dra: . /Pa 7/23/73 Dear Sir: In February, 1971 we announced the reformulation of our Pydraul industrial fluids to eliminate the use of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as components of these fluids. Since then we have reviewed our formulations and taken further steps to remove all chlorinated compounds from our Pydraul fluids. Pydraul fluids containing chlorinated materials have not been sold since mid-1972. Recently the Food and Drug Administration published in the Federal Register (Vol. 38, No. 129, pgs 18096-18104, July 6, 1973) a final rule-making order regulating the sources by which polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) may contaminate animal feed, food, and food packaging materials during manufacture ng, handling and storage, and limiting the levels of PCB's that may be present in animal feed, food, and food-packaging materials as a result of unavoidable, environmental contamination. Attached is a copy for your use. Because you may have purchased Pydraul fluid prior to our change over activities in mid-1972 which may have contained PCBs, you may wish to review your procedures and inspect your facilities at this time to insure that your operations are in compliance with the new regulation. To assist you in any investigations you may > care to conduct, I have attached a list identifying the Pydraul fluids which contained chlorinated ingredientsU\^ /fvC-aA uHWlv ^0 'lit'- 0026944 PCB-ARCH0743257 -2- Proper disposal of chlorinated materials requires high temperature incineration. Monsanto has installed a facility at its Sauget, Illinois plant and has made this service available to its custo mers. Information relating to this service is attached to help you should you decide to dispose of such materials in this manner. '7\ I hope this information is useful to you. If I can be of further service please let me know.
