Mr. NELSON, Mr. President, scientific evidence make* It Increasingly clear that serious ever to confront the environment and to threaten human health. We can no longer afford to wait and debate the risks versus the commercial benefits. As In the case of DDT, It Is apparent that the risks to human health and the environment far exceed the benefits. More importantly, alternatives to the commercial use ol these substances are being developed. Pot this reason. 1 am proposing that all noncnolosed uses of PCD> cease im mediately and U\at all enclosed uses be ended within 1 year of enactment of a bill requiring such cessation, assuming that viable and sale alternatives exist for such substances. WTUT Til* SU4. WOULD SO First. ban all nonenclosed uses of PCB's Immediately. This would include but Is not limited to such uses as in carbonless puper. paints, coatings, soaps, copying ink toners. Second, bon oil enclosed uses l year after enactment. If the Administrator of EPA finds there are safe and viable alternatives available. Third, require EPA to define "en closed.'' based on minimum leakage. Fourth, require labeling of all-products csmninlng PCB's, which products ere manufactured after the issuance of such labeling mutations, noting that they contain PCD* and niuM be disposed of in accordance with Federal regulations. Fifth, require regulations controlling dlspivnl of PCB's nml PCB-containins products, and recycling of PCBs. vr'r--. ricnt o.' alternatives to IT')'1, for All Imported PCS'* would be eubject to the same restrictions. Tin* goal Is to eliminate the use of PCB s In the long term and to minimize their pollution effect. 2t is preferable riot to enact legislation on a subslance-hy-substance basis. How ever. the PCD problem shows no sign of nbatlnii, and It has become so severe, that It is necessary to address the prob lem head on. as we were forced to do with DDT. THE MOBUTU Nathaniel Peed. Assistant Secretary of Interior for Fish. Wildlife and Parks. Haled at a conference in Chicago on PCB's November lb-21: Wc nnift immediately respond to tbe dan gers post'd by PCB's; they represent bii ubl* qulivot 6tjenersllve liuiuence on our na tional health and well being. . . . Our food :,n;5 i.,,;.r Mtppiit'i nr* cuuiamlnaicd; our health ia threatened: and we are faced with `'environmental aireae" about which we know comparatively little. At least 10 million pounds Of PCB's are lost into the environment each year through vaporization, leaks, and spills, according to estimates reported by Thomas E. Kopp, a chemist with the En vironmental Protection Agency's Office of Toxic Substances. . At least 10 plants are dumping PCB's Into tJ.S. waterways and another two are discharging the chemicals in mu nicipal sewage treatment systems, ac cording to the EPA. PCB's are chemical compounds widely used in both closed and nonclosed com mercial uses because of their stability, fire resistance, and electrical insulating properties. They have been found to be far more resistant than DDT to degradation by natural forces. Thus, they are building up in concentration in the environ ment. wildlife, and human tissues. They have been found. In scientific tests, to cause severe skin and liver prob lems In humans. University of Wisconsin Medical School researchers. Dr. James R. Allen and Deborah Barsottl. have demon strated that very low PCB levels are dangerous to primates, causing facial swelling, loss of hair, acne lesions within 1 month, birth defects, miscarriages, still births, and death. Other research shows similar problems with fish and wildlife, such os reproduc tive failure identified In herring gull colonies around Lake Ontario. The Food and Drug Administration admits that PCB's have infiltrated our food. milk, water, and meat, to the ex* tent that the FDA has been forced to set toleranco levels of allowable amounts of PCB's In the food aunply. Despite efforts to voluntarily limit Uie commercial use of PCB's to closed sys- terns and to reduce U.S. production--by the only U.8. manufacturer, Monsanto Co --the pollution has not been reduced. This Is due in part to their Indestructi bility: to the fnct that U.S. users of Pcn\ ore tibi.iiiilni! *uj>|il;cs from foreign in ducers for nonenelosed ure.

Thousands ol pounds of Great Lakes fish have been condemned as un safe because of PCB contamination, and New York State conservation officials warn against cnMng Hudson River li.di, Water supplies throughout the Nation are contaminated far in excess of safe drtnktnq criteria. There has not been adequate moni toring of tire extent of the polutlon, nor of the sources of the pollution.

As stated at the November Chicago PCB conference by Dr. David Rail. Di rector, National Institute of Environ mental Health Sciences: Thus, In a relatively abort period of time, we mw a mao-mad* compound introduced into commerce for a relatively narrow pur pose, a cieeed use, broadened through new application* aod dleoovered to be har,:trou to animal*, buds. dab. and to man. in slight ly more than two generations, we had closed the atl-Loo*fr*quent circle ol progreel: prod* uct development, distribution, use, and re sulting bacard to buman bealtb. ram PCB's have been banned for most uses In Japan--after a 1WB poisoning of more than 1.000 persons who had eaten PCB tainted rice cooking ell. Alternatives have been Instituted in japan, and are being developed in the United States. For example, atr-ftlled transformers have been used for years Instead of PCB* filled transformers. Use of alternatives to PCB's may re quire retooling and redeslgnuig of some electrics! products and equipment which now use PCB s. PCB's cen be destroyed. In special in cinerators at very high temperature. PCB's can be recycled We can no longer afford to wait. Strict regulation ol PCB's. with an ultimate goal of eliminating their use altogether, and thus, of reducing their pollution of the ecosystem, must be undertaken Im mediately. There Is no dispute over their toxicity to wildlife and to humans. The risks of further contamination--with the U-n-a*. that future human generations may ex perience genetic damage and birth de fects--far outweigh the conuneictal ben efits of their continued use.
