Wright In response to the referenced memo, I have hastily composed the following statement: ' Pentachlorophenol and sodium pentachlorophenate are recognized industrial toxicants. In recent years commercial pentachlorophenol has been shown to contain chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, primarily the octachloro derivitive with lesser amounts of heptachloro and hexachloro derivitives. These-chlor inated p-dioxins have been demonstrated to be considerably less toxic than the tetrachloro p-dioxin which has been found Intthe defoliant, 2, 4, 5-T. The tetrachloro derivitive has not been found in commercial pentachlorophenol. After nearly 30 years of manufacture and use, no known problems have been associated with penta- ' chlorophenol under the proper conditions of safe handling and recommended applications. Equally significant Is the fact that no known environmental . problems have been Identified as being related to the proper use of commercial pentachlorophenol. In summary, the available evidence would Indicate that under the proper conditions of handling and appli cation, pentachlorophenol has not been associated ' with industrial hygiene nor environmental contam ination problems.

Kimbrough Toxicology Branch Center for Disease Control Department of Health* Education and Welfare Atlanta* Georgia 30333 - . ' Dear Dr, Kimbrough* .. I appreciated receiving a copy of the paper entitled "Evidence of Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) in AroSbr 1254 and the Urine of Rats Following Dietary Exposure to Aroclor 1254." I asked Monsanto*s Dr. James P. Mieure, who is associated with our analytical services group, if he would care to comment. Hie comments were as follows* . "Unlike the recent work of Roach at FDA, this paper does not present sound evidence for finding tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) in Aroclor 1254. In my opinion, the mass spectral data refute, rather than enforce, the author's implication of identifying TCDF in our product. She isolated material is probably chlorinated methylbiphenyl. One of the authors, A. Curley, was Informed of thlB possibility' about a year ago by E. S. Tucker in a private communication. "As correctly sta'ted in the text and illustrated in Figure 1, the mass spectra of chlorinated dibenzofurans contain a multi* plet of peaks corresponding to a loss of CO Cl (63 mass units) from the parent multiplet. However, none of the mass spectra of Aroclor 1254 fractions in Figure 2 exhibit any evidence of a M-63 multiplet (M/e 24l for TCDF). Hence the parent multiplet at M/e 304, which the authors attribute to TCDF, must have a different origin. v - "Based on our knowledge of the composition of Aroclor 1254, the isolated .component Is likely methyltetrachlorobiphenyl (chlorinated methylbiphenyl). Ihe mass spectrum of this material < * DsWl 73878 STLCOPCB4048399 Dr. Renate D. Kimbrough Page 2 December 13* 1974 would have a parent ion multiplet at M/e 304 identical to that of TCDP. lhe major fragmentation would be the Iobb of two chlorine or hydrogen chloride moieties. This is consistent with the spectrum in Figure 2A. Anniston biphenyl typically contains about 200 ppm methylbiphenyl. therefore, it is not unreason^ able to find chlorinated methylbiphenyl in our Aroclor products." I hope you find Dr. Mieure's comments Interesting and informative. . , Sincerely, ', . WBF:pw W. B.

Paton, 18/11/T4 C. Paton . Responding to your question under Item 2 of the referenced memo, it is true that our contention is to keep all analytical information relating to customer plant effluents confidential. The information is shared only with representatives of our customer and no one else. - The NPDES permit system applies to all sites at which waste waters are generated. Under this system the management of the site petitions the regional office of the Federal EPA for permission to discharge wastes containing contaminants at specified levels. After a considerable lapse of time and much negotiating, a permit is eventually issued. The management of the site must make certain that their operations comply with the provisions of the permit. Any additional ' subsequent standards promulgated by the EPA, for example, the Toxic Pollutant Effluent Standards, which include PCBs, would take precedence over any previous permit agreement. W. B.

Hyg., Director, Division of Field Studies and Clinical Investi gations (DFSCl), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). NIOSH reports to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (DHEW). Hie participants in the. discussion are as shown In the attached list. The original purpose was to explore whether Monsanto had a "suitable occupational group for study" to assess the potential chronic effects of PCBs. To be included were . ''PCB-exposed active and inactive workers at Monsanto in a planned retrospective cohort study." What this would Involve is obtaining work histories of time spent in PCB departments, and medical records .of active and still-living Inactive employees. The study would not be complete without examination of death records of those "PCB-exposed" employees-who are deceased -- including those who expired while employed and those who expired after termination of employment because of retirement or for any other cause. , Hie proposed study was stimulated by a report from Dr. * Kimbrough, Toxicologist, CDC, to NIOSH, that she had found an alarming rate of liver cancers In rats fed Aroclor 1260. Briefly, she found 15 of 180 female rats with "definite hepatic cell carcinoma" when fed Aroclor 1260 at 100 ppm in the diet for 22 months. Only one of 173 controls had the carcinoma. She then described a number of other liver tissue effects as "pre-cancerous lesions" and found these in 175 of the experimental rats and In bnly three of the controls. SW 173885 STLCOPCB4048406 -3- Bie study will take six to eight months for completion and Monsanto will be kept informed of any developments. Drafts of any reports will be discussed with Monsanto before any release. * Nld^H is to write a letter to the Medical Department to spell out in more detail than in previous correspondence their proposed study. At their request, Mr. James H. Jones and Mr. Ralph Bicknell were escorted by Bill Engman in a tour of the Aroclor pro duction unit at the W.Q. Krummrich plant. They apparently had limited experience with chemical plants. This lack of experience could account for the superficial inspection and questioning which they conducted. .. W. B, Papageorge E. P.

Fred Lee Route 2, Box 111E Plano, Texas 75074 Dear Freds * I have received the various articles and papers which you have mailed to me and I find them both Interesting and. In formative. I sincerely appreciate your continuing concern for matters of interest to Monsanto. I have Just reviewed the copy of your recent paper relating to chlorinated hydrocarbons in Lake Ontario. It appears to me that the study was very thorough and highly professional. I personally have no specific comments to offer relating to its findings. In your letter accompanying the draft of the Lake Ontario work, you express your concern about the continuing presence of PCBs in waste waters and natural waters. Since I have no specific Information relating to the types of PCBs found, the locations being sampled, and the concentrations detected, I find that'I cannot evaluate the significance of this in formation. I have been hopeful that the amounts of PCBs being detected would be diminishing and as you know, some reports have indicated that this is probably happening. On the other hand, with the relatively high persistence of some of the PCBs, I would not be surprised if we continue to find low level concentrations for some time to come. I.find the reference to "measurable amounts of some of the new *#i4shundred series PCBs in domestic waste waters" extremely surprising. In the first place there is only one FCB mixture designated as a ten hundred type. This mixture, Aroclor 1016, DSW 173895 STLCOPCB4048416 Dr. 0. Fred Lee Page 2 December 5* 1974 is a di8tilled version of Aroclor 1242 with the Penta and higher chlorinated homologs considerably reduced. From my knowledge of the distribution of Aroclor 1016 and its appli cation in capacitors, I find the presence of this PCB mixture in domestic waste waters unbelievable. In my opinion the information Just does not make any sense. You also refer to your colleagues in EPA having an impression that Monsanto is not significantly curtailing the production and sale of PCBs. As you probably know, I have discussed PCBs with many individuals in EPA and I do not find this impression. I would be veiy willing to review Monsanto's . PCB policy and practice with anyone anywhere. I would appre ciate knowing who lm EPA has expressed skepticism about our program. As you know, we currently sell PCBs only to manufacturers of capacitors and transformers who have demonstrated an under standing of the PCB problem and have acknowledged full re sponsibility for preventing this material from entering the environmnnt. All of our customers are aware of the EPA's Proposed Toxic Pollutants Standard and have aggressively .. taken steps at their plant locations to minimize loss of PCBs. It is my personal conviction that the PCBs your colleagues are detecting in the environment in all probability originated from applications, other than the current controlled dielectric use. -- - Sincerely, .

Pier Samples of ACL'a have been analyzed for heavy metal content including Mercury and in every case the results have Indicated that Mercury content was non-detectable. The procedure used in the limits of detection is identical to that described in Dr. J. J. Jezeski's letter to Bill Francis dated November 1. Dr. Jezeski also indicated in his letter that two of Sep-ko's products had Mercury contents of 270 ppm and 550 ppm. From our knowledge of our ACL's we are convinced that this high level of Mercury must have come from some other source. Although the Chicago ordinance limits Mercury in sewerage effluent to 0.5 parts per billion, I do not believe that the development of analytical methodology to detect Mercury in ACL*s in the ppb range is Justified since all normal uses involve dilution to a considerable degree. Will you please have someone inform Dr. Jezeski that we have not detected Mercury in our ACL's and the high levels he has reported in his products would indicate a source of Mercury having high concentrations, .

I regret I cannot honor your request for two reasons. First, Monsanto no longer manufactures Aroclor 1260 and secondly, the policy of re stricting the sale of this type of material for dielectric applications only, although voluntarily implemented by Monsanto, reflects the thinking of the concerned United ^ States Government departments. In addition a similar policy has been adopted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), an organization of about 25 indus trialized nations of the worldeland is currently being considered for adoption by the European common market countries (EEC).

I suspect, however, that the Interteen is unusable because of prior use or contamination. If so the only method of disposal that is practical is the use of authorized landfills which are properly operated and properly located. Disposal under these conditions, in my opinion, should present no potential problems. r In your reference to incineration you refer to "temperatures exceeding 800 F."

During 1971 sales to paper coating, heat transfer and hydraulic fluids applies- tions were also terminated. - Since December, 1971* sales of polychlorinated biphenyls have been limited to applications as a dielectric fluid in capacitors and transformers to customers approved by Monsanto.

Greenville, South Carolina 29602 ' Dear Mr. Eapen: ' As discussed during our telephone conversation of July 3# the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is conducting hearings on the proposed permanent standard for occupational exposure to vinyl chloride. The hearing began on Tuesday, June 25 and continued through Saturday morning, June 29. The hearing is scheduled to resume on Monday, July 8. I have attached a schedule of appearances which you may find interesting. In general, the vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride producers are contending that the proposed standard cannot be met and they would be forced to terminate their oper ations. The users of polyvinyl chloride contend that their operations are in compliance and therefore they should be excluded from this regulation. The labor representatives and Health Research Group are supporting.the proposed standard. In response to your inquiry relating to my opinion regarding the level which will be promulgated, I can only speculate that it will be less than 50 ppm but some number greater than 1 ppm; perhaps 15 - 25 ppm. I estimate that the final standard will be published by mid-October. DSW 174127 , i ,- i STLCOPCB4048648 Kr. John Eapen Page 2 July 3, 1974 As I Indicated, our Research Department is actively studying procedures for reducing the vinyl chloride monomer content of . our Poldin, and we are optimistic that low levels can be achieved, which should make it easier for the user to be in compliance. I hope this information is useful to you. If I can be of further service, please let me know. ` Sincerely, WBPspw W. B.

In my reference memo I had indicated that Scripset 720 might have questionable status. I now believe that Scripset 720 can be considered acceptable since ammonia is included in the GRAS list (generally recognized as safe), and the styrene-malaeic anhydride copolymer are also listed in Section 121.2526.
