the early 1970s, Monsanto met with General Electric about a problem at the Hudson River plant. Monsanto gave General Electric information about maintaining health and safety when using Aroclors. Monsanto also shared information on the environmental properties of Aroclors, biodegradation studies, and analytical methods.
In 1971, William Papageorge of Monsanto represented to an ANSI Committee C-107 that the world-wide perception of PCBs was that they were inert and would do no harm to the metabolism of any creature or vegetation.
Nevada Power was not aware of health or safety issues related to PCBs in electrical equipment prior to when the 1979 EPA's PCB regulations were announced.
From the 1950s through the 1980s, Westinghouse and General Electric exchanged information with Nevada Power on a regular basis. During these conversations and meetings Westinghouse and General Electric would recommend equipment, including transformers and capacitors containing askarels, to meet Nevada Power's needs.
Although it had developed its own Inerteen information and handling materials, in January of 1970 Westinghouse distributed Monsanto Askarel and Aroclor information in response to requests for toxicity data for Inerteen sent to Westinghouse.
5
In 1971, Westinghouse knew that major studies regarding PCBs revealed that PCBs were a persisitent environmental contaminant, caused serious internal injuries to humans and animals, and a suspected carcinogen, etc., and yet it provided the National Industrial Pollution Control Council with a paper titled "The Need for Continued Use of Polychlorinated Biphenyls as Electrical Insulating Liquids." In that document, Westinghouse stressed the safety factors of Inerteen as far as flammability is concerned. Without citing any studies or authority, Westinghouse stated that chlorinated biphenyls are considered to be approximately one-tenth as toxic as DDT for mammals. Westinghouse also stated that biodegradability studies with lower chlorinated biphenyls showed that they degrade, which is contradictory to what the actual Monsanto studies were revealing. Westinghouse covered the existing controls that Monsanto has instituted regarding PCB escaping into the environment and then recommended that PCBs not be banned from manufacture and use in closed electrical systems. This indicates Westinghouse1s intent to continue reliance by the electrical industry on PCB fluids.
By April of 1972, Westinghouse knew that there was a substantial
leakage of PCBs from its South Boston plant and yet only then began
to create a rough draft of an internal corporate "Policy for use
and Handling of Inerteen". At that point in 1972, Westinghouse
also eliminated language in their capacitor warning plate and
indicated that that language should be deleted from all warnings to
be used in the future. The warning formerly read "this product
contains polychlorinated biphenyls, extreme care should be taken to
prevent any entry into the environment, through spills, leakage,
use, disposal, vaporization or otherwise. Refer to Westinghouse
instruction book for information on use, handling, and disposal
procedures." The language reading "through spills, leakage, use,
disposal, vaporization or otherwise" was eliminated.
This
indicates Westinghouse's intent to continue its customers' reliance
on the product, not to alarm customers and to continue its "benign"
appearance.
In its June, 1976 edition of "Instructions and Handling of Inerteen," Westinghouse admitted that Inerteen does have an irritating effect on the skin. Westinghouse did not fully explain the "irritating effect." However, Westinghouse then repeated its representation that Inerteen is generally regarded as being non toxic to humans. Yet, under "Handling," Westinghouse stated that Inerteen is "highly toxic" if taken internally; it may cause severe irritation of the digestive tract and serious internal reactions; Inerteen was listed as a moderate skin irritant; and Westinghouse admitted that Inerteen can be absorbed through the skin. There is an admission that repeated contact may result in severe dermatitis. This indicates Westinghouse was attempting to alleviate customer concerns about the human health effects of Inerteen.
6
Westinghouse withheld some information on Inerteen from salespeople who would have been responsible for providing information to customers and instructed the marketing personnel not to answer questions.
From 1948 through 1970, the standard safety procedure for Westinghouse service engineers when working with Inerteen was to coat hands and face with castor oil, and wash it off with soap and water.
Prior to 1970, a Westinghouse service engineer experienced skin irritation from contact with Inerteen.
The legal department at Westinghouse participated in decisions as to whether warnings should be given to customers regarding Westinghouse products.
Within Westinghouse, the ultimate decision to put warnings on Westinghouse capacitors and transformers would have been made by the Vice President of the Transformer Division.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Monsanto and Westinghouse met a number
of times to discuss Aroclors.
Participants included Lyon
Mandelcorn, Tom Dakin, Bob Miller, Don McClain, Ralph Munch, and
Paul Benignus. Topics of discussion included the physical electric
and properties of Aroclors, alternatives, availability of various
fluids, biodegradability of Aroclors, bioaccumulation, fusion of
Aroclors and soil, discontinuance of Aroclors for open
applications, and effects of Aroclors on certain forms of wildlife.
General Electric's manager of environmental science and technology from 1981 to the present testified he is not aware of any medical record or any data or person with knowledge of data to support the statement "In the United States, medical records show that over a nearly 40 year period, the only adverse health effects experienced by U.s. workers exposed to PCBs, either during the manufacture of these liquids or of electrical equipment containing these liquids have been limited to occasional cases of non-chronic chloracne or other temporary skin lesions or irritations."
In 1970, General Electric prepared a report stating that askarels are only somewhat toxic and that ordinary cleanliness was an adequate safeguard against skin irritation.
In 1976, the Department of Environmental Conservation found that General Electric had discharged PCBs in quantities that violated applicable standards of water quality, and described the breach as the product of both corporate abuse and regulatory failure.
In 1975, GE knew that oxidation of PCBs can lead to the formation of PCDFs which are highly toxic.
7
General Electric represents that based on its studies of the Yusho patients as published in "Human Health Effects of Electrical-Grade PCBs," PCDFs have a toxic threshold level of 1 to 1.5 milligrams for humans. The most observable toxic symptom was chloracne. Other symptoms in the Yusho patients included hyperpigmentation of skin, malais, ocular disturbances, swelling of eyelids, and curling of finger and toenails. Children born to mothers who had these toxic symptoms also displayed some toxic symptoms.
From 1943 through 1949, General Electric observed adverse health effects in workers, which they claimed were caused by inhalation and absorption through the skin from contact with chlorinated napthalenes. They did not test for PCBs in the blood during this period. Prior to 1956, General Electric knew of yellow atrophy of the liver related to mixtures of polychlorinated napthalenes and PCBs; dermal exposure and inhalation were considered probable modes of exposure. Despite this information on toxicological effects, GE did not institute a comprehensive program of examining workers exposed to chlorinated aromatics, including PCBs. GE never informed customers that they should institute medical protocols for workers before, during or after exposure to PCBs.
GE and Westinghouse as well as Monsanto were aware or should have been aware in 1969 of studies in the scientific literature which showed that Aroclors can cause dermatitis and systemic poisoning.
General Electric used chlorinated benzenes in combination with polychlorinated biphenyls in dielectric fluids. The chlorinated benzenes were mixed with Aroclor 1254 and 12 60 to reduce the viscosity and make the compound more fluid at low temperatures.
Chlorinated dibenzofurans were present in PCB mixtures produced by Monsanto.
In 1962, Westinghouse1s Administrator of Industrial Hygiene and
Monsanto's Assistant Director of the Medical Department agreed that
both companies should reconsider their statement on Aroclors in any
bulletin relative to temperatures above which local exhaust
ventilation should be provided. Together they decided it would be
a mistake to attempt to describe safe handling practices in
generalities.
This shows recognition on the part of both
manufacturers that the different PCB fluids required different
handling procedures, and an intent to continue reliance by
customers on the product, without alarming them.
In a 1967 company memorandum discussing an upcoming visit by Westinghouse, Monsanto stated that they had been told by Westinghouse that Westinghouse admitted to not being as careful in their plant procedures as they should be regarding worker safety and handling of Inerteen. Westinghouse found it necessary to visit Monsanto's Anniston, Alabama plant in order to discuss dermatitis from and toxicology of Aroclor 1242.
8
Monsanto knew in 1970 of nearly 20 instances of illnesses since
1940-45 from exposure to PCBs,
yet did not issue any related
precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate
with the hazards involved.
Material Safety Data Sheets from May 1971 for various Aroclor mixtures warn that fire fighters should wear respiratory protection when there is any possibility of exposure to gas or vapors because highly toxic gases can be evolved in fires involving this product. Stated effects of over-exposure are chloracne and systemic intoxication including nausea, vomiting, loss of weight, edema and abdominal pain.
In 1937, D r . K elly, Monsanto's medical director, said warnings should be issued that experimental work in animals shows that prolonged exposure to Aroclor vapors evolved at high temperatures or by repeated oral ingestion will lead to systemic toxic effects and that bodily contact with liquid Aroclors may lead to an acneform skin eruption. Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Without providing scientific basis, Monsanto requested in 1975 that IBT alter its classification of Aroclor 1242, 1254, and 1260 from "slightly tumorigenic" to "does not appear to be carcinogenic." Dr. Calandra of IBT agreed to this misrepresentation, which was intended to mislead customers.
By August of 1970, Westinghouse was aware that Inerteen from at least one its manufacturing plants was being disposed of improperly, as indicated by the fact that the proper "Hazardous Waste" labels and paperwork were not being filled out.
In November of 1975, NIOSH produced a report on PCBs titled Background Information on Polychlorinated Biphenyls. The purpose of the NIOSH report was to advise the occupational health community on hazards of PCBs. The report found that ninety five percent of capacitors at that time contained PCBs, PCBs tend to accumulate in animal tissues, furans and napthalenes were found in commercial PCBs, and their presence was cited as being of toxicological significance. PCB products were found in heat transfer systems, hydraulic systems, gas turbines, vacuum pumps, plasticizers, textiles, sealants, and carbonless copy paper. In 1975, studies showed that PCBs appear in the tissues of 31% of the people in the United States. Toxic effects of PCBs include chloracne, skin and nail pigmentation, eye discharge and swelling. Pathologists' studies of PCBs effects on animals showed definite malignant, nonmalignant and reproductive effects.
9
Monsanto's Manager of Product Acceptability stated that from 1971 through the first two quarters of 1975 that PCBs were not reclaimed by Monsanto. There is evidence, however, in Monsanto internal memoranda that Monsanto had an active reclamation program in effect during the 1960's.
By 1970, Monsanto was aware that there were numerous articles and studies dating back to 1966 which demonstrated PCBs are not readily biodegradable. Risebrough and Jensen (Sweden) discovered PCB persistence in the environment in 1966.
In I960, despite evidence in its possession to the contrary, Monsanto stated that "Accidentally spilled" Aroclors "do not cause acute toxicity hazard...years of safe use of Aroclors demonstrate 1 ability to handle fluids without hazard." In this publication, fraudulent and incomplete representations are present. Monsanto continues its inconsistencies in whether or not phosgene gas is formed as a waste product from Aroclors.
In July of 1970, Monsanto's researchers knew of studies dating back to 1966 by Jensen and Risebrough that PCBs accumulate in marine environments and eventually become a toxic hazard. However, Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Paul Wright was hired by Monsanto after leaving IBT to be its Manager of Toxicology. While working for IBT, Wright participated in falsifying test results for Monsanto. Monsanto presented Mr. Wright with a cash bonus and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his defense, all the time claiming they were an unknowing victim.
Monsanto misled Congress in 1979 when it wrote that after increasing production of PCBs until the early 1970s it then ceased production because of reported environmental hazards. In fact, Monsanto knew PCBs were present in the environment as early as 19 66 and only discontinued production because of concerns over liability.
GE and Westinghouse as well as Monsanto were aware of or should have been aware of studies in the medical literature prior to 1969 which showed that Aroclors can cause dermatitis and systemic poisoning.
By 1966, Monsanto knew that PCBs were considered toxic and that "excessive" exposures could cause liver damage. Monsanto knew that lower levels of exposure to PCBs could cause chloracne. They also knew that inhalation of fumes could result in chest irritation and symptoms resembling a severe1chest cold.
10
By 1970, Monsanto had in its possession studies and references to studies on the toxicity of PCBs which dated as far back as the early 1930s.
In September of 1967, Westinghouse and Monsanto were actively conducting meetings and sharing information on the best methods for handling Aroclor 1242, including problems of its dermatitis and toxicology.
In February of 1968, Westinghouse issued a memorandum that trichloroethylene, Inerteen and other substances could not be poured down the sewer drains. Equivalent warnings to customers not to permit these substances to enter into sewer systems did not issue from any of the defendants until much later.
Westinghouse, in September of 1968, was in possession of facts sufficient to issue an internal memorandum outlining a process spec on the disposal of hazardous waste materials stating they should not be dumped down the sewer.
In a 1968 internal memorandum, Westinghouse was aware that its trash hauler's method of handling and disposing of scrap Inerteen in a local dump was not acceptable. In its internal memorandum, Westinghouse stated that the trash hauler should be informed of the toxicity of any compound from Westinghouse. The Materials & Standards Engineer also noted that there would be a state inspector visiting the plant soon. He then recommended that all sewers where Inerteen is dumped be cleaned and that all workers who handle Inerteen be given proper protective clothing before the inspector arrived. This is an active concealment by Westinghouse of facts from government and consumers.
In January, 1970, Westinghouse revised its process specs for disposal of hazardous material guidelines, which included Inerteen, at their Indiana plant. The revised specifications were to be more stringent than those issued in 1968.
In July of 1970, Westinghouse was actively discussing with Monsanto's Manager of Environmental Control the disposal solutions for askarels. Monsanto suggested that sanitary landfills be used and that those landfills not be located near water systems, both surface and underground, so that after heavy rainfall, escape of PCBs into the environment could be minimized. By 1970, Westinghouse and Monsanto were aware that Askarels, aka Inerteen, cling to soils "tenaciously".
11
In a September, 1970 internal memorandum, Westinghouse discussed its liabilities regarding environmental contamination by Inerteen and suggested that certain employees begin instituting a program to meet local, state and federal regulations that it knew would be forthcoming. Nevada Power was never made aware by the defendants of the imminent regulations anticipated by the manufacturers until much later, if at all.
By November 1971, after numerous state inspections, Westinghouse was fully aware of the environmental hazards as well as liabilities of dumping Inerteen, and warned its employees through a company memorandum not to dump any Inerteen materials into the sewer system without the proper authorization.
In its 1972 "Policy for the Use and Handling of Inerteen, " Westinghouse1s T .K . Sloat affirmatively represented that the stability of Inerteen makes it difficult to destroy when it gets into the environment. Westinghouse characterized the problem of Inerteen in the environment as being "extremely serious." Westinghouse did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
By April of 1972, Westinghouse had implemented a program to ensure that all scrap capacitors were completely drained of Inerteen because Westinghouse had entered an agreement with the state of Indiana not to dump Inerteen into landfills or dumps. In a memorandum written that same month, J.L. Shoaff complained that not all capacitors sent to the dump were being completely drained, as per company specs and were therefore causing further PCB contamination in the dumps utilized by Westinghouse.
In a December, 1978 Confidential Memo, Westinghouse admitted that between 1976 and 1977 they impregnated capacitors with both 1016 Inerteen and Wemcol (which is Westinghouse1s mineral oil replacement for Inerteen). From 1940 up until 1977, Westinghouse also used Inerteen paper in transformers.
By September of 1958, Westinghouse's Administrator of Industrial
Hygiene knew that there should be absolutely no prolonged skin
contact with Inerteen. Yet, in an advisory letter responding to a
request for information, he stated Westinghouse had very little
difficulty with dermatitis. He also advised that "good, general
ventilation" was sufficient to avoid any problems with Inerteen
vapors. Inerteen transformer oil was described as being a mixture
of 60% hexachloradiphenyl and 40% trichlorobenzene.
These
substances were &he subject of extensive earlier studies on
Inerteen. In view^ of the results of early studies on Inerteen,
these warnings were inadequate.
12
In July of 1970, Westinghouse1s Materials & Process Engineer "strongly urged" in an internal memorandum that immediate action be taken to clean Inerteen from washers and drains in their Bloomington, Indiana plant because of potential legal action against Westinghouse if any Inerteen is found in city or storm sewer systems. Westinghouse felt that this was an "urgent matter" and that remediation should begin immediately. Westinghouse did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
By December, 1971, in an internal company memorandum stamped
"Proprietary Class One Strictly Limited Distribution.
The
Westinghouse Research Director for Power Systems stated that "the
biological activity of PCBs was at best poorly defined." He also
stated (1) that higher chlorinated biphenyls appeared to
concentrate in tissues of fish, birds and animals; (2) that the
toxicity of PCBs in any absolute terms cannot be expressed, but
there is an indication that lower chlorinated biphenyls appear to
be more toxic; (3) with respect to birds, the hatchability of eggs
is reduced; and (4) the problems from the Yusho incident in Japan.
He repeated Monsanto's claim that Askarels are essentially free
from furans, but admitted that Westinghouse had no analytical data
from Monsanto or from in-house Westinghouse labs to confirm that
information. He admitted that as one approaches highly populated
areas, the ratios of PCBs to DDT in the environment increases to
about three to one. He also confirmed that the concentration (in
1971) of PCBs in the general environment appears to be about one
part per million (ppm). He also stated that there were
significantly higher concentrations than 1 ppm in various tissues
and organs of fish or other animal species (suggesting
bioaccumulation). He went on to state that there is sufficient
evidence that PCBs can be deleterious to the health of animal and
human life and that the risks of ignoring the evidence that does
exist is inappropriate for Westinghouse.
By August of 1970, Westinghouse was aware that Inerteen from at least one its manufacturing plants was being disposed of improperly. For example, the proper "Hazardous Waste" labels and paperwork were not being filled out.
All of the significant facts in Plaintiff's exhibit 1148, which is too voluminous to set out separately.
r
Defendants knew as early as 1970, or even by the late 1960s, that legislation would be enacted restricting or eliminating the use of PCBs yet they did not impart that information to Nevada Power.
Defendants knew since the 1930's that PCBs are among the most stable compounds known, yet they either did not conduct studies to determine the ubiquitous nature of PCBs in the environment until the late 1960s or early 1970s, or they conducted the studies and did not make them public.
13
Defendants claim the early reported health and/or environmental problems with PCBs in certain waxes, including Halowax, were actually problems associated with chlorinated naphthalenes. Those waxes, including Halowax, were actually a combination of PCBs and chlorinated naphthalenes. The defendants did not conduct studies to determine whether the reported adverse health and/or environmental affects were caused by the chlorinated naphthalene, the PCBs, or the particular combination used in formulating these products; however, they nonetheless claimed that the toxicity observed was due only to exposure to napthalenes, knowing that they lacked sufficient information to make such a claim, and while internally and amongst themselves regarding the subject studies as being indicative of PCB effects.
There was a substantial body of medical, epidemiological, and scientific information suggesting that exposure to PCBs is hazardous to human health and the environment, yet defendants did not relay that information to Nevada Power prior to selling PCBcontaining electrical transformers and capacitors to Nevada Power.
A Monsanto report from 1955 stated that: "There is need therefore to give warning [regarding exposure to aroclor - PCBs], For the toxicity of these compounds has been repeatedly demonstrated, both from the standpoints of their absorption from the inspired air, as well as from their effects in producing a serious and disfiguring dermatitis when allowed to remain in contact with the skin."
The defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
As early as 1970, congressional action aimed at eliminating PCBs from manufacture or use was prepared in the United States, yet defendants failed to warn Nevada Power that regulation was under consideration while defendants continued to sell PCB-laden equipment to Nevada Power.
A 1972 MSDS did not mention that exposure to PCBs can cause liver damage, nor did it mention that PCBs get absorbed through the skin, nor did it mention other adverse health and environmental effects from PCBs.
In 1956, GE wrote a technical services bulletin where it summarized over 40 studies showing that askarel (PCB) had an adverse effect on humans and on the environment, yet it did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
By 1979, GE had selected polydimethylsiloxane (silicone) as a substitute for PCBs.
14
In 1937, a round table discussion followed presentation of a report prepared, in pa r t , by D r . Cecil Drinker. In the discussion, reports were made of workers injured, or killed from exposure to PCBs. Over 50 GE workers were alleged to have a skin condition known as chloracne, and over 10 of those had conditions that were severe. Dr. Schwartz reported at that round table discussion in 1937 that any worker suffering from chloracne may also be suffering from systemic poisoning from exposure to the PCBs. Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1937, a round table discussion followed presentation of a report prepared, in part, by D r . Cecil Drinker. In the discussion, reports were made of workers injured, or killed from exposure to PCBs. Over 50 GE workers were alleged to have a skin condition known as chloracne, and over 10 of those had conditions that were severe. Dr. Schwartz reported at that round table discussion in 1937 that any worker suffering from chloracne may also be suffering from systemic poisoning from exposure to the PCBs. Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Recent studies show a statistical relationship between exposure to PCBs and malignant melanoma, breast cancer, and an increase in brain tumors from workers exposed to PCBs.
The information contained on the Material Safety Data Sheets prepared by Monsanto for Aroclor (PCBs) in the 1980s was known to it well before 1960, yet the earlier MSDS sheets did not contain the warnings that appeared in these 1980 MSDS sheets.
Defendants participated in the major efforts to evaluate the health and environmental effects resulting from PCBs, including a group known as C-107 and NEMA. Defendants had employees who were in charge of these groups and committees, and Defendants-- through their participation in these groups and committees-- concealed and downplayed information regarding their vast historical knowledge of the adverse health and environmental effects resulting from exposure to PC B s . The results of Defendants' participation in these groups and committees were reports that underestimated the danger of exposure to PCBs and delayed and avoided adequate warnings and disclosures that would have averted some of the harm that befell Nevada Power.
In 1938, Dr. Drinker prepared a report, at the request of Monsanto, to determine health problems associated with PCBs. D r . Drinker reported liver disorders and other serious health problems. At no time did Monsanto relate this information to Nevada Power.
15
Monsanto produced internal documents, intended only for Monsanto employees, as early as 1955, that described the potential harmful effects of PCBs, including chloracne, digestive problems, and liver problems. Monsanto recommended strict hygienic practices for workers exposed to PCBs, including a daily change of clothing. The defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Monsanto encouraged its employees take baths, on company time, at the end of their shifts to reduce PCB hazards, yet Nevada Power was never warned of the need for such practices on an adequate or timely basis, nor was other information imparted to Nevada Power concerning the precautions Monsanto and the other defendants gave to their workers who were exposed to PCBs.
In 1955, Monsanto's medical department director wrote: "MCC's [Monsanto's] position can be summarized in this fashion. We know Aroclors are toxic but the actual limit has not been precisely defined. It does not make too much difference, it seems to me, because our main worry is what will happen if an individual develops any type of liver disease and gives a history of Aroclor exposure. I am sure the juries would not pay a great deal of attention to MACs [maximum allowable concentrations]."
In 1957, Monsanto wrote an Aroclor Bulletin for use in resins and plasticizers for chlorinated rubber. In the section on toxicity, Monsanto stated:
"Animal toxicity studies and 20 years of manufacturing and use experience indicate that aroclor compounds are not serious industrial health hazards. If the materials are heated to volatilization, ventilation should be provided to prevent inhalation of vapors. This is true of other major components of the formulation as well as the Aroclor compounds. Repeated or prolonged skin contact should be avoided although there are few instances of skin irritation. Human patch tests with finished products containing Aroclor compounds have shown no irritation." These statements misstated the knowledge of the health hazards known by Monsanto to be associated with exposure to PCBs on that date and continued an ongoing pattern of disinformation provided by Monsanto to industries purchasing PCBs.
In 1959, Monsanto's assistant medical director wrote: "This indicates to me, however, that sufficient exposure [to PCBs] whether by inhalation of vapors or skin contact, can result in chloracne which I think we must assume could be an indication of more serious systemic injury if the exposure was allowed to continue."
The defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
16
Monsanto knew in 1936 that inhalation of PCB vapors could cause liver damage, yet did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Defendants deliberately misled the public and governmental agencies about the health and environmental problems associated with exposure to PCBs.
In 1969, Monsanto knew it had not adequately warned customers about the dangers of PCBs.
In 1970, Monsanto1s medical department director wrote: "All in all, this [finding PCBs in milk and silage and silos] could be quite a serious problem, having legal and publicity overtones. "This brings us to a very serious point. When are we going to tell our customers not to use an Aroclor in any paint formulation that contacts food, feed, or water for animals of humans? I think it is very important that this be done."
Monsanto had Industrial BioTest Laboratories conduct various PCB studies. Conditions were atrocious in the section that housed the rats. One room was called the "swamp" because it was so wet. Outdoor animals entered "the swamp" and other rooms and ate the limbs off laboratory rats. Others escaped their cages and ate the limbs off those that d i d n 1t escape. The deaths of rats, and procedures in the lab, seriously compromised the study results. Monsanto should have known that the tests were seriously compromised, or the results falsified, based upon the markings of the test results and protocols and other documents provided to it by IBT. On the PCB rat study conducted by IBT for Monsanto, Monsanto solicited, and IBT agreed, to falsify the conclusions of the study report, indicating that PCBs were non-carcinogenic. The falsified report was transmitted on Monsanto's behalf to the U.S. government with the intent that the government rely upon the report in making regulatory decisions regarding PCBs. Monsanto experts visited the IBT lab and toured the swamp and other areas, and were aware of conditions at IBT. Paul Wright, at first a Monsanto employee, transferred to IBT and ran these lab tests. He then transferred back to Monsanto as Manager of Toxicology. He was prosecuted, along with three other IBT employees, for fraud in connection with IBT tests. Three of the four were convicted of fraud. Monsanto paid over $1 million for the legal defense of Paul Wright. Dr. Wright received an award from Monsanto for his work at IBT for forestalling regulatory and congressional action relating to PCBs. Dr. Wright pled the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution when questioned about IBT activities relating to PCBs. IBT and Monsanto entered into a tacit agreement whereby IBT agreed "to be of help in any way that you [Monsanto] may wish."
17
PCBs were so toxic and hazardous to the environment that Monsanto, N the sole US producer and supplier of PCBs used in electrical
transformers and capacitors, required its customers to enter into indemnity agreements indemnifying Monsanto against any claims for damages.
In March of 1972, Monsanto wrote to the EPA that it had warned its purchasers of PCB fluids of "the potential dangers should these materials , escape" when, in fact, that information was never imparted to Nevada Power.
Monsanto1s medical department existed in the 1930s and continuously kept current since that time on the scientific literature relating to the toxicology of PCBs.
All reports on "Standard Manufacturing Processes" for Aroclors were intended only for Monsanto employees and were not intended to be distributed to the public.
In internal Monsanto manuals dated October 1969, September 1968, and January 1969, instruction for prevention of accidents are detailed. Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1969, Monsanto was actively discussing the foreseeability and possibility of total control over Aroclor materials and the importance of that control for future operations of Monsanto. Monsanto also admitted that they were putting reclaimed Aroclor into Pydraul hydraulic fluid. This information was never imparted in an adequate or timely manner to Nevada Power.
By March of 1970, Monsanto's Medical Director wrote in an internal memorandum, asking the question "(W)hen are we going to tell our customers not to use any Aroclor in any paint formulation that contacts food, feed, or water for animals or humans?" He stated that it could have serious legal and publicity overtones. He noted that contamination of silage due to paint formulations containing Aroclor could be a serious problem.
In a November, 1972 Safe Practice Data Sheet from Westinghouse,
Westinghouse stated that Inerteen vapor is moderately toxic, and
the possibility of a health hazard from Inerteen vapors at room
tempertature is very low. However, higher temperatures cause
higher concentrations of Inerteen vapor and increases the health
hazard. Westinghouse proceeds to state that Inerteen is moderately
toxic if taken internally. This is in contrast to Westinghouse's
Inerteen Instruction and Handling Manual of 1971 which states that
Inerteen is highly toxic if taken internally.
By 1972,
Westinghouse knew that other, health problems could result from
exposure to Inerteen (liver damage, for example). The Safe
Practice Data Sheet also recommended that anyone developing a skin
18
irritation or respiratory tract irritation due to Inerteen or its vapors should be placed under physician's , care, and that all applicants for jobs which'involve Inerteen should be screened for and placed properly.
In September of 1938, through a report to the Monsanto Chemical Company by Cecil K. Drinker, M.D., Monsanto learned of the toxicity of chlorcosane, diphenyl phthalate, chlorinated diphenyl and chlorinated diphenylbenzene mixtures.
In 1969, Monsanto knew that landfill disposal of scrap Aroclors would soon end and was actively discussing the possibility of installation of an incinerator to handle scrap Aroclors.
In July 1955, Westinghouse1s Department of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology was conducting tests on evaluation for use in manufacturing operations the product Inerteen, and was requesting from the medical department any necessary information from either fire or health standpoints.
In a report written in 1955, Monsanto was aware that they had always supplied the clean change of clothes everyday for operators of Aroclor manufacture at the Krummerich plant and that time was allowed at the end of the shift bathing. In the Monsanto report at least five studies were cited which covered the hazards of Aroclor production and polychlorinated diphenyls and biphenyl production. In 1951, in a report written by Monsanto on the Aroclors and their toxicity, Dr. Jenkins of the Anniston plant admitted that they had suffered cases of dermatitis from flaking of Aroclors when it was placed on wires. In an article from "The Chemist Analyst", Volume 36, No. 2, Page 33, from the J.T. Baker Chemical Company, in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, dated September, 1947, the chief industrial hygienist in the division of health for the City of St. Louis, Missouri, who wrote regarding the Monsanto Aroclors that the toxicity of Aroclors has been repeatedly demonstrated, from the standpoints of their absorption from the inspired air, as well as from their effects in producing serious and disfiguring dermatitis. It was also stated that these effects had been repeatedly observed. Therefore, this chief of the industrial hygiene section recommended that scrupulous cleanliness be insisted upon wherever the material was handled. In 1950, Mr. A.C.W. Pennington wrote that the men at the Anniston plant are expected to take a bath on their time at the end of each shift. He also found that at the St. Louis plant B, the Aroclors Building is rated a toxic department. He went on to state that each operator is provided with a complete set of clothing comprising hat, coat, trousers, combination underclothes, socks, rubber shoes. The St. Louis Plant is the Monsanto St. Louis plant. He also goes on to state that those workers at the St. Louis Plant B of Monsanto received paid bathing time at the end of each shift. Monsanto also provided employees in toxic departments annual medical exams and lung x-rays every three years. Furthermore, M r . Benignus, of S t . Louis Monsanto, in September,
19
1953, acknowledged the dangers of using Aroclors in indoor paints. None of this information was ever related to Nevada Power.
In 1962 Westinghouse informed Monsanto that the temperatures Monsanto had listed in its Aroclors technical guide above which exhaust fans needed to be provided if Aroclors were heated were way to high. Westinghouse and Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1969, in spite of knowing of the environmental hazards of Aroclors, Monsanto appropriated $1,100,000 for solid Aroclor expansion uses at the Anniston plant.
In November, 1969, Monsanto stated that its worldwide Aroclor business amounts to 104 million pounds per year, which represented $22,000,000 worth of sales. Monsanto's medical director in November of 1969, admitted that Aroclors had been found at locations in water, in birds and some forms of acquatic life. He also admitted that there was evidence of ecological build up. He also stated that the lower Aroclors such as 1248 and 1242 were, in 1969, only believed to be biodegradable, but that it had not been conclusively established. In that same meeting, Bergen and Springgate admitted that there was no evidence as to whether or not Aroclors could escape from end products in plasticizer uses, through leaching or by disbursal and burning. They recommended a plan to establish a program for each business group and consumer market to assure that PCBs would not escape.
Monsanto prepared various technical bulletins encouraging the expanded use of PCBs but which did not warn readers of the known health and environmental hazards of PCBs, nor of any congressional action against PCBs, nor of other countries restrictions on the use of PCBs.
In a March 1969 statement, despite contrary study results .by Swedish and American studies, Monsanto stated that PCBs are not toxic unless mishandled.
Monsanto prepared a PCB environmental pollution abatement plan around 1970. In that plan, they identify the problem as "damage to the ecological system by contamination from polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)." It was acknowledged that the problem involved the entire United States, Canada and sections of Europe especially the United Kingdom and Sweden. As the investigation broadened over other areas of Europe, Asia and Latin America were projected to become involved, evidence indicated that contamination was detected in very remote parts of the world. Under "Nature of the Problem," Monsanto admitted that "truly, the PCB's are a worldwide ecological problem." Monsanto admitted under "Legal Liability" that"direct lawsuits are possible. The materials are already present in nature having done their 'alleged damage.' All customers using these
20
products have not been officially notified about known effects nor do our labels carry this information. These are only a few of the possible legal implications which would best be covered by the legal department." Monsanto admitted it was responsible for the pollution problem in the United States and partly responsible for the pollution problem in Great Britain. A short term goal was to recommend reasonable action that will not unduly (sic) alarm the market but reduce the exposure in terms of liability. A graph of profits and losses under various scenarios was presented showing Monsanto would lose all profits if it discontinued the use of PCBs. None of this information was made known to Nevada Power.
By 1972, Sweden had proposed a ban on import, manufacture, and sale of PCBs, yet this information was not imparted to Nevada Power.
Monsanto learned in February of 1971 that legislation was proposed in Massachusetts banning the discharge of PCBs to the environment. They did not impart that information to Nevada Power, or on the discovery of PCBs as high as 40 ppm in the fatty tissue of chickens in New York; nor that Monsanto's Pensacola Textile was ordered by the state of Florida to take emergency measures to prevent PCBs from entering the Escambia River estuary and bay, nor did they inform Nevada Power of the developing data throughout the world that was reporting PCBs in the environment and in the human food chain. They did not inform Nevada Power of the international actions taken to eliminate or reduce PCB discharge, manufacture or use.
In 1942, Monsanto's researchers knew to avoid breathing PCB fumes and avoid prolonged contact with the skin since PCBs are absorbed through the skin. This information was not adequately provided to the manufacturers until it appeared on Monsanto's container labels years later.
In 1942, Monsanto's researcher did not know that fumes from PCBs could be toxic to the liver and kidney despite the fact that Drinker had conducted studies for Monsanto which showed systemtic effects from chlorinated diphenyls and chlorinated napthalenes.
In 1942, Monsanto's researcher did not know that fumes from PCBs could be toxic to the liver and kidney despite the fact that Drinker had conducted studies for Monsanto which showed systemtic effects from PCBs and chlorinated napthalenes.
By the mid-1970s, Monsanto found chlorinated dibenzo furans in PCBs manufactured by Monsanto, specifically in Aroclor 1254.
In 1975, Monsanto acknowledged in a letter to Westinghouse that systemic injury to the liver can occur from exposure to PCBs, yet the defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
21
Two courts have held that a document from Westinghouse indicates it intended to defraud the courts of the United States by destroying documents regarding Westinghouse1s knowledge of the hazards of the toxic chemicals it uses.
In a study by W.T. Reed, Jr., M.D., conducted in 1938, Westinghouse was put on notice that Inerteen, which is described as a mixture of trichlorobenzene, ethyl-tetra-penta-chlorobenzene and chlorinated diphenyl was lethal when administered to rats and caused damage to the stomach, intestines and 1iver of the r a t s . There were also indications that inhaled vapors from the Inerteen caused damage to the lungs of rats and, when applied to the skin, was absorbed through the skin of these animals. Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1938, Dr. Von Oettingen wrote an article on the toxicity and
potential dangers of that Inerteen, a PCB dielectric fluid sold by
Westinghouse. He concluded: (a) Inerteen was less toxic than
trichlorobenzene, which was used in Inerteen; (b) that the intake
of fatal doses (perhaps three to five teaspoon fulls) will cause
hyperemia of all internal organs, extensive degeneration of the
liver, and damage of the mucous membranes of the stomach. With
smaller doses, effects were less severe and there was some tendency
toward healing if further absorption was prevented; (c) simple
contact of Inerteen with human skin caused dryness of the skin,
thickening and scaling, and sufficient quantities may be absorbed
in this way to cause damage of the liver; (d) Inerteen contact with
the skin should be avoided; (e) in view of the possibility of a
toxic action of this material on the liver, persons suffering from
injuries of the liver (jaundice), syphilis, and heart diseases
should be excluded from operations where Inerteen is handled; and
(f) workers handling Inerteen or with frequent exposure to its
vapors should undergo periodic medical examinations.
This
information was not conveyed to customers in a timely manner, or in
adequate detail.
By 1947, Westinghouse and its Industrial Hygiene Engineer, E .C . Barnes, were aware that Inerteen would cause disabling or fatal internal bodily injury if sufficient amounts of its vapors were inhaled. They were also aware that Inerteen is highly toxic if taken internally. Furthermore, they were aware that Inerteen could be absorbed through the skin and could produce toxic reactions internally as well as chloracne externally. They knew contact with the skin should be avoided and that proper periodic physical examination should be made by the medical department on any workers who worked with Inerteen. None of this information was conveyed to Nevada Power either in a timely mannner or in adequate detail.
By October of 1946, Westinghouse was aware that Inerteen could break down while it was in a transformer and form other compounds.
22
By 1946, Westinghouse was aware that PCBs could be absorbed through the skin and that chloracne was associated with Inerteen contact. In addition, Westinghouse recommended that if one spilled Inerteen on one's clothing, the clothing should be laundered immediately and should not be worn again until it had been laundered.
In July of 1955, Westinghouse represented that Inerteen would cause very little dermatitis during handling and special ventilation is not required. Only one of the many Inerteen decomposition products listed was hydrochloric acid vapors.
In July of 1955, Westinghouse represented, in spite of knowledge gained in the 1940s and late 1930s indicating otherwise, that Inerteen would cause very little dermatitis during handling and Westinghouse suggested it would be desirable to prevent continuous or repeated contact of the skin with Inerteen. Only one Inerteen decomposition product was listed and that is hydrochloric acid vapors.
By 1956, Westinghouse knew that dumping Inerteen into storm or drain sewers could contaminate a water source for drinking purposes. Although Westinghouse knew that Inerteen could be highly toxic if swallowed, they stated that if the Inerteen were to contaminate a drinking water source, they didn't believe it would cause people to become ill.
By 1956, Westinghouse had requested and received toxicity data on Aroclors 1260, 1254 and 1242 from Monsanto. Westinghouse requested detailed information from Monsanto regarding equipment used to measure concentrations of Inerteen in the air.
In 1958, in a response to an inquiry from Weirton Steel Company regarding unpleasant fumes from transformer Inerteen and requesting suggested precautions, Westinghouse stated that it had not experienced significant dermatitis from people in contact with PCB transformer oil and that the fumes from the material at room temperature would not be sufficient to require any local exhaust ventilation. This contradicts what Westinghouse had knowledge of based on studies conducted previous to 1958.
In 1970, Westinghouse and Monsanto consulted each other on proper disposal techniques and defined characteristics for landfill areas.
In 1970, Westinghouse had devised a plan for disposition of scrap
Inerteen and Inerteen-contaminated materials.
Westinghouse
recognized that PCBs may be an environmental contaminant, requiring
proper disposal by authorized scrap dealers only.
In 1972, Westinghouse knew that information concerning what to do with failed capacitor units was disseminated very poorly. Westinghouse was unwilling to accept trade-in capacitors because their position with regard to landfill facilities was tenuous and
23
felt that they needed to be able to dispose of their own scrap. Westinghouse was concerned with incurring liability if they accepted other capacitors for disposal. Westinghouse knew that field disposal, of retired or failed capacitors by users had not been dealt with adequately.
In November of 1986, in a publication entitled "Industrial and
Hazardous Waste Management" Westinghouse published an article
entitled "Pyroplasma Waste Destruction."
In that article,
Westinghouse stated that PICs, specifically chlorinated dioxins and
furans, are by-products of incomplete combustion of PCBs.
By July of 1956, Westinghouse's Administrator of Industrial Hygiene, in a letter to Monsanto's Assistant Director of the Medical Department, admitted knowledge that by pouring Inerteen into open sewers it could enter the ground water sources and thereby contaminate drinking water sources.
In 1959, Westinghouse's Administrator of Industrial Hygiene made
handwritten notes on a request from the U .S . Navy requesting
information on Inerteen oil's toxicity, its composition and effects
on the skin, precautions to be taken regarding ventilation and
personal protective equipment, and maximum allowable concentrations
in the air.
These handwritten notes stated that high
concentrations in the air could irritate eyes, nose and throat and
that it would be possible to have internal reactions. He also
wrote it was highly toxic if taken internally, that prolonged skin
contact could cause severe dermatitis and that skin absorption
could occur.
He further recommended the use of cartridge
respirators or some other form of self-contained breathing
apparatus.
In 1959, in a formal response to the Navy, Westinghouse stated that chloracne could occur from prolonged or repeated skin contact; advised of the Maximum Acceptable Concentrations for Inerteen vapors; and warned that high concentrations of fumes may produce irritation of the respiratory tract, eyes and throat, and that significant vapors should not be released at temperatures below 150 F. where good general ventilation was provided. Westinghouse advised that all respiratory equipment should have the U.S. Bureau of Mines approval for intended use, and that adequate ventilation was always preferable to provision of respiratory protection when practical to do so.
By October, 1959, in a letter responding to questions regarding Aroclor toxicity, Monsanto's assistant medical director admitted that toxicity studies had been done on Aroclor 1242 and 1254 by Monsanto. He also stated that prolonged or repeated skin contact could lead to chloracne. He also admitted that exposure to fumes could cause chloracne and that sufficient exposure and chloracne could be indicative of a more serious systemic injury. Monsanto recommended that good local ventilation be provided where Aroclors
24
are worked w i t h . As to the toxicity of trichlorobenz e n e , the assistant medical director referred the questioner to Public Health Service publication No. 414 titled "The Halogenated Hydrocarbons Toxicity and Potential Dangers" by Dr. Von Oettingen.

In a report on environmental contamination to Westinghouse, a researcher found in 1972 that Inerteen at the Westinghouse plant in Indiana was leaking or leaving the property by five routes. Until six months before this report was written, it was common practice for Westinghouse in 1971 and 1972 to wash PCB capacitors down and to let the effluent flow into the sanitary sewer system.
In a report on environmental contamination for Westinghouse, a researcher found in 1972 that Inerteen at the Westinghouse plant in Indiana was leaking or leaving the property. Until six months before this report was written, it was common practice for Westinghouse to wash PCB capacitors down and to let the effluent flow into the sanitary sewer system. The creek that the sewer system emptied into went to the sewage treatment plant and then was expelled into a creek which fed a reservoir from which the community drew its drinking water. Of the landfills utilized by Westinghouse, the researcher recorded substantial quantities of PCBs leaching into nearby creeks and rivers which ran through animal and diary farms, contaminating the milk and the meat of the animals, as well as the fish in those streams. Fillets of fish that were caught in one river and purchased commercially by the researcher showed PCB contamination far beyond the acceptable FDA limits. There were also a number of spills and sites around the Westinghouse plant in which PCBs were released into the environment and into water systems.
By June of 1972, Westinghouse was aware of and worried that any advice which they might give on disposal of used capacitors or transformers might be used to pin liability on Westinghouse if the advice was later disallowed by a federal or state regulation. In addition, Westinghouse admitted that field disposal of retired or failed capacitors, by users, had not been dealt with adequately. However, information that was issued in 1972 to those users of
25
failed or retired capacitors were (1) a letter issued to Westinghouse Engineering Managers and Sales Engineering Managers and Holders of Capacitor Catalogues; (2) capacitor units carried a caution nameplate, which did not adequately or fully describe disposal methods; (3) capacitor instruction sheets, which did not detail proper disposal methods.
In March of 1975, Monsanto sent a list of answers to questions submitted by Westinghouse on the hazards and toxicity of PCBs. In response to the first question, Monsanto admitted that prolonged excessive exposure could cause chloracne and that in animals, a liver effect is demonstrated. Monsanto then stated that animal data and human experience indicate that the toxic effects are similar in animals and in humans, whether or not exposure results from ingestion, inhalation or absorption through the skin. Monsanto stated PCBs have no effect on human reproductive system. In response to Question 3, regarding P C B s ' effect on birds, Monsanto admitted that there is a potential real effect to all animals, including death in humans. Monsanto then stated that there should be no problem with washing contaminated clothing with the clothing of the rest of the employee's family, and that Inerteen should not be on the floor because it will damage the soles of the shoes and eventually be absorbed through the soles of the feet into the human b o d y . In a separate memo regarding the same communication from Monsanto to Westinghouse, Monsanto's Manager of Product Acceptability requested that the questions and answers be delivered personally to the Westinghouse plant and that the Monsanto representative who delivered the answers remain on the Westinghouse plant premises to discuss the proper method of presenting this information to the employees of Westinghouse.
In September 1975, Monsanto was structuring its future production programs on the basis that PCB would be discontinued, either through government edict, Monsanto decision, or utility industry decision. Monsanto had decided that no indemnity agreement would be used by Monsanto in the sale of Aroclor 1238 because it would imply that the materials of 1238 would be hazardous.
Through a 1938 study submitted by W.F. Von Oettingen, Westinghouse knew that fatal doses of Inerteen caused massive congestion of all viscera, extensive degeneration of the liver and ulceration of the gastric mucosa. Westinghouse knew that continuous application of Inerteen to the skin caused dryness, thickening and scaling, and observations made on rats indicated that sufficient quantities may be absorbed through the skin to produce injurious effects on the liver. Westinghouse, knew that vapors liberated from boiling Inerteen and boiling transformer oil were an irritant, and that Pyranol was also an irritant to the lungs, eyes and mucosa. It was suggested to Westinghouse that the contamination of the air to Inerteen fumes be below 0.05 milligrams per liter of air. It was also suggested that Westinghouse employees use greatest care in personal hygiene. Von Oettingen suggested that contamination of
26
the skin be avoided by wearing protective clothing, and that individuals suffering from injuries of the liver, syphilis and health diseases be excluded from operations in which Inerteen was handled, and that workers handling Inerteen should have periodic medical examinations. Westinghouse did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Through a 1938 study conducted by A.J. Fleming, M.D., Westinghouse became aware of the toxicology of Inerteen by oral administration, skin application, and inhalation experiments in rats. Through this study, Westinghouse became aware that trichlorobenzene was liberated at a temperature of 90 degrees, Celsius when Inerteen was heated. Westinghouse became aware that the maximum concentration should be either 4.5 milligrams per liter if it was in closed space 14 inches above the product, or 0.56 milligrams per liter if it was in a closed area only five inches above the Inerteen. The maximum recommended concentration in a room was 1.9 milligrams per liter of air. Westinghouse also became aware that there was a sample test which would detect concentrations of Inerteen which were below .048 milligrams per liter. Westinghouse also learned that the minimal fatal oral dose of Inerteen is 3.5 cc's per kilogram. In regards to a skin hazard, Westinghouse learned from this study that if constant exposure was long enough, it could render an exposed person susceptible to dermatoses.
In 1938, through a study done by W.T. Read, Jr., M.D., Westinghouse knew that large doses of Inerteen caused terminal passive congestion of the viscera, extensive degeneration of the liver with necrosis about the central veins, and local ulceration of the gastric mucosa in rats. Westinghouse knew that absorption through skin application caused changes in the liver, while the skin showed no gross change. Inhalation tests indicated high incidents of lung infection. Results of the Read, Fleming and Von Oettingen tests appeared in a Westinghouse publication titled "The Toxicity and Potential Dangers of Inerteen".
Westinghouse did not conduct meetings with the Marketing Department regarding the toxicity of PCBs.
Bob Sawyer and others from Westinghouse headquarters reviewed and took boxes of data on capacitors manufactured between 1962 and 1977. The data included test information, nameplate books, and supplier test reports.
Between 1957 and 1988, Westinghouse's quality control engineer was not informed of health hazards from working with Inerteen including that Inerteen is a toxic material which must be handled carefully and cleaned up promptly to prevent contamination of the storage area. Neither were they informed that prolonged exposure could cause internal bodily injury including disability and death or that workers should be examined periodically.
27
By the late 1950s, Westinghouse PCB workers at the Bloomington plant were aware of, and some workers experienced, allergic skin reactions caused by PCBs.
Westinghouse1s sales people were trained in the sale and application of Inerteen transformers and were given the most current knowledge available on government regulations and the government trends. Instruction books provided to salespeople informed them that PCBs were a potential skin irritant. The training books did not provide information on other possible adverse health affects.
Monsanto documents in the posession of Westinghouse's chemist which related to physical, electrical, and chemical properties of PCBs were taken by Westinghouse attorneys. Some of the files, such as Monsanto brochures, were not returned. The brochures and files were taken for litigation purposes. Some of the reports taken were authored by Tom Dakin and Bob Miller.
In 1971, Westinghouse knew from material obtained from Monsanto that lower chlorinated biphenyls were more toxic than higher chlorinated biphenyls.
By 1976 Westinghouse was testing mineral oil for contamination of PCBs. Test results on some samples showed more than 500ppm of PCB.
Mineral oil was intentionally contaminated with PCBs by defendants Westinghouse and GE, yet those defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Westinghouse and GE attempted to enter into indemnification agreements with some of their customers who purchased PCB laden electrical transformers and capacitors from these two defendants.
All of the facts contained in Plaintiff -'s exhibit 1184, which is too voluminous to summarize.
In 1969, Monsanto's corporate development committee was told that PCBs are highly toxic to birds, yet they did not tell that to Nevada Power. It was presented that the PCB problem is a serious matter because of the pollution and because of the $22 million worldwide customer business involved with resultant gross profits of $10 million and a net investment of $9 million. In addition, there could be possible legal and public relations problems leveled against Monsanto. Monsanto never informed Nevada Power of its corporate financial interest in maintaining PCBs, nor that it was considering possible legal and public relations problems associated with the manufacture of PCBs.
28
Defendants were required to prepare Material Safety Data Sheets on PCBs which, prior to 1977, did not warn readers of the known health and environmental hazards of PCBs.
Periodically, Defendants produced an inspection and maintenance guide for transformers and capacitors containing PCBs. Those guides did not warn readers of the known health and environmental hazards of PCBs, nor of congressional action against PCBs, nor of other countries restrictions on the use of PCBs. By 1975, PCBs had been banned in Great Britain and Canada, yet this information had not been provided to Nevada Power.
In 1970, Monsanto and Westinghouse knew that PCBs, if burned at temperatures less than 800 degrees centigrade, can partially oxidize PCBs into materials which can be highly toxic (eg. dioxins and furans.) Monsanto and Westinghouse did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In May of 1971, Monsanto was warned that it would be difficult to promote the sale of PCB related products in Japan without establishing a systemataic strategy including not only presentation to customers of data explaining that products are free from pollution but also supply of such information as to degradation and disposal, yet this information was not imparted to Nevada Power.
Monsanto claims it learned PCBs were ubiquitous in the environment in 1966 or 1967. Yet, despite that knowledge, it increased its production of PCB products and expanded their production facilities, driven by a profit motive and at the expense to human health and the environment.
In 1972, General Electric maintained that over a nearly 40 year period the only adverse health effects experienced by U.S. workers exposed to PCB's were temporary skin lesions or irritations despite the fact that no systematic toxicity studies had been done throughout that period and PCBs-had been found to be contaminated with furans.
Westinghouse believed Monsanto intended to protect their market share of PCBs for electrical apparatus usage due to the probable size and profitability of this market segment from Monsanto. Westinghouse saw it a matter of great concern and potentially bad enough to force them out of the Inerteen business would be the foregoing problems. Westinghouse then stated at best, they must institute a much, much tighter control over the usage and disposal of Inerteen. Finally, in 1970, Westinghouse admitted that it must consider communicating with its customers this information.
29
In July, 1956, Westinghouse asked for confirmation on information disseminated by Monsanto that an acceptable air concentration for Aroclor 1260, 1254 or 1242 would be three miligrams of Aroclor per meter of air.
In 1970, Monsanto gave advice on landfill disposal of Inerteen and Askarels and stated that landfills in which these substances are placed must not be located near water systems. They added that monitoring of rivers, creeks, lakes, etc., surrounding the fill, especially after heavy rainfall, will aid in assuring that PCBs were not escaping into the environment. In the same letter Monsanto admitted that Askarels cling to solids tenaciously.
In 1972, well after Monsanto and Westinghouse had begun discussing environmental pollution caused by PCBs, Monsanto sent out a warning advising customers to take every precaution to prevent entry of PCBs into the environment.
In 1934, Monsanto, or its predecessor, Swan Chemical Company, already knew that vapors of the Aroclors could cause irritation of the eyes and membranes of the nose and throat, and that adequate ventilation should be provided.
In 1934, Monsanto, through its predecessor in interest, Swann Chemical Company, knew that vapors of the Aroclors could cause irritation of the eyes and membranes of the nose and throat, and that adequate ventilation should be provided.
In 1954, Monsanto issued a handbook titled "The Proper Handling of Aroclors and Their Mixtures in the Electrical Industry". Chapter 9 of that book is the Dermatology and Toxicology section. Monsanto stated that in using skin patch tests of Aroclor 1254, no primary irritancy or sensitization was shown on the skin. Monsanto did recommend washing skin exposed to Aroclors with a soap and water solution. Monsanto stated that at ordinary temperatures Aroclors have not presented any industrial toxicological problems. They stated that if Aroclors are used at higher temperatures then exhaust fans should be installed. Monsanto did not give any other toxicity data in that publication and they stated that "the many years of satisfactory and safe use of Aroclors and their mixtures with chlorinated benzenes in the electrical industry for impregnating capacitors and filling transformers has demonstrated industry1s ability to handle these fluids without hazard to the workmen. It is a simple matter and in line with good housekeeping to exercise suggested and required precautions". In light of what Monsanto knew, this is an insufficient warning.
In 1957, Monsanto's representations on the toxicity of Aroclors indicated that they had had no serious industrial health problems with the manufacture of Aroclors. Monsanto did state that ventilation should be provided if the Aroclor is heated to volatilization. Monsanto also stated that repeated or prolonged
30
skin contact should be avoided although there were few instances that they had had of skin irritation. Monsanto also cited human skin patch tests with Aroclor products that showed no irritation. This is contradictory to what Monsanto knew about the Aroclors and their toxicity by 1957. These were inadequate warnings and representations to the public and Nevada Power on the product.
In a July, 1964 revised standard operating instruction manual for Aroclors, Monsanto stated that chlorine gas used in the production of Aroclor is a very toxic corrosive gas. They also stated that chlorine gas used in the production of Aroclor is a very toxic corrosive gas. Monsanto also stated that biphenyl is a flammable material which will burn, and it recommended against inhalation of biphenyl fumes while they are burning. As for crude Aroclors, Monsanto stated that they can cause burns since they are hot but also that they contain HCL fumes which would be very irritating to the skin or the mucuous membranes. There is nothing on toxicity of any of these.
Monsanto offers labels indicating that chlorinated hydrocarbons are hazardous and the warnings state to avoid prolonged and repeated skin contact, but there are no indications on any of these labels as to when they were put into use or if they were ever used or how they were used. Merely by labelling prolonged skin contact as detrimental and to avoid breathing the vapors is an insufficient warning for the potential toxicity of these products.
In 1959, Monsanto's assistant medical director wrote in a letter that any prolonged and repeated skin contact with any of the Aroclors should be avoided for two reasons. The first reason was that the less chlorinated products are liquid and excellent solvents on the skin. The second reason is that prolonged or repeated skin contact could lead to chloracne. In that same paragraph he admitted that they had had cases of chloracne at one of their plants. He also admitted to a second incidence of chloracne outbreak in which workmen were dipping their hands into the Aroclor oil.
In 1963, Monsanto represented that Askarel had been made, handled and used for over thirty years without causing any toxic or ill effects. Monsanto also stated that it could be handled with minor precautions and that if accidentally spilled, no serious skin irritation would occur. This is a deliberate misrepresentation designed to induce reliance by Nevada Power and others similarly situated into using the Askarel products.
In 1969, Monsanto represented that PCBs were not broadcast or spread around the land as pesticides. Monsanto also represented that PCBs are stable chemical compounds which are insoluble in water; therefore, their use did not make them easily released into the natural environment. This is a direct conflict with what Monsanto knew at that point in time as to the uses of PCBs in the
31
U.S. and in other places. Monsanto also represented that during more than thirty years of U.S. production and use, cases of toxic effect have been rare -- and then only where simple precautions were not followed. This is in direct contradiction to other letters, memos and studies which have been produced in this litigation. Monsanto also represented that to their knowledge, PCBs are not sprayed or dusted on crops, woodlands, or any other areas, as pesticides. Monsanto also represented that it was inconceivable that elements identified as PCBs could be so widespread. These are all misrepresentations designed to get customers to rely upon Monsanto's representations.
In 1968, at a meeting of the corporate development committee, Monsanto made the decision to increase sales growth of Aroclors while maintaining domestic supply position and profitability. Monsanto made the decision to expand the transformer and heating systems uses of Aroclors and they sat their target date as being 1972. With Therminol as an example, they decided to target ten to twenty million dollar business by 1972.
In a letter sent in 1969 to all customers of Monsanto it again repeated its claims that PCBs are not hazardous, that it was inconceivable that they should be spread through the environment as widely as the scientists claimed, and they emphasized only the closed uses of PCBs, not mentioning any of the pesticides, paint or other plasticizer uses for which it had been employed. This letter sent to its customers was designed to induce reliance by those customers upon Aroclor products.
In 1969, Monsanto was discussing the foreseeability that they would need to totally control all production and applications of Aroclors. In 1969, they were able to foresee that this would be a key to their future operations and productions of Aroclors. They also admitted that they were using reclaimed Aroclor into new Pydraul hydraulic fluid. Monsanto also noted that Westinghouse, rather than disposing of its capacitors entirely, preferred to drain the capacitors, and salvage the metal and other parts of the capacitors.
In a sworn, notarized statement made in 1974 to the state of Missouri, Monsanto's Manager, Product Acceptability for Functional Products, stated that Missouri's proposed effluent standards were unwarranted, economically unattainable and were based on inadequate toxicity information. Monsanto's representative stated that normal industrial hygiene practices are sufficient for handling PCBs. Despite data to the contrary, Monsanto's representative claimed that PCB use is less than one-half of what it was in 1971, and that the mere presence of PCBs in environment should not imply adverse effects.
32
Domestic sales and export records reflect tons of biphenyls sold between 1960 and 1971 for closed systems, heat transfer systems, hydraulics and plasticizers even though Monsanto knew of environmental and health dangers from production and use of PCBs at the very latest, by 1966.
In 1972, Monsanto and General Electric executed an indemnity agreement thereby amending all existing contracts for the sale of PCBs by Monsanto.
In 1974, Westinghouse and General Electric both sought to influence governmental decisions on TSCA and the FWPCA relating to polychlorinated biphenyls and regulation of that substance. The defendants sought to couch their objections in economic terms such as job or economic loss to communities and workers if PCBs were phased out.
Westinghouse and General Electric sought to influence governmental agencies by issuing a chronology of PCB cleanup and testing events which began with the year 1970. This chronology was intended by them to induce reliance by the government on their material misrepresentations regarding their actions involving the PCB market.
In February of 1971, Westinghouse, Monsanto and General Electric were meeting on behalf of the proposed ANSI Committee on Askarel Used in Electrical Equipment. A portion of that meeting included an update by Monsanto on the status of a Massachusetts PCB bill.
In a presentation given in 1976, Westinghouse represented that Aroclor 1242 for transformers was chosen as a replacement for Aroclor 1254 in 1968 because of its higher biodegradability. Westinghouse stated that Aroclor 1016, which it began to use in 1972, was more biodegradable than 1242.
In response to an inquiry from a customer regarding employee complaints about fumes and skin contact with transformer Inerteen in December of 1958, Westinghouse reported that they did not have significant problems with chloracne when its employees came in contact with trans former oil, and that workers should avoid breathing fumes only when the material was heated. Westinghouse represented that fumes at room temperature would not be sufficient to cause any problems.
In its Instructions for Handling Inerteen Insulating Fluid, in 1971, Westinghouse represented that Inerteen is generally regarded as being non-toxic to humans. Yet, in separate safety precautions section, they noted that Inerteen is highly toxic if taken internally and that swallowing an ounce or two could cause irritation of the digestive tract and internal reactions. The instructions warn that workers handling Inerteen should wash their
33
hands often and that if Inerteen is spilled on their clothes, they should remove it as soon as possible and launder it before wearing it again. In 1972, they also gave instructions on disposal of scrap Inerteen which were inconsistent with representations that there is not much of an environmental problem with Inerteen.
By a November, 1968 memo, Westinghouse Bloomington's Supervisor of Manufacturing and Planning admitted that the plant's disposal practices for scrap Inerteen were unacceptable. He also admitted that prior to an upcoming state health inspection the plant should stop dumping Inerteen into storm and sewage sewers and that all personnel in the areas where Inerteen is used should be issued proper protective clothing.
Under cover of a January, 1971 memo, Westinghouse distributed a
copy of Askarel data regarding PCB pollution supplied by Monsanto.
In the cover memo, Westinghouse stated that it was urgent that any
escape routes of PCBs from their plants be eliminated. Monsanto
admitted that based on its data, the principal cause of concern
regarding PCBs is that they are very stable and resistant to
degradation and that there could be a considerable increase of
concentrations of PCBs in nature. Monsanto admitted that continued
accumulation of persistent compounds like PCBs cannot be allowed,
and means must be found to check the increasing pollution in the
environment. Monsanto continued by saying that "positive effort
must be made to control and prevent pollution by PCBs, and the that
the highest priority should be given to preventing pollution of
sewers and waterways." As for disposal, Monsanto recommended that
Askarel wastes never be placed deliberately down effluent drains or
sewers and utmost care must be exercised to prevent this happening
accidentally.
As for incineration, a closed system for
incineration at 800 degrees or higher was recommended, and not
landfill disposal, except for short term storage.
In 1968, Westinghouse represented, on the advice of Monsanto, that phosgene gas was not a product of combustion of Inerteen.
In July of 1972, Westinghouse began to issue "Hold Harmless" agreements to customers other than Nevada Power and required that they sign them before any more Inerteen would be sold to them.
In August of 1975, Westinghouse was not forthcoming on information about its PCB equipment It instructed all marketing personnel to not answer any questions about Inerteen or PCBs, even if they knew the answer. All inquiries should be directed to John Brittain or Don McClain.
In 1976, Westinghouse represented that in 1968 it had determined that a mixture of PCBs such as Aroclor 1242 would be satisfactory as Inerteen for transformers. When they realized the environmental problems, they began to use Aroclor 1016 which they maintained as being more biodegradable. Westinghouse also stated it would be a
34
disaster for customers who would have to replace equipment prematurely. However, in that same vein, there was no mention of impending regulation regarding PCBs and the potential liability which would be imposed on customers by those regulations. This is a clear attempt by the manufacturer to continue fostering reliance by its consumers on Inerteen.
Westinghouse's yearly sales totals for all PCB products are listed as increasing to a high point in 1967 and 1968 when ten million pounds of PCB products were sold. Between 1971 and 1974, Westinghouse increased its production of PCB products. Westinghouse knew of the potential dangers and hazards of Inerteen well before 1974, and yet it increased sales without providing adequate warnings to Nevada Power.
In November of 1976, Westinghouse notified its customers that as a result of recent investigations, they had determined that some oil filled transformers actually contained varying concentrations of PCBs. Westinghouse went on to state that customers should check all oil filled transformers for the presence of PCBs. Westinghouse did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In the early 1970s, Monsanto communicated verbally to Westinghouse that there were no injuries or risk of harmful effects to workers exposed to PCBs.
In 1970, despite evidence of other adverse health effects, General Electric told McGraw Edison that PCBs "have produced no ill effect on workmen in close contact with them except for temporary skin irritation in certain individuals."
In 1970, General Electric promoted Monsanto's services to its utility customers for disposal of PCB waste. General Electric expressed an intent to continue using askarels despite the acknolwedged problem of environmental contamination.
During the early 1960s, Monsanto and Westinghouse exchanged information on proper ventilation and industrial hygiene practices when working with Inerteen. The defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1981, Nevada Power conducted a meeting regarding a spill of PCBs on private land. At that time, Nevada Power honestly reported what it believed to be the truth about P C B s , based upon false information it received from defendants and upon information given to agencies by the defendants:
"You are probably most interested in the health effects on people. First let me say there' has been no national deaths due to exposure of PCBs. Only a few medical problems have occurred to workers who work with the material daily, such as
35
in manufacturing plants or workers in transformer repair shops. The problems occurred with the workers due to repeated and direct contact with the material daily - it may cause minor skin conditions with direct contact such as red sores (like poison ivy, it can cause a rash if you are skin sensitive), acne, drying or cracking of the skin. If workers are in confined spaces or areas not well ventilated, it may cause throat and respiratory irritations and headaches."
Nevada Power utilized ANSI and IEEE standards in developing specifications for utility equipment.
During the period when Nevada Power was changing out equipment, it had no reason to suspect it had been lied to.
In the early 1980s, Nevada Power conducted an extensive "betterment project" to determine the best procedure for dealing with each type of equipment which contained PCBs.
Nevada Power personnel learned about PCBs in 1975 or '76 from trade magazines, but did not consider them a problem requiring immediate action.
Nevada Power personnel learned about PCBs in 1975 or '76 from trade magazines, but did not consider them a problem requiring immediate action.
In 1968, the Chief of the Industrial Waste Disposal section at the Indiana division of water pollution control wrote to the trash hauler for the Westinghouse Bloomington plant and told him that by burning the Westinghouse Inerteen contaminated scraps he could be producing some very toxic gases such as phosgene. He also indicated that Westinghouse representatives felt that burial should be the preferred disposal method for these substances. At this point in time, Westinghouse already knew, via Monsanto, that PCBs cling "tenaciously" to soil.
In February, 1989, Westinghouse represented to Nevada Power that sales of transformers with PCBs were phased out in December 1976. With respect to the phase out of capacitors, the last capacitor containing PCBs was out of production by April of 1978.
In 1976, Congress enacted the Toxic Substances Control Act. PCBs are the only chemical which the congress ever regulated under this act. The Act was passed because of the hazards to human health and the environment from exposure to PCBs.
PCBs are found throughout the environment, in human adipose tissue, in human breast milk, in human fetuses, in chickens, eggs, fish, all animals in the human food chain, and is bioaccumulating and biomagnifying in the environment.
36
Nevada Power transformers and capacitors failed and released PCBs to the environment.
In 1979, EPA issued' an alert for food and feed facilities warning of the dangers of PCBs in such facilities and warning that PCBs were entering the human food chain.
As of May, 1973 public carriers of PCB filled equipment were not properly instructed by General Electric or Monsanto on emergency clean up procedures to protect the environment and workers.
In 1973 General Electric misled EPA in its comments on the proposed effluent standards for PCBs. GE represented to the agency that PCBs are not highly toxic, Aroclor 1016 should not be classified as a toxic pollutant, background levels of PCBs from older manufacturing plants should not be considered in setting and monitoring effluent standards, levels of PCBs in the environment are decreasing, and the EPA's .002 ppb effluent standard for PCB was impossible to meet.
In 1974, Monsanto was actively coordinating industry activity to persuade EPA to modify proposed PCB effluent standard.
Nevada Power may be subjected to liability for money damages to employees and customers that come into contact with, and are injured by, Nevada Power equipment containing PCBs, whether or not the amount of PCB is more or less than 50 ppm.
Nevada Power is studying the feasibility of an active program to identify transformers which contain PCBs and replace those transformers with any detectable amount of PCBs.
There were no efficiency gains in either transformers or capacitors as a result of the PCB changeouts.
There were no efficiency gains in either transformers or capacitors as a result of the PCB changeouts.
There is no market value for used PCB capacitors.
PCB transformers were not retrofilled. They were a potential liability and Nevada Power received nothing for them when they were taken out of service. There was too much risk of liability for future users and leaks.
Nevada Power considers transformers with even small amounts of PCBs to be PCB contaminated as far as salvage value was concerned because of the risk of liability.
Westinghouse salespeople do not recall anyone in Westinghouse responsible for advising utility customers about potential harm from their equipment to the environment or human health.
37
In January of 1972, Monsanto wrote to GE and informed them that PCBs are not readily biodegradable and that they may be considered environmental contaminants and may adversely affect some species of animals and marine life. This information was not provided to Nevada Power.
GE began testing mineral oil for PCB contamination in the 1960s, possibly as early as 1960.
Representatives of General Electric met with assistants from the
office of the governor of the State of Indiana to express concern
over notice of a NIOSH and State Board of Health report prepared by
Dr. Tom Sinks and Dr. Greg Steele in 1991 regarding a mortality
study conducted on workers at the Bloomington Westinghouse plant.
A State of Indiana press release stated that the study indicated
that Westinghouse PCB workers had a four-fold risk of dying from
malignant melanoma.
During a meeting with the Governor's
assistants, Steve Hamilton told them that GE "had a problem with
the way the analysis had been done" and there were concerns with
the study. He told the assistants that a similar study on GE
workers showed results totally inconsistent with the Bloomington
study. Mr. Hamilton also told them that they should not make
further announcements regarding the study that he considered
flawed.
In 1976, Monsanto internally recognized that it had been lucky that it had not been publicly linked with PCBs.
Defendant Westinghouse engaged in a deliberate attempt to destroy what it termed "smoking gun" documents from its files relating to toxic substances in an effort to avoid liability from lawsuits relating to toxic substances, specifically including PCBs, dioxins, and furans.
Around 1987, Westinghouse attorneys went through Westinghouse offices, plants, and buildings and removed all material relating to PCBs and to Monsanto. Most of that material was never returned.
In 1967, Monsanto suggested to Westinghouse that they put a warning on their products containing PCBs. . Westinghouse did so much later.
During the early 1960s, Westinghouse did not inform foremen in charge of PCB workers that Inerteen is a fairly toxic material which must be handled in such a way as to prevent poisoning.
Between 1949 and 1985, Westinghouse sales engineers did not warn customers about environmental risks caused by PCBs.
38
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, documents were gathered from engineering and sent to Westinghouse's law department. In addition, people from the legal department came to the Bloomington plant and collected documents from the files on PCBs.
Even after researchers reported to Westinghouse's management in the early 1970s that the levels of PCBs outside the Bloomington Plant could endanger humans and the environment, Westinghouse concealed this information from the public.
In 1984 or 1985, Westinghouse1s legal department gathered files
relating to PCBs. Not all of the files were returned to the people
or departments which provided them.
It was understood by
Westinghouse employees that this collection of documents was done
in anticipation of or preparation for litigation.
In 1975, Westinghouse informed its employees that they were not to answer any questions regarding Inerteen "even if [they knew] the a n s w e r ."
In December of 1976, D. Fabbi was safety director for Nevada Power. He wrote a memorandum re: Capacitor Grade Askarel/ Product Safety Data to Nevada Power employees which reviewed a recent report from the National Electrical Manufacturer's Association regarding askarel. M r . Fabbi1s report stated his belief, based upon information available to him through NEMA, GE, Monsanto, and Westinghouse, that "Askarel contains a chemical termed Polychlorinated Biphenyls that some studies have shown to be an environmental contaminant. The report indicates that 'medical records over a nearly forty-year period show that the only adverse health effects experienced by U. S. workers exposed to askarels, either during the manufacture of these liquids or of electrical equipment containing these liquids, have been limited to occasional cases of non-chronic chloracne or other temporary skin lesions or i r r i t a t i o n s . '"
All of the facts contained in Plaintiff's EXHIBIT 2. This exhibit is too voluminous to summarize and contains multiple facts, all of which Plaintiff relies upon in support of its causes of action. Nevada Power points specifically, however, to the following facts, without waiving the right to rely upon any of the other facts contained in this exhibit:
a. Based upon knowledge available for forty years prior to the Defendants, NIOSH in 1976 recommended labeling that stated:
POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs)
DANGER! CONTAINS POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS CANCER SUSPECT AGENT
b. NIOSH, after a review of data and consultations with others, formalized a system for the development of criteria upon which standards could be established to protect the
39
health and to provide for the safety of employees exposed to
hazardous chemicals and physical agents, including PCBs. It
developed standards for worker exposure to PCBs based upon
information available to it.
c. NIOSH reported that evidence indicates adverse
reproductive and tumorgenic effects in experimental animals
exposed to certain commercial PCB preparations.
d. NIOSH recommended medical surveillance for employees
exposed to PCBs.
e. NIOSH recommended that workers ensure that the not come
into contact with PCBs by wearing protective clothing that was
impervious to PCBs.
f. NIOSH recommended daily changes of clothing for workers
exposed to PCBs, daily showering at the plant, new street
clothes to be worn when leaving the plant - all precautions
undertaken by defendants1 employees, but not made known to
Nevada Power and most other electrical utility companies.
g. PCBs are manufactured as aroclors and typically have four
numbers.
The second set of two numbers indicate the
percentage by weight of chlorine in the mixtures.
h. Many commercial PCB products also contain polychlorinated
dibenzofurans and naphthalenes.
i. Commercial preparation of PCBs in the US began in 1929 and
reached 85 million pounds in 1970.
j . Imported PCBs were not used in dielectric fluids for
transformers or capacitors but were used in semiclosed heat
transfer applications.
k. Monsanto was the sole US producer and supplier of PCBs for
dielectric fluids for use in transformers and capacitors.
l. The first report of lethal doses of PCBs was contained in
a presentation made in 1930.
m. Health problems associated with the manufacture of PCBs
were the subject of a report by Jones and Alden in 1936. Of 24
men working in the manufacturing process, 23 developed
chloracne. The first indication of chloracne in workers
appeared in January of 1933.
n. In 1936, Schwartz reported digestive disturbances, burning
of the eyes, and impotence in men working with PCBs.
o. An early use of PCBs was for incorporation along with
chloronaphthalenes into synthetic waxes, including halowax.
These waxes contained 10-20% PCBs, the rest chlorinated
naphthalenes. There were reports of workers developing
chloracne when developing these waxes, and at least one death.
The death was reported to begin with chloracne, followed by
jaundice, distention, abdominal pains, and an autopsy showing
cirrhosis of the liver.
p. PCBs have been found in milk and adipose tissue of women,
hair samples, fetuses, and nearly everywhere - including in
the human food chain.
q. Early reports of chloracne associated with PCBs indicated
chloracne from exposure to a mixture of 10-2 0% PCB with
40
chlorinated naphthalenes. In 1936, Jones and Alden were the first to document chloracne just from PCBs. r. Other effects associated with PCBs in early reports included digestive disturbances, eye irritation, liver injury, and impotence. s. Three cases of severe chloracne from exposure to PCBs was reported in 1954. (In 1937, the Drinker report round table discussion indicated that systemic poisoning was likely in those individuals who developed chloracne) t. Eight other instances of chloracne in workers exposed to PCBs was reported in 1962. u. Severe chloracne was described in 1964 in 13 of 15 workers exposed to PCBs. v. An additional report of severe chloracne in a worker exposed to PCBs was published in 1969. w. GE reported in 1975 that its records showed skin rashes and dermatitis reported on 49 occasions during the prior 15 years. Associated with the complaints were itching of the face, neck, eyes, arms and hands. A generalized skin rash was the basis of 14 additional complaints. One worker developed a generalized rash on exposed parts of his body after only two days of working with PCBs. x. The first indication in the literature that PCBs might by embryotoxic or have teratogenic effects was reported in 1963. y. In the majority of studies where workers exposed to PCBs developed chloracne, they were also indications of liver injury. Liver injury was found in workers exposed to PCBs where the workers did not develop chloracne. Defendants knew these facts before selling PCB laden transformers and capacitors to Nevada Power but did not disclose this information to Nevada Power.
When Nevada Power announced in 1977 that it was contacted by the US Environmental Protection Agency that PCBs represent a potential hazard to the environment and to human health, Nevada Power honestly reported its belief that M [t]he threat to the environment was only recently acknowledged, the (sic) danger arises from the chronic toxicity, their pervasiveness and persistence in the environment, and their tendency to accumulate in food chains." Nevada Power believed these effects were, in fact, "recently acknowledged" because Defendants did not inform Nevada Power of those facts.
PCBs were used in medical and dental applications.
PCBs were added to insecticides to extend the effectiveness of the chemicals. Knowing that PCBs were added to insecticides, Monsanto nonetheless informed the public and agencies that they did not know PCBs were used in pesticide formulations and that they did not know how PCBs were dispersed throughout the environment since they were not being dispersed as pesticides.
41
In the early 1980s, fires occurred in New York and California in buildings housing PCBs. Those fires resulted in the evacuation and, in the case of the New York fire, long-term abandonment of the buildings because of the potential harm to human health from exposure to PCBs, and to the byproducts resulting from oxidation and combustion of PCBs (polychlorinated dibenzufurans and/or chlorinated dibenzodioxins) and tetrachlorobenzenes deliberately mixed with them by defendants.
Monsanto was the sole producer and supplier of PCB containing dielectric fluid in the United States.
The EPA has published various notices in the Federal Register outlining the hazards of PCBs, and proposing and requiring limits and restrictions on the use, application, disposal and manufacture of this chemical.
In 1982, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission ruled that there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from the short and long-term effects of PCB exposure.
Westinghouse employees brought suit alleging injury from exposure to PCBs and Monsanto employee(s) were deposed in that lawsuit.
Dr. Kelley, Monsanto's medical department director, never informed Mr. Benignus of the round table discussion following presentation of the Drinker report in 1937.
Benignus knows now that PCB vapors are toxic to the liver and kidneys.
Between the years 1954 and 1977, General Electric sold over 275 million pounds of PCBs. Peak production years were 1965 through 1970, and 1972 through 1975. Production increased in the early 1970's - precisely the years when the manufacturers in this litigation claim they were scaling back production due to environmental concerns.
By 1973 General Electric was working on developing alternatives for PCBs in electrical applications.
By 1969 General Electric knew that pyranol persisted in the
environment with potential adverse effects.
However, the
industrial hygiene department did not take immediate action to
notify customers or determine whether its own plants discharged
PCBs into the surrounding environment.
Monsanto's Benignus had not heard of any reports that PCBs caused skin irritation until the Westinghouse lawsuit.
42
In a letter from NEMA to ANSI in 1970, Monsanto recommended itself as co-secretariat along with NEMA to develop the guidelines on use and maintenance of Askarels and their disposal procedures. They further recommended that they help develop recommendations to interested international standards bodies such as the IEC and CIGRE. They proposed that they assume a role in the leadership of promulgation of guides and procedures as well as the dissemination of all information to interested consumers of PCBs.
In 1971, NEMA and Monsanto kept close track of governmental actions and recommendations regarding PCBS, with particular interest in the actions of Congressman Ryan from New York and foreign countries* regulation of PCBs.
In 1975, NEMA made efforts to ensure that all representatives of member companies in the capacitor and transformer sections of th ANSI C-107 Committee were well represented at EPA conferences covering polychlorinated biphenyls.
In 1976, Monsanto, Westinghouse and General Electric sought to influence the government's position on PCBs by providing information through NEMA.
In an internal memo from April of 1970, after a meeting with Monsanto, Westinghouse admitted that PCBs are now in the general environment and in many (if not all) parts of the world in sufficient quantity that nature, through various concentrating phenomena, can make them highly toxic, if not lethal, to certain forms of animal life. Westinghouse then stated that no proof exists of PCBs toxicity to humans at its present levels of concentration. However, Westinghouse stated that "it was almost certain" that the Food and Drug Administration would be issuing maximum allowable levels in foods for human consumption in the near future.
It was not until 1970, that Monsanto and Westinghouse worked together to develop PCB warning labels.
In a September 22, 1977 letter, Monsanto asked Westinghouse to purge all of its latest Askarel Handling, Inspection and Maintenance Guides from Westinghouse1s possession. This was after Monsanto had made the decision to withdraw as a supplier of PCB dielectrics. Monsanto did not want any customers to rely on the information in those handling guides, because of potential liability which might arise from representations in the guides.
On a Material Safety Data Sheet dated 1980, Monsanto stated that Inerteen or Askarels can be absorbed through intact skin. There is information in which Monsanto admits that PCBs can impair the reproduction function in monkeys; can cause severe liver cancers, and that the consistent finding is that PCBs produce liver injury following prolonged and repeated exposure by any route. As for
43
fire and explosion information, it merely states that fire fighting equipment, including respirators and clothing, need to be decontaminated before being worn again. The defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
From 1957 through 1978, Monsanto steadily increased its sales of PCBs and their manufacture until approximately 1977 when all PCBs manufactured were discontinued and all production for that year is zero. Most importantly, Aroclor/Askarel sales increased during the early 1970's, and Monsanto expanded production at its Anniston, Alabama plant precisely during the years when it represented that it was searching for ways in which to eliminate PCBs escaping into the environment.
In May of 1987, Westinghouse sued its insurers to recover liability payments it had to make as a result of cleanup efforts for hazardous wastes with which it had polluted various dumps and pieces of land in New Jersey.
In 1972, Monsanto warned Westinghouse that it should take every precaution to prevent any entry of PCBs into the atmosphere and it should not be used by them or by their customers in equipment packaging materials involving food or pharmaceuticals. Monsanto and Westinghouse did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved. Since early 1970, Monsanto had notified Westinghouse that PCBs are highly stable chemical compounds and not readily biodegradable. When placed in the environment, they may be considered contaminants and adversely affect marine life."
In February of 1972, Monsanto issued a form letter to customers advising them that Monsanto would be discontinuing direct sales of Aroclor, Inerteen -, Pyranol. Monsanto admitted that studies have indicated PCBs may be accumulating in the environment. For future requirements of dielectric fluids, they suggest that customers contact the manufacturer of the transformer for which they desire the fluid.
By March of 1972, Monsanto knew that Japan would ban production and manufacture of PCBs. Monsanto failed to timely warn its customers of impending regulations and bans on PCB usage and production and did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Monsanto paid Dr. Paul Wright's legal fees for his criminal defense in the case United States v. Urdahl. The legal fees were paid up through April 9, 1992, the date of the post trial appeal. The payments were made to the law firm, Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering.
Between 1966 and 1975, it was standard procedure for the medical
department at Monsanto
to peruse journals, magazines,
44
bibliographies, 1iterary references, and studies regarding PCBs. This information was kept in the medical library organized by product n a m e . The jurnals in Monsanto's library date back to 1930.
In 1972, a representative from Westinghouse served as chairman and presiding officer of the Technical Committee on Capacitors Section of NEMA and, in that capacity, was in a position to influence NEMA !in its position regarding capacitors. ! ;In 1972, Westinghouse, through its placement of employees on the NEMA Technical Committee Capacitor Section, kept abreast of PCB regulation in foreign countries, including legislation in Sweden 'for the use of PCB.
In 1978, Westinghouse sought to rescind NEMA and ANSI's previous recommendations as to handling and disposal of Askarel fluids, as propounded in 1974.
By April of 1972, Westinghouse acknowleged that it would be responsible for any spilled Inerteen fluids sent to any dump by Westinghouse.
In 1970, Westinghouse admitted that procedures for scrap handling and disposal of hazardous waste, most noticably Inerteen, are being completely disregarded by almost every manufacturing section. Westinghouse also stated that such disregard of their specs will cause injury to personnel handling the wastes and that those wastes could end up at a local dump where they would be found and result in legal action against Westinghhouse.
In a 1970 meeting with NEMA, Westinghouse stated that the PCB problem of environmental contamination was not only a manufacturing industry problem, also NEMA, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, should not establish guides or standards in regard to askarels. Despite evidence to the contrary, Westinghouse and NEMA indicated that there was no evidence to indicate that the material would be harmful to humans. This is in direct contradiction to studies which Westinghouse had at its disposal. Westinghouse, along with the NEMA committee, decided that Monsanto had done an adequate job in advising manufacturers to exert precautions in handling PCBs. Westinghouse and NEMA also admitted that users must weigh and evaluate hazards of an oil explosion and resultant potential injury to persons as compared to a possible injury to the human race by PCBs. They felt that there was no evidence that any injury would result from PCBs. Westinghouse 's misrepresentation as to the state of scientific knowledge is an example of how Westinghouse (along with the other defendants) sought to influence the decisions of various trade associations.
45
Even in the early 1970s, the engineering department of Westinghouse told employees that PCBs were not hazardous to human health and that Westinghouse had never experienced a problem with PCBs.
Westinghouse's own sales engineers did not always read all of the instruction books they received.
Approximately 2-3% of Westinhouse's PCB capacitors failed during testing. When capacitors ruptured on the merry-go-round final capacitor test, there would be a loud bang and smoke. Merry-goround failure would occur up to twice a month.
In an average month, Westinghouse made 6000 capacitors of all types. About 180 would fail during testing.
In the 1980s, Westinghouse began a PCB training program to certify workers. The training consisted of requirements for compliance with federal regulations, marketing, record keeping, handling, storage, and personal protection. Various degrees of protection were required depending on the amount of contact with the Inerteen. Recommended protective clothing included paper suits, and coverage over shoes and gloves. Respirators were required for people actually draining and refilling transformers.
Westinghouse negotiated with' Monsanto over the terms of M onsanto1s indemnification agreement sometime between 1970 and 1972. The motivation for Monsanto to get an indemnifcation agreement was that Monsanto was concerned about possible claims of injuries to organisms and was reluctant to sell PCBs. During negotiations, Westinghouse1s in-house counsel did not investigate claims that PCBs were hazardous to humans and the environment and did not request 'of Monsanto any information about PCBs.
By 1951, Westinghouse was conducting studies at their Pittsburg lab on PCBs to evaluate them for various applications and how they should be processed for capacitors. The lab workers were instructed to avoid breathing vapors, and keep the room well ventilated. The workers were provided with Safety Practice Data Sheets.
When customers reported PCB leaks, Westinghouse1s service managers did not provide them with advice on health hazards regarding PCBs.
Monsanto contributed written information and data for Westinghouse1s report, MA Status Report on Chlorinated Diphenyls, Regarding Environmental Pollution" dated December 27, 1971. Tables 1, 2, 3., and 4 were prepared by Monsanto.
The first load of aroclor went out of Monsanto's Anniston, Alabama plant to GE in 1931. Since t h e n , the market grew to be one of Monsanto's most profitable franchises.
46
Monsanto knew that its corporate response to the PCB problem would expose them to continued adverse publicity and possible law suits.
The GE Company purchased its chlorinated polyphenyls from Monsanto, modified it, and used it under the name Pyranol.
Monsanto's Corporate Management Plan for the PCB environmental problem had this objective: to manage the PCB pollution problem to prevent it from adversely affecting the established Return-onInvestment objectives of the Functional Fluids and Plasticizers Group, while maintaining the corporate image of Monsanto as a responsible and respected member of industry worldwide.
From 1930 to 1977, when PCB manufacture ceased in the U.S., about 1.4 BILLION pounds of PCBs were produced.
In November of 1971, Monsanto wrote to GE about conditions in Great Britain and said there is no government ban on PCBs, nor did Monsanto expect one.
Monsanto was the sole domestic supplier of PCBs.
In 1972, GE sent a memorandum to its field sales managers and field sales engineers indicating that, despite the information then available on PCBs, GE would continue to provide Pyranol transformers. Nevada Power believed PCBs would continued to be provided to it in transformers and capacitors.
GE and Westinghouse sought indemnification agreements from their customers for harm caused by PCBs.
Monsanto has corporate policies to use safe products and to inform customers of the hazards of Monsanto products which it has violated relating to PCBs and Nevada Power.
All facts contained in Plaintiff's Exhibit 1104, which is too voluminous to reproduce in this document.
All of the facts contained in Plaintiff's exhibit 1606 which is too voluminous to include in this interrogatory response.
In 1975, D r . Calandra expressed concern over D r . Kimbrough's findings that PCBs cause liver carcinomas. Dr. Calandra offered assistance in pathology and contacting federal agencies to show the disparity between these results and IBT's own studies. He also noted that IBT and Monsanto were able to counteract an earlier allegation by Dr. Kimbrough that bladder cancers developed in rats fed PCBs. He admitted to having no basis for refuting Dr. Kimbrough's liver studies.
47
In the 1950s and earlier, Monsanto subcontracted to Industrial BioTest Labs for ninety-day feeding studies and chronic lifetime feeding studies on PCBs fed to animals.
Between 1971 and 1974 Industrial Bio-Test conducted studies on
chemicals, including studies for Monsanto Company.
Former
laboratory researchers at IBT have testified that lab animals
escaped from cages, were unaccounted for, were left decaying in
their cages to the point necropsy was impossible, and new animals
were substituted in for dead or missing animals. In addition, the
temperature and humidity in the "swamp" where the animals were kept
were not controlled and varied widely. The weighing machine, which
is a critical part of toxicology studies, operated with
questionable accuracy.
Monsanto employed Dr. Drinker to conduct tests on PCBs.
Nevada Power first became aware of health and safety issues associated with PCBs in their electrical equipment in 1979 when EPA's regulations were announced.
The training received by the worldwide sales representatives for PCBs were trained by business people, including Paul Benignus who, in turn, never reviewed the medical literature on the hazards of PCBs, and who had never known or seen the 1937 Drinker study documenting adverse human health effects from exposure to PCBs.
No sales people working for Defendants who sold PCB laden electrical equipment to Nevada Power believed when they sold this equipment to Nevada Power that PCBs cause harm to human health or to the environment, nor did they receive any training or information on the real or potential hazards of PCBs to human health and to the environment, nor did they inform Nevada Power that PCBs were alleged to cause harm to human health or to the environment, nor did they tell Nevada Power that PCBs get absorbed through the skin, nor did they inform Nevada Power of the special precautions taken by defendants' employees who were exposed to PCBs as part of their employment.
In 1993, Monsanto's former worldwide manager for PCBs did not know whether PCBs enter the body through the skin, based upon conversations he had with personnel within Monsanto, including representatives of its medical department.
Only after 1966, when researchers found PCBs to be present in the environment, did Monsanto conduct a review of literature on PCBs which reported earlier claims of chloracne and similar symptoms in the thirties and forties, but which subsequent medical information certainly did not relate specifically to PCBs.
48
Prior to March 18, 1970, Monsanto admitted that all customers using dielectric fluids containing PCBs had not been officially notified about known effects, nor did Monsanto labels carry information about known effects.
Pathologic changes in animals exposed to a commercial chlorinated diphenyl were reported as early as 1944, yet Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
The toxicity of the vapors of Aroclor 1242 and 1254 were documented as early as 1956, yet Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Ninety-nine percent of Americans are reported to have over 500 ppm PCBs in their adipose tissue, yet Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
PCBs biomagnify in the human food chain, yet Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
PCBs can work synergistically with other compounds to impair the immune system, yet Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
It was known by 1947 that chronic poisoning could occur with repeated exposures to sufficient concentrations of PCB vapors, yet Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Monsanto determined that periodic medical examinations should be conducted for its employees who were exposed to PCBs, yet Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1955, workers exposed to PCBs experienced chloracne, gastric troubles, and liver troubles, yet Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1975, Monsanto's manager for dielectric fluids containing PCBs believed that the only adverse affect to human health or the environment from introduction of PCBs to the environment was the presence of PCBs and their biomagnification in the food chain.
By 1970, Monsanto knew that PCBs would vaporize if it reached heated temperatures less than 1600 degrees fahrenheit.
49
Monsanto made the corporate decision to address the PCB problem
through ANSI.
The defendants controlled ANSI and their
publications through their membership in the ANSI committees
created to address this problem.
In 1975, PCBs were found in fish from Lake Michigan that exceeded the limits established by the Food and Drug Administration, which caused substantial concern to the EPA and the states surrounding this lake.
In 1971, Great Britain ceased sales of PCBs to non-controllable uses for PCBs, yet Defendants did not impart this information.
In February of 1971, Monsanto was losing 30 pounds of PCB per day in its manufacturing process and lost nearly six pounds per day in March of 1971 .
On December 28, 1971, Westinghouse research director of power systems, G.W. Wiener, wrote minutes of a PCB status meeting that occurred that date. The meeting was held, in part, "to define a possible position for Westinghouse in the use of [PCBs]." Westinghouse admitted it knew, on that date, that:
a. the biological activity of PCBs was at best poorly defined? b. the higher chlorinated biphenyls appear to concentrate in the fatty tissue and in the liver of fish, birds, and some animals ? c. the toxicity of PCBs in any absolute terms cannot be expressed, but there is some indication that the lower chlorinated biphenyls (3 ppm or less) appear to be more toxic than the higher chlorinated biphenyls; d. with respect to birds and, in particular, leghorn chickens, the reproductive cycle is adversely affected by the presence of PCBs. Specifically, the hatchability of the eggs is reduced; e. Westinghouse had no analytical data either from Monsanto or elsewhere that the PCBs used by Westinghouse did, or did not, contain polychlorinated dibenzofurans; f. Many species of animals and fish contain 1 ppm or more PCBs in their tissues; g. there is sufficient evidence that PCBs can be deleterious to the health of animal and human life; i. the risks of ignoring evidence that does exist that PCBs can be deleterious to the health of animal and human life was inappropriate for Westinghouse; j. The biodegradability of PCBs may, as of December 28, 1971, be of a secondary issue because there was so much PCB in dumps, in the ground, in the river and ocean beds, that unless steps are taken to reduce the source of PCB contamination,; the burden in the environment will have no chance of decreasing?
50
k. If PCBs are biodegradable with a relatively long halflife, unless the source of PCB pollution is stopped, "we will not be able to rid the environment of PCBs."
There, Westinghouse proposed to, among other things: a. "Notify all of [its] customers about the nature of PCBs, the hazards associated with them, and provide them with instructions for disposal of units containing these materials." b. Instruct all of Westinghouse1s customers to return failed or non-serviceable PCB units to Westinghouse so that the PCB in the unit could be disposed of adequately. Westinghouse did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1973, it was known that PCBs sold by Defendants contained polychlorinated dibenzofurans, a deadly chemical impurity, yet defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Defendants attempted to influence congressional action relating to PCBs by preparing talks and papers that were not candid regarding known or suspected affects of PCBs on human health or the environment.
Monsanto increased sales of PCBs from 1960 to 1971, with 19 67 1970 being the years of greatest production.
All of the facts contained in Plaintiff's exhibits 1509 and 1510, which are voluminous and a recitation of the facts, are hereby incorporated as contentions.
Defendants knew well before 1977 that PCBs would no longer be manufactured for use, yet defendants did not impart this .information to Nevada Power.
Defendants knew that congressional action was taken in 1970 to restrict or eliminate the use of PCBs, and that similar action was taken in subsequent years, but defendants did not impart that information to Nevada Power.
In January of 1970, Monsanto had unsurpassed sophisticated capability to detect PCBs in the ppm range.
In January of 1970, Monsanto was asking its customers to accept liability for any damages caused by the PCBs it was manufacturing and selling.
Monsanto attempted to influence information relating to the health and environmental problems of PCBs, through the development of industry standards, by proposing and arranging that they be cochairs of the industry group establishing the new standards. When that failed, they simply placed their personnel in charge of the
51
new committee arid arranged the placement of GE and Westinghouse personnel, and other industry representatives, on the primary committee addressing these new standards.
In April of 1970, Monsanto and Westinghouse engaged in a meeting "to investigate the ecological problems of PCBs and how these problems would affect the electrical industry." At that time, these defendants admitted that PCBs had been found in various river systems, the fatty tissues of fish, birds, eggs, milk of cows and humans. A conclusion was reached that the use of PCBs must be tightly controlled "in order to protect the electrical industry from law suits...."
In October of 1972, Westinghouse admitted its warnings (precautionary statements) on PCB products on labels, nameplates, data sheets, instruction manuals, etc., "do not fully meet the requirements of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health A c t . ..."
Monsanto double-charged for PCBs by initially billing for the product, then charging to have it returned.
In 1968, defendant Monsanto learned that a researcher named Riseborough found PCBs in a number of species of fish and birds along with California coast as well as in waters off Baja California and Central America.
Replacements for PCBs were available but were not developed because of the financial benefit to Defendants from the sale of PCBs.
Federal regulations and laws define the uses, characteristics, and hazards of PCBs.
PCBs are believed to have a biomagnification level of 200,000.
In October of 1971, GE and Westinghouse knew that Monsanto did not claim MCS 1016 was biodegradable and that Monsanto specifically requested that no claim be made that MCS 1016 was biodegradable, yet claims were made publicly that 1016 was biodegradable.
In response to a complaint about PCBs and their possible environmental contamination, Westinghouse in June of 1970 proposed a precautionary label which stated only that "some studies have shown [PCBs] to be an environmental contaminant" and recommended prevention of entry of PCBs into the environment.
In 1976, Westinghouse prided itself on being identified with the PCB problem only in Indiana and issued a memorandum outlining potential questions and required answers to those questions, all relating to PCBs.
52
In 1956, Monsanto acknowledged that PCBs cause chloracne but gave misleading information by stating that no chloracne had been found in the electrical industry's use of PCBs.
In April of 1972, Westinghouse acknowledged it had a need to "establish a program for notifying customers of hazards [of PCBs] and [the] need for care in use and disposal, yet it did not do so, and should have done so much earlier based upon information available to it and known by it.
Westinghouse prepared the ANSI C-107 first draft of the "Capacitor Plant Housekeeping and Employee Safety" portion of the proposed ANSI C-107 standard on the use and disposal of PCBs.
In 1970, Defendants wrote letters purporting to be addressed to all of their customers of PCB products, but which was not sent to Nevada Power, and the purported purpose of the letter was to advise the customers of the environmental and health hazards of PCBs but the letter omitted material facts known by defendants about the environmental and health hazards of PCBs.
In 1970, Monsanto knew that MCS 1016 did not have biodegradation at a level that was statistically significant, yet they encouraged the claim that this PCB product was biodegradable.
Since 1969, Monsanto had a program to replace PCBs in dielectric fluids for transformers and capacitors, yet did not impart this information to Nevada Power.
In 1976, Monsanto reported internally that an epidemiology study of certain of its employees showed a statistically significant increase in lung cancer though an epidemiologist employed by it said the lung cancer was not caused by the PCBs .
GE and Monsanto discussed the presence of chlorodibenzofurans in PCBs in 1975.
In 1969, Monsanto developed a policy on PCBs to make the government, states, and Universities prove their case while avoiding as much confrontation as possible and indicated that adverse publicity and competition are the real weapons. It also admitted that it couldn't defend against all the accusations being made against PCBs since some animals or fish or insects will be harmed.
In October of 1970, Monsanto issued an internal status report on its performance against its PCB plan and indicated that it must continue to emphasize to all remaining users of PCBs the importance of preventing escape to the environment and that Monsanto must ensure that these warnings are fully documented so that they will support the action taken by Monsanto in this area should Monsanto become involved in legal actions.
53
Monsanto followed closely the success of its public relations regarding its manufacture of PCBs.
It was estimated in 1969 that 10 million pounds of PCBs annually may become environmental contaminants by their escape into the environment, yet this information was not given to Nevada Power.
Metcalf stated in 1969 that, because of the stability of PCBs, most of the PCB (estimated to be 2 X 10 to the eighth power) which has escaped to the environment may still be circulating in the global ecosystem.
In 1970, Monsanto had a goal to determine the presence of dioxin and/or related toxic materials in PCB products.
In 1938, D r . Von Oettingen wrote an article on the toxicity and potential dangers of inerteen, a PCB dielectric fluid sold by Westinghouse. In his article, apparently written for Westinghouse, Dr. Von Oettinger noted the following:
a. Inerteen was less toxic than trichlorbenzene, which was used in inerteen; b. that the intake of fatal doses (perhaps 3 to 5 teaspoonfuls) will cause hyperemia of all internal organs, extensive degeneration of the liver, and damage of the mucous membranes of the stomach. With smaller doses, these effects were less severe and there was some tendency toward healing if further absorption was prevented? c. Simple contact of Inerteen with human skin causes dryness of the skin, thickening and scaling, and sufficient quantities may be absorbed in this way to cause damage of the liver; d. Inerteen contact with the skin should be avoided; e. In view of the possibility of a toxic actin of this material on the liver, persons suffering from injuries of the liver (jaundice) syphilis, and heart diseases should be excluded from operations where Inerteen is handled; f . Workers handling Inerteen or with frequent exposure to its vapors should undergo periodic medical examinations. Special attention should be paid to the condition of the liver. Westinghouse did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
At a November 17, 1969 meeting at Monsanto, a discussion was held regarding the PCB problem and a program was outlined for coping with it. A subsequent presentation of the PCB Management Plan indicated Monsanto's concern is great because of the $21 M worldwide business involved with gross profits of $10 M on a net investment of approximately $9 M.
In 1970, Monsanto made an effort to terminate the use of PCBs for cutting oil, medicinal, dental and cosmetic applications.
54
In June of 1969, 50 pounds per day of PCB was leaving the Monsanto plant in Anniston. In April of 1969, 700 pounds per day was leaving the Monsanto plant in Sauget, Illinois as part of the plant effluent, reduced to 200 pounds per day in March of 1970, reduced to 65 pounds per day when the report was written, and 30 pounds per day were lost to effluent at the Monsanto plant in Newport.
In 1970, Monsanto was earning $10 MILLION per year using PCBs as a pesticide extender, $90 MILLION per year using PCBs in medicinal, dental and cosmetic applications, and $50 MILLION per year using PCBs in cutting oil.
Monsanto did a study begun in Florida in 1938 to determine the biodegradability of aroclor. When this material was excavated in 1969, it was determined that after 30 years, the Aroclor was still present and had not migrated to any significant degree.
PCBs were first synthesized and described in 1891. PCBs were first produced in the U.S. by Swann Research, later acquired by Monsanto. The first major use of PCBs was apparently as a liquid dielectric in capacitors manufactured by GE starting in 1930. A Monsanto marketing guide to PCBs published in the late 1960s described the possible use of PCBs in insecticides and in other uses. The available data on the toxicity of PCBs was first summarized in 1931. Skin problems attributed to PCB exposure were later reported to be associated with various industrial processes including PCB manufacturing, capacitor manufacturing, industrial painting, and electrical cable insulating. Systemic effects of exposure to mixtures of chlorinated organic compounds including PCBs were also noted during the 1930s and were evaluated in animal exposure studies in 1938, 1943 and 1944. In much of this early work, the toxicity studies used commercial mixtures, with included by PCB and chlorinated naphthalene, and the effects of one or the other were not conclusively demonstrated. None of Defendants ever undertook to conduct those tests or, if they were undertaken, Defendants have not made public the results of those tests. Animal exposure tests eventually defined the toxicity of PCBs beginning in the early 1940s. Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
Any mailings by defendants to public utilities regarding the PCB problem were not sent to Nevada Power and if they were sent, they did not adequately describe the potential harm to health and the environment, nor other information that would suggest PCBs may be taken off the market or regulated severely.
All of the facts contained in Plaintiff's exhibit 1609 which is too voluminous to include in this interrogatory response are hereby incorporated as contentions. The information in the exhibit was never imparted to Nevada Power.
55
In 1970, Monsanto was telling its customers that, despite the growing body of information that PCBs are ubiquitous in the environment and potential hazards to health and the environment, it intended, nonetheless, to continue to make PCB products available to the electrical industry for use in sealed capacitors and transformers.
In 1970, GE was the largest single user of Monsanto's PCBs.
Important toxicity information on PCBs was not imparted to the business people within defendants' organizations which resulted in that information being withheld from Nevada Power.
Defendants coordinated the development of standards by IEEE and NEMA relating to PCBs by taking positions of authority in those organizations in order to develop those standards. The result was an obfuscation of toxicity data on PCBs and the withholding of information on the toxicity data on PCBs.
On January 9, 1969, an industrial hygienist of the Ford Motor Company wrote to Mr. John Ferry, industrial hygienist, GE, Schenectady, asking that a questionnaire be complete on the characteristics of GE's transformer fluid. The inquiry apparently led Mr. Ferry to contact Elmer Wheeler of Monsanto and learn - for the first time by anyone - of Monsanto's developing concern that PCBs could represent and environmental problem. Ferry communicated this information to GE in June of 1969. This information was not timely or adequately imparted to Nevada Power.
In April of 1969, E.L. Raab wrote managers of engineering in transformer and capacitor departments, passing along information which GE's medical director had received from Monsanato relative to west coast publicity on the ecological threat being associated with PCBs. The medical director and industrial hygienist of Monsanato had given the same information to GE's corporate medical director and other GE employees. This information was not imparted to Nevada Power in an adequate or timely manner.
All of the major facts contained in plaintiff's exhibit 1628 which are too voluminous to list in this interrogatory response are hereby incorporated as contentions. The information in this exhibit was not imparted to Nevada Power.
In February of 1971, Monsanto wrongfully informed its customers that aroclor 1221 was biodegradable.
Defendants intentionally attempted to thwart the development of dry transformers as subsitutes for PCB filled transformers.
56
In 1959, Monsanto1s assistant medical director wrote to Westinghouse1s administrator of industrial hygiene as stated:
11...it is possible that prolonged or repeated skin contact [with PCBs] could lead to chloracne....This indicates to me, however, that sufficient exposure, whether by inhalation of vapors or skin contact, can result in chloracne which I think we must assume could be an indication of more serious systemic injury if the exposure was allowed to continue." Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1959, Defendants were familiar with the literature on the potential adverse health and environmental impact of PCBs, yet they did not impart that information to Nevada Power. Specifically, they were aware of the 1937 Dr inker study and roundtable discussion, and the paper by Dr. Von Oettingen entitled "The Halogenated Hydrocarbons Toxicity and Potential Dangers," along with the papers referred to in that publication.
On or about December of 1971, a publication appeared which Monsanto and perhaps GE and Westinghouse believed would result in "extended legal liability" action against Monsanto, and the manufacturers and users of PCBs for detrimental environmental effects, unionized worker safety hazards, yet this information was not imparted to Nevada Power.
On or about December of 1971, a publication reported that in 1971, nearly 100 scientists from around the world gathered in North Carolina to discuss PCBs under the auspices of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. It was reported at the conference, and in the publication, that PCBs are everywhere. Scientists have detected these ubiquitous and toxic chemicals in raianfall, unsedimented Arctic lakes, snow fields and the ocean; t h e y 're in the body fat of most birds, fish, animals, and m a n ; they've killed mink in quantities as small as 10 ppm in the body; they've contaminated poultry and have turned up in recycled food packaging materials. Spectacular industrial outbreaks of PCB poisoning have occurred in Japan and West GErmany, producing horrendous skin eruptions in persons affected by huge doses of thousands of parts per million. The defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1971, PCBs were linked with Polychlorinated dibenzofurans. The defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
By 1971, Monsanto was involved in a variety of law suits relating to PCBs and their potential harm to human health and the environment, yet Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
57
In November of 1970, Monsanto reported to GE that it planned to do everything in its control to remain a supplier of PCBs to the transformer and capacitor industries, an attitude that was relayed to defendants' sales people and to Nevada Power.
In April of 1970, Monsanto reported that silicone was a possible substitute for PCBs, but wrongfully reported that their costs was prohibitive. In fact, when a change was made to silicone, the cost was slightly more than PCB transformers and capacitors. Thus, the switch to silicone took longer than it should have, since no demand was created because of the erroneous cost information.
In April of 1970, Westinghouse informed Monsanto that it needed to know "What do we tell our customers? re disposal of failed capacitors and PCBs." Monsanto stated it must come up with some type of response for its customers indicating that it had been asked that questions at almost every account.
In July of 1971, the utility industry was known by Westinghouse and Monsanto to be "living from hand to mouth" regarding capacity and that capacitors were the key.
In 1974, defendants knew that the electric utility industry could
pay three to four times the price of transformers and capacitors
with PCBs for a product that had suitable characteristics and no
environmental problems.
It was feared, however, that dry
transformers would take over the market because of economics.
All of the facts in Plaintiff1s exhibit 1682, which is too voluminous to reproduce in this interrogatory response are hereby incorporated as contentions. Defendants did not impart the information to Nevada Power in a timely, adequate manner.
In 1954, it was published that an expsoure to vapors from an old PCB filled heat exchanger produced poisoning like that that occurred in Yusho, Japan, and which may have been caused, in part, by impurities such as polychlorinated dibenzofurans and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins, as well as PCBs. Defendants did not impart this information to Nevada Power in a timely and adequate manner.
GE was informed in 1976 or 1977 that its workers suffered from chloracne, yet defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In April of 1970, Defendants knew and admitted that it had been established that PCBs were in the general environment in many (if not all) parts of the world in sufficient quantity that nature, through various concentrating phenomena, can make them highly toxic if not lethal to certain forms of animal life, yet Defendants did
58
not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1946, defendants knew of "incidents" in a Westinghouse plant involving workers exposed to PCBs, yet defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1946, defendants knew that prolonged exposure to PCB vapors could produce severe lung reactions, which might best be described as "chemical pneumonia," yet defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
The transformers and capacitors containing PCBs that were made with PCBs manufactured by Monsanto and sold by GE and Westinghouse have contained 0 - 2 ppm chlorodibenzofuran.
In 1961, Monsanto wrote to GE and said that exposure to high concentrations of PCB vapors for a short period do not constitute a serious hazard and that at normal temperatures, there should be no problem, and that in regard to skin contact, PCBs would act much like a common paint thinner or remover leading to drying and cracking of the skin, when in fact they knew PCBs caused much more serious adverse health effects.
In 1972, Westinghouse informed its own in-house staff, but not its customers, of pending lawsuits involving P C B s , of an indemnificiation requirement with Monsanto.
GE had a document destruction policy for documents addressing transformers and capacitors, yet did not inform Nevada Power in a timely or adequate manner.
In 1987, GE acknowledged that product claims/liability will be a fact of life long after that last large transformer and bushing is shipped from its Pittsfield plant. It recommended that, to reduce its liability exposure, care be given then to records disposal and retention.
Westinghouse invoformed its employees during the 1970s that "we have no knowledge of any health or environmental problems caused by the use of PCB's in W capacitors" when, in fact, they knew that was not true.

All of the major facts contained in Plaintiff's exhibit 1750 which is too voluminous to reproduce in this interrogatory response are
59
hereby incorporated as contentions. Defendants did not impart this information to Nevada Power in a timely and adequate manner.

Westinghouse purchased all of its PCBs from Monsanto.
All of the major facts contained in Plaintiff's exhibit 1760 which is too voluminous to reproduce in this interrogatory response are hereby incorporated as contentions. Defendants did not impart this information to Nevada Power.
All of the major facts contained in plaintiff's exhibit 1793 which is too voluminous to reproduce in this interrogatory response are hereby incorporated as contentions. Defendants did not impart this information to Nevada Power.
Monsanto was the sole domestic supplier of PCBs.
GE had its liability for PCB sales appraised by Applied Mathematics Laboratory of the Group Technical Resources Operation, including an estimate of their liability in the event of spills and the costs of those spills. GE determined to continue its PCB sales because the profit margin was greater than the anticipated costs from its potential liability.
In 1975, Westinghouse reported that its labels for PCBs were deficient.
Monsanto frequently shipped Inerteen to Westinghouse customers.
In its early use of PCBs, Westinghouse provided greater information on the hazards of PCBs, than they did later during the 1970s and Nevada Power was not aware of the earlier warnings given by Westinghouse.
In 1976, GE informed its customers that retrofilling transformers containing PCBs is not a good idea.
All of the major facts contained in Plaintiff's exhibit 1905 which is too voluminous to reproduce in these interrogatory responses are hereby incorporated as contentions. Defendants did not disclose this information to Nevada Power in a timely and adequate manner.
In 1947, Defendants knew that "Chronic poisoning may occur where there are repeated or recurring exposures to a sufficient concentration of Inerteen ...vapor over a period of months or years" and that " [s]uch exposures may produce internal bodily injury which may be disabiling or could be fatal." They also knew
60
that inerteen is highly toxic if taken internally, the swallowing of approximately one or two ounces may cause serious internal injury or perhaps death, and that it can be absorbed through the skin and can produce toxic reactions inernally and that it can cause chloracne. Yet, defendants did not adequately impart that information to Nevada Power, nor did they inform Nevada Power that they knew that information in 1947.
In March of 1969, Monsanto was informed that the PCB pot was really boiling, but did not inform Nevada Power of that fact, nor what was meant.
In 1970, Westinghouse knew that local, state, and federal regulations for PCBs were forthcoming and suggested a review of its liabilities to determine what programs it should be instituting.
In 1969, Monsanto instructed its sales people not respond to any questions relating to PCBs and, instead, to refer them to employees at Monsanto's corporate headquarters.
In 1969, Monsanto believed there would be regulatory action taken regarding the use, manufacture, and disposal of PCBs, but did not inform Nevada Power of that fact.
In 1971, Westinghouse believed it may have to reword the warning labels used on its PCB products to limit its liability.
In 1974, Monsanto knew PCDF's were highly toxic, and that they were present in aroclor products, yet they did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
The lower chlorinated PCBs were more biodegradable than the higher chlorinated PCBs, yet the lower chlorinated PCBs were also more toxic and defendants did not impart this informatiaon to Nevada Power.
The major facts in Plaintiff's exhibit 1958 which is too voluminous to reproduce in these interrogatory responses are hereby incorporated as contentions. Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved and did not provide this information to Nevada Power in a timely and adequate manner.
At least 150 lawsuits have been brought against Monsanto relating to their manufacture of PCBs.
61
In 1945, Monsanto admitted in an Aroclor applications bulletin that prolonged exposure to Aroclor vapors evolved at high temperature or by repeated oral ingestion will lead to systemic toxic effects. No other Monsanto publication prior to 1980 contained that warning. Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In an early operations manual intended solely for employees at Monsanto's Krummrich plant, Monsanto admitted that Aroclor has a high toxicity for vapor inhalation, that it can cause dermatitis, systemic poisoning from the fumes, and yellow atrophy of the liver, yet defendants did not impart this information to Nevada Power, nor did they impart the information that defendants knew these facts in the 1930s and 1940s.
Monsanto had various safety procedures for workers exposed to PCBs, such as changes of clothing, showers, impervious gloves, and regular medical checkups, that were not made known to Nevada Power. However, Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1975, Monsanto knew Aroclor 1016 was classified as a severe and primary skin irritant in tests performed by Younger Laboratories which showed reduced appetite and activity (one to three days in survivors), increased weakness, collapse and death in laboratory animals, and with gross autopsies of the decedents that included hemorrhagic lungs and liver and gastrointestinal inflammation for gall bladder, darkened kidney and spleen, and gastrointestinal inflammation for dermal ingestion. Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1971, Sweden passed laws to prohibit or prescribe import, manufacture, sale and use of PCB or products containing PCB, yet defendants did not notify Nevada Power of this in a timely and adequate manner.'
On May 22, 1969, Monsanto's Board of directors approved spending $1,100,00 for expansion of the solid Aroclor facilities at the Anniston, Alabama plant despite the fact that it knew or should have known at that time of environmental and human health hazards associated with the production and use of PCBs and productions containing PCBs.
Monsanto admitted in 1970 that no foreign PCBs were being imported for use in domestic electrical transformers and capacitors.
In February of 1971, Monsanto admitted PCBs are "extremely resistant" to biodegradation, yet it knew this informatoin years before and did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
62
Polychlorinated dibenzo furans are an impurity or byproduct of PCBs, a highly toxic chemical, and this information was never made known to Nevada Power in a timely and adequate manner.
In 1970, Monsanto informed its business group members that they were not to answer questions relating to PCBs in writing and that if a written request was sought, it should be directed to corporate headquarters, and also informed them that "We don't want to take [PCB] fluid back." Instead, they were ordered to sell customers replacement PCB alleged to biodegrade better.
In 1969, Monsanto's corporate development committee admitted that to avoid legal action relating to PCBs, it had to "provide adequate warnings to customers and users, including advice as to disposal m e t h o d s ."
On 11/10/60, a rough draft of an outline on "PCB Environmental Pollution Abatement Plan" was prepared. Plaintiff incorporates the document in its entirety as facts supporting its response to defendants' contention interrogatories.
Plaintiff incorporates Exhibit 425 in its entirety as facts supporting its response to defendants' contention interrogatories.
In 1969, Monsanto wrote a letter acknowledging that PCBs had been laced in soil in Florida 30 years earlier. Monsanto admitted that examining that soil "might be much more valuable than any accelerated test [to determine biodegradability] that could be devised." Monsanto dug up the earth and discovered that the PCB did not biodegrade, yet Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1968, Monsanto received a letter from the United States Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, stating that it was brought to their attention that PCBs and PCB compounds have found in avian and animal tissues and that this agency was conducting its own studies on that problem, yet Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1955, Monsanto's medical department advised employees that the eating of lunches should not be allowed in the PCB department because the PCB vapors could contaminate the lunches, contaminated hands could contaminate the lunches, that eating in process departments is a potentially hazardous procedure that could lead to serious difficulties, and that "while the Aroclors [PCB] are not particularly hazardous from our own experience, this is a difficult problem to define because early literature work claimed that chlorinated biphenyls were quite toxic materials by ingestion or inhalation. In any case, where workmen claimed physical harm from
63
any contaminated food, it would be extremely difficult on the basis of past literature reports to counter such claims," yet Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1955, Monsanto was aware of the difference in toxicity between Aroclor 1254 and 1242 and stated its position as follows: "We know Aroclors are toxic but the actual limit has not been precisely defined. It does not make too much difference, it seems to me, because our main worry is what will happen if an individual develops any type of liver disease and gives a history of Aroclor exposure. I am sure the juries would not pay a great deal of attention to MAC'S [maximum allowable concentrations]."
In 1954, Monsanto had run tests on animals for about 60 days at roughly seven times the one milligram per cubic meter level and found liver damage, yet Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1950, Monsanto learned that a plant using PCBs had employees whose chief complaints were irritation of the upper respiratory tract plus possible liver damage, yet Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1950, the Indiana State Board of Health informed Monsanto that several Indiana industrial workers became ill due to the inhalation of PCB vapors, yet Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate-with the hazards involved.
Monsanto manufactured and sold PCBs from 1957 to 1977 in accordance with Exhibit 443, which is incorporated herein in full.
In 1973, a division of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development met in Paris and directed that each member nation ensure that PCBs shall not be used for industrial or commercial purposes, except for limited circumstances, including in dielectrics, yet Monsanto did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
The major facts contained in plaintiff's Exhibit 207 are incorporated herein as contentions. General Electric did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1972, GE wrote that the only adverse health effects experienced by U.S. workers exposed to PCBs, either during the manufacture of these liquids or of electrical equipment containing these liquids, have been limited to occasional cases of non-chronic chloracne or
64
other temporary skin lesions or irritations, when, in fact, GE knew that was not true since it reported in 1937 severe cases of chloracne among its own workers exposed to PCBs.
In 1972, GE estimated the total PCBs which have escaped to the environment, and which are an environmental burden, to be 1.5 x 10 to the fifth power tons.
In 1972, GE stated that PCBs in capacitors are a major problem because they are in small appliances which will probably all be discarded and the PCBs will enter the environment, yet defendants never imparted this information to Nevada Power.
From 1966 to 1975, GE purchased over 82 million pounds of PCBs, all from Monsanto.
In 1975, an administrative proceeding by the Department of Environmental Conservation regarding GE found that Aroclor 1016 has been found to be a deceptive numerical designation because the chemical has ten carbons, not 12, and contains over 41% chlorine, not 16%. There was no scientific reason for naming the chemical 1016 and following the old nomenclature, it should have been called 1241 plus.
In 1975, an administrative proceeding by the Department of Environmental Conservation regarding GE found that fish from the Hudson River, downstream from the GE plant, reached over 100 times in excess of the level of PCBs allowed by the Food and Drug Administration, yet General Electric did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1975, an administrative proceeding by the Department of Environmental Conservation regarding GE found that a reading of 2800 PPM PCB was taken at the confluence of the Hudson River and a GE plant, yet General Electric did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved.
In 1975, an administrative proceeding by the Department of Environmental Conservation regarding GE found that GE's unlawful discharge of PCBs into the Hudson River was a corporate abuse in that GE caused the PCBs to be discharged without exercising sufficient precaution and concern.
In 1975, an administrative proceeding by the Department of Environmental Conservation regarding GE found that it has been administratively proven that PCBs are toxic in part because they biomagnify in the human food chain up to 200,000 times from one species to another.
65
The major facts contained in plaintiff's Exhibit 221 are incorporated herein as contentions. Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved. In 1980, GE maintained a system for determining which of its transformers contained PCBs and such a list would show which of the transformers it sold contained PCBs. Since the late 1920s, Monsanto was the sole supplier of PCBs to the U.S. manufacturers using PCBs. The major facts contained in plaintiff1s Exhibit 855 are incorporated herein as contentions. Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved. In 1971, ANSI C-- 107 was informed that prolonged exposure of PCB liquid or vapor to the skin should be avoided to prevent possibility of chloracne and possible damage to the liver and kidney, yet defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved. The major facts contained in plaintiff1s Exhibit 947 are incorporated herein as contentions. Defendants did not issue any related precautions or warnings that were adequate, timely, or commensurate with the hazards involved. It was known in 1955 that Aroclor 12 54 and 1242 had different toxicities.
