Abstract: The application of benefit-cost analysis In the
registration of chemical pesticides Is developed. A
comprehensive benefit-cost system, designed to be used both In
the registration of new pesticides, as well as In the
rereglstratIon of existing pesticides. Is described. It Is a
workable system, not an Ideal one; that 1s. 1t reflects the
current state-of-the-art and It uses the presently available
data. As technology Improves, more data become available, and
knowledge Increases. components of the system can be upgraded
to reflect these changes. Nevertheless, the present system Is
_intended to provide convenient. summary formats of the most
"prominent Indicators of benefits and costs, so that all
benefits and costs. especially those which are conceptually
and empirically difficult to measure -- such as long-term
human health and Indirect environmental effects -- are
formatted and depicted In the most comparable presentation
possible.

Abstract: A procedure is described for continuous flow
bioassays on sensitive developmental stages of fish and other
aquatic species. Environmental toxicants may be screened for
teratogenic and other embryopathlc effects (e.g., mortality,
locomotor impairment) on eggs, embryos, and early juvenile
stages. Toxicant concentration may be regulated down to
1.O-O.1 ppb for an exposure period extending from
fertilization through 4-7 days posthatching. Bioassays may be
performed with either natural or synthetic water, and standard
physicochemical parameters (e.g., temperature, water hardness,
pH) can be manipulated Independently to determine effects on
toxicity. The procedure Is suitable for use' with a wide range
of fish and amphibian species, Including rainbow trout,
channel catfish, largemouth bass, leopard frog and others.
Concerning the toxic effects of many environmental trace
contaminants, embryonic and early Juvenile stages constitute
the critical sensitive links In the life cycles of many
aquatic animal species. Reproductive potential of aquatic
animals may be severely restricted or abolished by trace
levels of toxicants which are harmless or sublethal to most
adult organisms.

Abstract: A first order model for the sources. distribution
and fate of PCBs in an aquatic system is described. The model
is then applied to Lake Michigan and to the Great Lakes
Systems. The results obtained from the model indicate that
atmospheric sources are a major PCB input to the Great Lakes.
Because of the great water mass of the lakes. the PCB
concentration appears to be storage controlled rather than
loss controlled. The major loss mechanisms are found to be
co-evaporation from the alrwater interface and entrapment with
sediments. It is estimated that If all Inputs or PCBs rate
Lake Michigan were eliminated, it would take more than 7O
years for the concentration of PCBs in the water to decrease
by SO per cent.

Abstract: Humans exposed Industrially to the insecticide
carbaryl (1-naphthyl N-methyIcarbamate) excrete relatively
large quantities of 1-naphthol conjugated either as the
sulfate or glucuronide. A colorimetric procedure Is generally
used to quantitativel'y determine 1-naphthol In human urine.
However, this method lacks both the sensitivity and
specificity necessary for determining the relatively small
amounts of 1-naphthol excreted in the .urine of agricultural
workers exposed to low levels of carbaryl. The object of this
Investigation was to develop a rapid, sensitive method for the
determination of 1-naphthol in human urine.

quantitative analysis of even the most volatile PCB species in
an air sample. A perch1 orinatIon technique for the
quantitative analysis of PCB has been adapted for use. The
technique is shown to convert even the most volatile PCB
species to decachlorobipheny1 for simple and direct
quantitative analysis. Data Is presented to show conversion
efficiencies of a variety of PCBs to decachlorobipheny1 of 1O1
+ or - 6 percent over the range of 0. 1O3 to 1O.O micrograms1. A
ruggedness test was conducted which indicates the proposed
perchlorinatIon technique can yield reliable inter laboratory
results. The perchlorination technique is generally necessary
for the analysis of low (i.e.. less than 25 ng/cu m airborne
levels of PCB. The analytical method is effective for the
analysis of airborne PCB levels within at least the range of 1
ng/cu m to 5O micrograms/cu m. (Portions of this document are

Abstract: This preliminary analysis of the sources, sinks and
effect of nitrous oxide (N20) In the atmosphere Is a snapshot
in time of a rapidly moving object. Much has been learned
about this gas In recent years but much remains to be
determined. The most reasonable residence time for N20 in the
atmosphere Is In the range of 10O-150 years. Since the change
in atmospheric concentration of N2O is less than 1% per year,
this implies that the release rate Is In the range of 10-15 Mt
N20/year. The combination 'of freshwater, ocean and sediment
sources appears to be about 7 Mt N20/year which means that the
most that land/crop/fert11Izer systems can contribute is 8 Mt
N20/year. The unknown In this balance Is the concentration of
land/crop/fert11fzer systems. Measurement of such fluxes are
needed. It appears that the only sinks for N20 are In the
stratosphere. The overall effect of N20 on stratospheric ozone
is predicted to be small and could lead to an increase In
stratospheric ozone. The contribution of man made nitrous
oxide appears to be small at the present time but Is expected
to grow. The overall problem Is an Important one on the time
scale 20-5O years and Is not an Immediate crisis.

Abstract: The dally administration of large doses of
m-dlchlorobenzene (m-DCB) causes experimental hepatic
porphyrla 1n rats by Induction of delta-amlnolevulInlc acid
synthetase (ALA synthetase). However. smaller doses of m-DCB
produce a blphasic stimulation of both urinary coproporphyrIn
excreatlon and liver ALA synthetase. The decline of ALA
synthetase and urinary coproporphyrIn despite continued dally
dosage Is associated with an Increase in activity of the liver
drug-metabolizing systems and decreasing serum m-DCB levels.
The most probable explanation for the self- 1imltIng action of
m-DCB is stimulation by the drug of Its own metabolism.

Abstract: This report summarizes the work done under Research
Request No. 1 and includes three major parts: (1) Data
previously collected on an NSF study was supplemented to
provide the following Information where available on 667
industrial chemicals: (a) U.S. production; (b) estimates of
quantities released annually to the environment; (c) major
uses; and (d) references on mutagenic1ty tests. Mutagenicity
data on 25 chemicals were evaluated after developing a list of
assays and criteria for classifying the results as either
positive or negative/Inadequate. (2) Tables were prepared
which contain economic Information on 1791 chemicals belonging
to 26 structural classes considered to represent potential
Industrial carcinogens and mutagens. For those chemicals with
annual production greater than one million pounds, market
forecasts were prepared which present a brief summary of
production, consumption patterns, major uses, possible
substitutes, and growth trends. (3) Carcinogenic 1ty data for
all chemicals belonging to throe classes (epoxides. alkyl
halldes, and vinyl halides) were used to correlate structural
features with carcinogenic activity. Criteria were developed
for estimating the potential carcinogenlclty of chemicals 1n
each class. These criteria were applied to those chemicals in
each class known to be produced commercially or for which
there was evidence of significant human exposure. -The results
of the study were summarized In three separate reports.

Abstract: A study was made of the efficiency of the use of
pesticides to Identify and quantify the wastes and losses
which occur In the treatment of agricultural crops. The study
was reported In two volumes. The first volume Identified the
management practices and decisions for three crops—corn,
sorghum, and apples--that may lead to wasteful pesticide use,
and quantified the pesticide wastes occurring on each crop as
a result or these management practices. The second volume
Identified the physical factors that cause pesticide waste and
losses both during and after crop treatment for agriculture 1n
general, and estimated the application and postappHeat Ion
pesticide losses and wastes that occurred In 1971 for each of
the three above crops. The physical factors which were
examined extensively 1n this study were pesticide
overapplIcatIon and nonunlform distribution, pesticide drift,
and pesticide losses from crops due to runoff and soil
erosion.

problems; Influential forces In the user adjustment response
process; and Procedural recommendations for > pesticide
regulatory actions. It was found that: a period of 3 years
appears to be a reasonable definition for describing 'short
term' transitional user adjustment problems. This study found
that during the first growing season affected by a regulatory
action, many farmers will attempt to 'buy time' by stockpiling
the banned pesticide. For some farmers, such stockpiles may be
sufficient to carry them through the second growing season as
well. However. in the third growing season affected by a
regulatory action, few carry-over supplies of a banned
pesticide exist and thus, most, if not all, farmers are forced
to make an additional adjustment response.

Abstract: A field screening survey was conducted to determine
if polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) are present in the
environment near three industrial sites where these materials
have been manufactured or used In product formulations. The
sites surveyed are located in industrial areas of northeastern
New Jersey and Staten Island, New York. PBBs were detected at
all three si-tes chosen for this screening survey. The highest
levels of PBBs detected were 9.8 microgram/1 in waters, 6O ppb
in aquatic sediments. 4.6 ppm in soils, 23O ppb in fish
tissue, 92 ppm accumulated on marsh vegetation, and 431 ppm In
a sludge deposit. Air samples contained traces of
hexa-bromoblphenyI. Human hair samples contained up to 310 ppm
of PBB In extractable o.11 . There is conclusive evidence of
either past or ongoing wastewater-borne discharge of PBBs at
all three locations and Indirect evidence of airborne
discharges of PBBs at two of the locations. The presence of
PBBs in human hair oils is an Indication of possible human
exposure to this class of substances In the areas surveyed.

and Charleston. WV, and analyzed for volatile (purgeables) and
semivolat11e (extractable) organlcs using glass capillary gas
chromatography/mass spectrometry/computer. In the volatile
fraction, 26 halogenated hydrocarbons, 17 aldehydes, 2O
ketones, 11 alcohols, 2 acids, 3 ethers, 1 epoxlde, 14 fura'ns,
26 other oxygenated compounds, 4 sulfur-containing compounds.
7 nitrogen-containing compounds, 13 alkanes, 12 nlkenes. 7
alkynes. 11 cyclic hydrocarbons, and 15 aromatics were found.
Including major peaks for hexanal, 1Imonene, dlchlorobenzene,
and some esters. The levels of dlchlorobenzene appeared to be
significantly higher In the samples from Jersey City and
Bayonne than In samples from other sites. Jersey City samples
also appeared to have significantly higher levels of
tetrachloroethylene. Charleston and Jersey City samples
appeared to have significantly higher levels of chloroform;
however, chloroform was observed In the blanks at about 2O% of
that In-the samples. Due to the small sample size and lack of
control over the solicitation of sample donors. the data
cannot be used to extrapolate to the general population. Fewer
semivolatlle compounds of Interest were found. PolychlorInated
naphthalenes, polybromInated blphenyls. chlorinated phenols,
and other compounds were specifically sought and not detected
(limit of detection about 2O-1OO'ng/mL milk). PolychlorInated
blphenyls (PCBs) and DDE were found.

Five each were killed zero, one, two, three, four, six. eight,
and ten months after exposure to Aroclor had ceased. The
1ivers of these rats were examined by 1Ight and electron
microscopy. Liver lesions persisted although exposure to PCBs
ceased. Ten months after exposure ceased, 1,192 ppm PCBs were
still present in the rats' adipose tissue and 22.65 ppm in the
rat livers. Aroclor patterns found In the tissues by electron
capture gas chromatograhy differed from patterns of dietary
Aroclors. Mass spectral analysis of liver and adipose tissue
revealed three major Aroclor components with masses of 324,
358, and 392. These contained isotopic clusters indicative of
the presence of CIS. C16, and C17. respectively.

futures for the United States placed within a world context.
By exploring the uncertainty of the near-term future and
placing boundaries on 'it, the authors believe they have
provided the environmental policy planner with an important
tool for anticipating Issues and gauging the utility of
policies designed to meet them. The approach to the
construction of the alternative futures entailed the
projection of certain driving, or key, trends over the next 25
years and estimating the social, economic, and political
consequences of a varying combination of their impacts.
Certain key policy quest Ions-provided by EPA were placed in
the context of these futures and conclusions were drawn
therefrom.

Abstract: The organochromlum content of sewage sludge was
evaluated during this study. Sewage sludges containing
chromium were obtained. These sludges were analyzed to
determine total chromium and then fractionated to obtain four
chromium fractions. The fractions represented soluble
chromium, cat Ionic chromium, which was dilute acid soluble, and
alkali soluble and Insoluble fractions. The two later
fractions represent the chromium which Is associated with
humus and hum in respectively. Mixtures of the sludges were
analyzed for total and fractionated chromium. These mixtures
were then subjected to aerobic and anaerobic digestion for 3O
days. After the 30 day period the sludge mixtures were
reanalyzed. Good mass balances were obtained for both the
distribution of chromium among fractions compared with total
chromium analyses and between before and after digestion
samples. Data also was • collected from the four fractions
described earlier (for twenty-two other elements). These data
were collected for sludge mixtures both before and after
digestion studies. Comparisons were made of the distribution
of the various elements.

Abstract: An index to the literature on structure-activity
correlation methods was prepared and Is available through NTIS
(PB-240 658). A study of each of the major methods was made to
determine requirements for application to toxlclty data.
Simultaneously a study was made of available toxiclty data and
of physical-chemical properties shown to be useful in
correlation studies. These evaluations suggested that- the
structural fragments contained In chemical structures should
be considered In structure-activity relationship studies as
well as the n-octanol partition coefficients. A prototype
toxtcity data base was selected from the 1974 Toxic Substances
list for 687 compounds for which oral LD5O values were
reported in the rat or mouse. The use of discriminant and
multiple regression analyses following preliminary clustering
gave useful results, but a new extension of the method called
'substructure! analysis' was used to predict the LD5O values
in the rat. This method can readily be adapted to computer
operation, and is recommended for extension to other sets of
toxiclty data.

Abstract: Methods for the analysis of polybromlnated biphenyls
(PBBs) by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/computer
(GC/MS/COMP) were developed using a 45 cm x O.2 cm l.d. glass
column packed with 2% OV-101 coated on Gas-Chrom 0. The column
was programmed from 15O-3OOC at 2OC/m1n for the chromatography
of mono-through pentabromobIpheny1 and from 22O-3OOC at
12C/m1n for hexa- through decabromoblphenyl. Two separate
analyses were required to adequately separate the lower
Isomers and to yield definitive peaks for the higher Isomers.
A total of 8O samples were analyzed by GC/MS In the Multiple
Ion Detection (MID) mode. They contained from undetectable to
86O mlcrograms/ml of PBBs. The higher Isomers accounted for
the majority of the PBBs found. Mass spectra obtained during
GC/MS analysis of some of the more highly concentrated samples
not only confirmed the presence of PBBs, but also detected
polybromlnated biphenyl ethers and other bromlnated compounds.
Three commercial samples of decabromobipheny1 ether (C12BMOO)
were analyzed for Impurities by GC/MS using the same
conditions as for the higher PBBs. All three samples contained
C12Br9C10 in small amounts and one sample contained traces of
C12H2Br80 and C12HBr90.

Abstract: The Toxic Substances Control Act authorizes the
Environmental Protection Agency to require testing and/or use
restrictions on certain chemical substances. As a first step
In Implementing the Act, EPA Is required to compile a list
(Inventory) of chemicals manufactured. Imported or processed
In the United States. Manufacturers or Importers will be
required to submit a premanufacturIng notice.to the EPA 90
days prior to manufacture or Importation of any chemical
substance not on the list. The Act provides authority to EPA
to collect Information for administration of the Act. but also
directs the Agency to exempt small businesses from certain
reporting requirements. This report analyzes the options for a
one-time, definition of small business for the EPA's Initial
Section 8(a) reporting requirements and also provides an
estimate of the Initial reporting cost. As background, the
report also Includes a characterization of the chemical
Industry In terms of sales. employment, number of firms and
other parameters. Options for the small business definition
were selected on the basis of ease of use and relationship to
a firm's ability to bear the burden of the reporting
requirements. The Initial reporting cost estimate was prepared
by working up from a cost per chemical estimate to an
aggregated total for the industry.

Abstract: The Office of Toxic Substances of the Environmental
Protection Agency has sponsored a nationwide survey to
determine the Impact of point and non-point sources on levels
of waterborne asbestos. Part I of the final report presented
the results of analyses of water from the ten Regional cities.
Part 11 of the final report, contained herein, presents the
results of the analyses of water from natural sources and from
point sources manufacturing asbestos products. The results
described Indicate that waterborne levels of asbestos
originating from natural sources may be as high as 10 to the
8th power fibers per liter and Is subject to seasonal
variation. Where asbestos was found, fibers were usually below
5 micrometers In length. Levels of asbestos originating from
asbestos product manufacture may range from below the
detection limits of electron microscopy to values In excess of
10 to the 12th power fibers per liter. Levels of asbestos
fibers above 5 micrometers In length were found in excess of
1O to the 11th power fibers' per liter. The major Impact on the
environment due to such sources would be expected from
asbestos paper plants which combine a high fiber content with
a large effluent flow.

Abstract: Four approaches to assessing the potential for
asbestos exposure In schools were evaluated: (1) a proposed
exposure-ranking system or algorithm, (2) bulk sampling and
analysis of the asbestos-containing materials, (3) a
measurement of stimulated fiber release, and (4) air sampling.
The scoring consistency was evaluated for the factors In the
algorithm: friability and activity was scored with the least
consistency. and exposure and the presence of air-moving
systems with the most consistency. Scoring consistency
Improved with rater training. The variability In the
determination of asbestos content was found to be associated
with the laboratory analysis more so than with the sampling
process. False negatives were found to occur, even at asbestos
levels greater than 1O percent. The potential for release of
fibers by physical disturbance of the asbestos-containing
material was demonstrated with the use of a vibrator in
contact with ceilings in schools: the releasabl11ty was found
to Increase with asbestos content and friability. Only a
limited effort was devoted to air sampling. It was done for
short periods (1 hour). and the analyses were done by phase
microscopy (which detects only the fibers longer than 5
microns with an aspect ratio greater than 3:1). The airborne
fiber levels were less than O.O7 flbers/cc in all cases but
one.

Abstract: The Office of Toxic Substances of the Environmental
Protection Agency has sponsored a Nationwide survey to
determine the impact of point and non-point sources on
waterborne sources of asbestos. This survey covers both
natural sites. in which asbestos containing rocks are
prevalent, and man made sources (plants producting
asbestos-containing products). Additionally, it provides for
sampling water supplies In a number of cities and towns. This
report records the results of the analyses of water from the
ten cities housing Regional Headquarters of the Environmental
Protection Agency. These cities are: Boston, Mass.. - New
York. New York, - Philadelphia, Pa., - Atlanta, Ga. .
Chicago, 111., - Dallas, Texas, - Kansas City, Missouri,
Denver, Colorado. - San Francisco, California, and Seattle,
Washington. The determination of asbestos content was by a
transmission electron microscopic method.

Abstract: EPA has initiated a quality assurance (OA) program
for laboratories claiming capability in the polarized light
microscope (PLM) analysis of bulk samples for asbestos.
Commercial and non-commercial laboratories participating in
the program received samples of four fibrous materials:
chrysotile, anthophy11ite, fiberglass, and mineral wool.
Laboratories had difficulty identifying anthophylI 1te and two
false positives were reported for the mineral wool sample. All
laboratories properly Identified chrysotile. A performance
rating based on proper Identification of positive (asbestos)
and negative (non-asbestos) samples was scored for and
reported to the commercial laboratories. Reference reports
were sent to all participating laboratories. Continuation of
the program with future sample sets is anticipated.

Abstract: The second round of the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) voluntary quality assurance (QA) program for
commercial laboratories claiming capability In the polarized
light mlcroscopo analysis of bulk samples for asbestos was
conducted In August and September. 198O. Seventy-six
laboratories each received bulk samples of two asbesttform
minerals and two nonasbestos materials: amosite. crocldollte,
cellulose, and wollastonlte. A performance rating based on
correct classification of positive (asbestos) and negative
(nonasbestos) samples was scored for and reported to
participating laboratories. Among the inaccurate results
reported were 3 false negatives (crocldollte) and 32 false
positives (3 cellulose. 29 wollastonlte). QA program results
are made available to the laboratories, the EPA, and the
public. Continuation of the QA program with future sample sets
Is anticipated.

Abstract: Dialysis patients receive DEHP exposure from two
sources, blood stored in PVC blood bags and tubing used in
dialysis treatment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
conducted a preliminary Investigation into the suitability of
using this group for an epidemiologic study because of their
documented exposure to DEHP. As part of this assessment. the
Health and Human Services (DHHS), End Stage Renal Disease
Medical Information System (ESRD MIS) data base was evaluated
to determine its usability in the conduct of such a study. The
end stage renal disease (ESRD) patient population was found
not to constitute a viable population for an epidemioVogic
investigation to determine the health effects of DEHP
exposure. The bases for this conclusion were the complexities
of end stage renal disease and the multiple factors involved
in the treatment of the disease. In addition, the ESRD MIS
data base was found to lack the completeness, consistency, and
accuracy necessary to perform meaningful analyses other than
demographic analysis.

waxes. Importation of PCBs for these uses will be banned after
1977 by the Toxic Substances Control Act. unless exemptions
are allowed in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The
recent Directive of the Council of the European Communities
(EEC) prohibits use of PCBs and PCTs In investment casting

probably would have escaped intensive study if they had not
been mixed accidentally with animal feed preparations.
Instead, International attention was drawn to PBBs by the
state-supervised killing of over 35.OOO cattle which had been
contaminated with PBBs. Interestingly, low doses of PBBs exert
a broad spectrum of toxicological. pharmacological, and
biochemical effects despite low acute toxicity. These effects
and the Intensive bloaccumulatIon of PBBs derive from their
structure and their consequent resistance of biotransformation
and high solubility in fat. In rodents, PBBs are teratogenic,
immunosuppresslve. and potentially carcinogenic. In bovine,
rodent, and avlan species, PBBs reduce feed intake and induce
mixed function oxldases of liver microsomes. The latter effect
may be responsible for steroid level changes which underline
hormonal toxicities observed in cows, mink, rats, and
chickens. The effects of PBBs on humans are controversial, but
data suggestive of immunological, skin, and liver disorders
continue to accumulate. Concern about the clinical effects of
PBB's is heightened by the knowledge that these compounds
readily enter the fetus by crossing the placenta! barrier and
can be transferred to newborn children after extensive passage
Into breast milk.

Abstract: This document presents the findings of a study of
available wastewater management and treatment technology for
the purpose of determining toxic pollutant effluents
concentrations and daily load achievable In three industrial
categories: polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) manufacturing;
capacitor manufacturing; and transformer tnanufacturing. All
plants in the above categories have PCB discharges to either
waterways or sewage treatment plants, under normal operating
conditions. All plants have discharges to storm sewers or
directly to waterways under heavy rainfall conditions. For
scrap oils arid burnable solid wastes generated at these
plants, high temperature, controlled Incineration offers a
straightforward method of destruction, whereas scientific
landfill ing appears to be the best suited mode of disposal for
nonburnable contaminated solids. Zero discharge objectives can
be best achieved by eliminating discharge streams and
developing recycle systems. All non-contact cooling water
would be segregated, cooled, and recycled. All other
wastewater streams would be pretreated. The portion of the
pretreated water which would be used in the plant would be
treated with carbon, while the excess water would be
incinerated in a specially designed system which would allow
for energy recovery. Supporting data. rationale for the
selection of above recommended treatment technologies and
associated costs are contained in this report. Fvon some on

procedure Is designed to be used in unreasonnble-r1sk
evaluations that Include assessing new chemials for
persistence and exposure In the environment. In this
procedure, the relative Importance of the threo dominant
reaction pathways--photolysIs, reaction with OH radical, and
reaction with ozone--are first determined for each compound.
Then the products from each pathway that play a major role for
that compound are estimated using the techniques outlined In
the methods. The methods are applicable to a wide variety of
compounds; however, as the structure of the compounds differ
from the structures on which the procedures were based, the
conclusions become tentative. It Is belived, however. that
this will be a minor fraction of the cases to which It Is

Abstract: The study tabulated detailed information for most of
the original measurements of cadmium in foods published since
194O and summarizes estimates of dietary intake of cadmium in
the United States and foreign countries. Cadmium
concentrations are indicated for about 1500 individual foods
listed alphabetically and by decreasing concentration within
typical food categories. Separate compilations are provided
for foods originating in contaminated and uncontaminated areas
and for domestic and foreign products. Most foods contained
low concentrations of cadmium, generally less than O.O5O
tug/kg, wet weight. Concentrations of cadmium were greatest in
shellfish, leafy vegetables, potatoes, grain and cereal
products, and selected animal organs, particularly kidneys and
liver. Based on the tabulated data, the average dally U.S.
dietary intake appears to He within the range 3O to 50
micrograms. This estimate is 42% to 88% of the total tolerable
limit of 4OO to 5OO micrograms per week recommended by the
World Health Organization, arid leaves little room for intake
from other environmental or occupational sources.

Separate compilations are provided for foods

concentrations of cadmium, generally less than O.O5O mg/kg,
wet weight. Concentrations- of cadmium were greatest In
shellfish, leafy vegetables. potatoes, grain and cereal
products, and selected animal organs, particularly kidneys and
liver. The-use of cadmium-containing phosphate fertilizers
increased the concentration of cadmium in some, but not all,
plant foods. Diets chosen exclusively from foods produced near
point sources, or from highly contaminated soils, put users at
great risk of exceeding recommended Intake levels. No clear
pattern of concentration differences could be discerned in
foods produced In areas distant from point sources. Although
annual increases of cadmium in successive crops of certain
plant foods were documented. no temporal trend of increasing
cadmium concentrations In food is apparent in the tabulated
data, nor is there a perceptible Increase in the cadmium
content of foods due to canning or other food-processing
operations. Estimates of dietary Intake of cadmium vary
widely. Based on the tabulated data, the average daily U.S.
dietary Intake appears to lie within the range 3O to 5O mu g.

Abstract: This report considers the sources of environmental
contamination from naphthylamines. Because beta-naphthy1amlrie
Is a proven human carcinogen and there are other alternatives
to its use. it is no longer produced and consumed commercially
In the United States. However, alpha-naphthylamine, which is a
suspected carcinogen, is still manufactured for use as a
chemical intermediate for dyes and herbicides. Thus. this
'report concentrates on the commercial production and use of
alpha-naphthylamtne. Standards established by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration have controlled the
occupational exposure to alpha-naphthylamine and have also had
an impact on reducing contamination of the external
environment. The OSHA regulations, along with current Industry
practices. appear to have eliminated the release of
alpha-naphthylamine to the external environment. However, firm
conclusions on the potential release of alpha-naphthylamine
from its uses as a chemical Intermediate require effluent
monitoring data that is unavailable at this time. Further. It
is possible that an alpha-naphthylamine-derived compound could
be released to the environment and then degrade to
alpha-naphthylamine. At least two possible sources of this
type' of contamination seem possible.

Abstract: This report considers the sources of asbestos

monitoring data, and engineering assumptions were used to
estimate asbestos emissions. Chrysotile Is the more common
commercial mineral form of asbestos, although others such as
crocido lite, amosite. and anthophy111te are also commercially
Important. Asbestos is used in thousands of products Including
friction materials (brakes and clutches), asbestos-cement pipe
and sheet, roofing, paper, flooring. Insulation, packing and
gaskets, textiles, coating and paints, and plastics. The
available Information would not allow for any quantitative
estimates and rarely was an ambient level attributable to a
particular source. Exceptions were crushed serpentinite rock
containing asbestos that was used to pave roads and driveways,
demolition of buildings containing asbestos construction
material, and automotive brake linings adjacent to toll plazas
.where cars brake to a stop. Municipal incineration may also be
a potential source of significant asbestos fiber emission to
ambient air. Release of asbestos fibers from A/C pipe used for
drinking water appears to be minor, except where the water is
very aggressive.

Abstract: People who become Involved in activities requiring
exposure to pesticides should be aware of the potential
hazards Involved as a result of absorption of toxic compounds.
If a person is knowledgeable about such hazards and
understands the Importance of taking proper precautions, he
can do much to Insure the safety of himself and others.
Although illnesses resulting from over-exposure to toxic
compounds do occur among applicators and other workers, most
are a result of carelessness or accident. Experience has shown
that If proper precautionary measures are observed and
directions on the pesticide label are followed. even the more
toxic compounds can be used safely. Exposure to less toxic
compounds should not be Ignored.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to Identify the
potential sources of emission for three of the major end-use
applications of F-11, -12, -13. -113, and -114 and to identify
current and potential methods for controlling emissions from
these sources. For identified methods of control, the
efficiency of the method and the economics
were determined. In applicable areas, the
and effectiveness of new or modified
maintenance procedures were studied as
emissions. The areas of study were refrigeration and air
conditioning, plastic foam blowing agents. and cleaning and

Abstract: A qualitative and quantitative assessment of the
principal sources of phosphorus release to the environment was
performed. Natural sources were not extensively evaluated nor
were they quantified. Nonpoint sources were Identified by land
use; discharge data for specific land uses were obtained from
the literature. Point sources were estimated on the basis of
model flow diagrams and phosphorus material balances; no
measured levels were utilized. The total national phosphorus
emissions to air and water in 1978 were about 2.9 million
metric tons. Of this amount, approximately 87.6% was
attributable to nonpoint sources and 12.4% to point sources.
Major nonpoint contributors are cropland runoff and pasture
and rangeland runoff; for the major point sources, municipal
sewage treatment was the largest single contributor From the
data developed for the national emissions, a regional
assessment was performed for Florida to evaluate the
difference in phosphorus sources In regions and for the
nation. A cursory analysis was also performed of detergent
phosphate controls In Indiana and New York. The analysis
addressed surface water geography, location and nature of
phosphor-us water- quality problems, and the impact of detergent
phosphate control.

Abstract: A comprehensive data base of chemicals identified in
human biological media (tissues and body fluids) has 'been
established. Data were obtained primarily from the open
literature through manual searches (retrospective to 1974) of
the journals listed in Appendix A. The data base now contains
information on over 5OO different substances. Chemicals are
listed by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry numbers
and preferred names in Appendix B. Vor the user's convenience,
cross-referenced chemical lists of CAS names are provided in
Appendix C.. The human tissues and body fluids found to be
contaminated by these chemicals are listed in Appendix D. The
data base is published annually in two parts. Part 1 contains
introductory materials, references, appendices. Indices, and a
chemical directory. Information in Part 1 is cumulative, thus
allowing the user access to information in the previous
edition of Part 2. Data from more than one-third of the over
30OO body-burden documents collected to date have been entered
In the data base as of October 198O. The emphasis on Inputting
recent literature and significant research documents has
resulted in a chronological mix of articles from 1974 to the
present in the first two publications of the data base. (ERA

Abstract: Pretreatment of rats with gamma HCH. DDT, and DDT +
gamma HCH accelerates the metabolism of gamma HCH. A single
oral dose of 14C gamma HCH was administered to all animals
after 2 wk of pretreatment. The treated rats excreted
significantly more radioactivity and stored significantly less
14C gamma HCH than the control animals. In addition to
significantly larger livers, the treated rats exhibited higher
cytochrome P-450 content and greater 1n vitro enzyme activity
than the control animals. The self-induction of gamma HCH
metabolism, which has not previously been reported, could be
of major importance in establishing a steady-state
relationship between exposure and storage of such pesticides
by mammals. Both quantitative and qua!ttative'differences In
gamma HCH metabolism are observed between the treated groups
of rats. DDT pretreatment results in a 35% higher excretion of
radioactivity than gamma HCH pretreatment.

Abstract: Static-replacement and flow-through tests were
conducted using CUS04.5H20. 2,4.6-trIchlorophenol, and
o-cresol to determine If they gave similar LCSO's and ECSO's
for duckweed. Lemna glbba G-3. Static-replacement tests also
were conducted using ethylene glycol and dl(2-ethyIhexy1)
phthalate. Mortality, reproduction, dry weight, and root
length were used to measure effect levels of the toxicants.
LC5O's and EC5O's were calculated using quadratic regression
with log transformation of the Independent variable
(concentration) and with several different transformations for
the dependent variables. ANOVA's were used to test for
differences between the two types of tests, tests within
types, and replicates within tests. A procedure also was
provided for estimating the number of tests and replicates
necessary to obtain confidence limits within a given
percentage of the mean. Mortality and reproduction produced
the best results. The highest variation occurred among tests,
regardless of type. and the smallest variation was generally
within tests (i.e. among replicates). Therefore, the best
allocation of resources would be to replicate
static-replacement tests In time. using four replicates per
test.

Abstract: The purpose of the study is to estimate the cost of
the protocols for the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) Minimum Premarket Data (MPD). OECD is
an international organization of 24 member nations whose
membership Includes the major chemical producers of the
non-communist world. The MPD Is designed for premarket
assessment of the new chemicals in the OECD member nations.
The base set of premarketing data which EPA Is recommending Is
Identical to the MPD developed by the OECO. The protocols were
costed by first breaking them down into the various cost
components and then costing each component separately.

Abstract: This cumulative report contains 26 current awareness
documents prepared biweekly from 25 August 1975 through 9
August 1976 during the second year of a two year project. The
purpose of this project was to provide the Office of Toxic
Substances (OTS). U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with
Information on new uses of existing chemical products and with
information of obvious potential environmental concern for
both new and existing chemical products. For each biweekly
document a core list of approximately 80 journals was scanned
for information of interest to OTS on more than 3O topics
(compounds, classes of compounds, and subject areas, e.g.,
model ecosystems). Abstracts were prepared for all items
selected and these abstracts were presented biweekly under the
assigned topics. In addition, a 'General Information' section
was added to accommodate abstracts for topics not included in
the original list of scanning topics. Biweekly subject indexes
were cumulated for this annual compilation, and- an author
index was added.

Abstract: Hexachlorophane is widely used as an antibacterial
agent. It has been reported that repeated high oral doses of
hexachlorophane (25 mg per kg per day) in rats produced
paralysis and a pronounced oedema of the white-matter of the
central nervous system. To see whether hexachlorophane may be
absorbed through the Intact infant skin, its concentration In
the blood of the umbilical cord of fifty Infants and in the
blood of the same infants obtained on discharge from hosital
was determined by gas chromatography. While in the hospital
the Infants were washed several times with hexachlorophane
solutions to prevent staphylococcal Infections. The range of
hexachlorophane levels in the umbilical cord was O.O03-O.182
p.p.m. with a mean of O.O22 p.p.m., and for the blood at the
time of discharge from the hospital O.OO9-O.646 p.p.m., with a
mean of O.1O9 p.p.m. It is suggested that Infants' skin be
rinsed after the use of hexachlorophane.

Abstract: Plasma pseudocholInesterase has no known
physiological role but 1s essential for the rapid degradation
of succlnylchol1ne. a muscle relaxant used In surgical
procedures. Depression of effective enzyme concentrations as a
result of hepatocellular disease or exposure to
antIcholInesterase agents will Increase the patient's
sensitivity to succlnylcholIne and prolong postoperative
apnea. Synthesis of this enzyme Is controlled by an autosomal
gene with multiple variant alleles: Individuals phenotypically
homozygotlc for one of these variants will have either
qualitatively 'atypical' pseudocholInesterase with decreased
activity or no enzyme at all, and will thus be more sensitive
to succlnylcholIne. The automated pH stat system described
here detects atypical cholInesterase by measuring the degree
of inhibition of butyrylcholine hydrolysis by dibucaine.

Abstract: An evaluation of possible exposure to
pentachlorophenol (PCP) by residents In Madison County.
Kentucky, who had obtained ammunition crate wood treated with
PCP from the Blue Grass Army Depot was conducted. Serum and
unconjugated urine levels of PCP were determined in 51 test
cases and 47 control Individuals and. 1n 7 special cases
(residents of log homes treated with PCP). In addition, air,
food product, and wood samples collected at the residences
were analyzed for PCP residues. The results showed smllar PCP
levels In the serum and urine of the test cases and control
individuals. No PCP was detected In the air collected from
these groups' residences: and the levels of PCP exposure from
the ammunition crate wood. However, high PCP levels were found
in the serum and urine of the special cases, particularly
three young children who had PCP serum levels above 1.OOO ppb
(40 times the control Individual average). Air and wood
samples from a special case residence also contained PCP.
Thus. the special cases were being subjected to PCP exposure
and additional studies on log home residences are recommended
to define the exposure level and the possible adverse health
effects. No. hexachlorobenzene was found In any samples.

Abstract: Public Law 92-516 specifies that all Individuals who
are applicators of restricted use pesticides must meet Federal
and state certification standards by October 1977. The
Environmental Protection Agency realized that in order to meet
these requirements, a major training effort would be needed.
The vocational agriculture education programs which operate as
part of the public education system throughout the United
States were seen as an appropriate delivery system for the
preparation of both youth and adults for certification as
pesticide applicators. This report represents the final
document of a project In which a training package covering the
basic! principles of pesticide use, handling, and application
was designed, tested. and prepared for Installation in

Report on Project Safeguard: Safe Pesticide Practices.
Abstract: With the DDT ban. effective January 1, 1973, the use
of a variety of other chemicals must be increased to
substitute for DDT in the control of insects. Replacement
chemicals will probably Include among others:
organophosphates; carbamates; chlorinated hydrocarbons; and
botanicals. Chemicals replacing DDT will be less persistent In
the environment than DDT. Some replacement chemicals will be
more acutely toxic to man and, therefore, will present greater
potential hazards. An Intensive short-term educational
program. Project Safeguard, is underway to train the farmer in
the safe use of these replacement chemicals, and this program
should minimize the hazards from Improper use. The potential
still exists, however.' for an Increased incidence of toxic
exposure and rosulttng clinical illness. In which accurate
diagnosis and prompt treatment could mean the difference
between life and death.

Abstract: Food consumption habits of U.S. population are
analyzed and a determination Is made of the extent to which
fruits and vegetables are homegrown versus commercial 1y
produced. Population distributions are given for the
consumption of six food groups by both persons who consume
meat and do not consume meat. The six food groups are grains
and cereals. potatoes, leafy vegetables, legume vegetables,
root vegetables, and garden fruits. Both entire U.S.
population and 15 to 20-year-old male subpopulatIon are
studied. The six food groups comprise 441 p/person/day of the
average U.S. diet, and 564 g/person/day for the 15-20 yenr old
male. Dfetnry consumption data'are reported for percentnrie of
households having home gardens and for consumption which is
home-grown. Data are reported for urban, rural nonfarm. rural
farm, and all households. Roughly 44 percent of U.S.
households have gardens; 50 percent of these have garden areas
greater than 750 square feet. Home gardens constitute
approximately 6 million acres, approximately equivalent to the
acreage used for commercial fruit and vegetable production.
Annual value of home-grown produce Is estimated at $14
billion.

Industry associated with the Implementation of the principal
provisions of the proposed Toxic Substances Control Act
(S.776). The annual direct costs are estimated to be between
$78.5 and 141.5 million. About two-thirds of these costs are
shown to be attributable to the areas of premarket screening
and regulatory actions, with about one-third attributable to
the requirements concerning Industrial testing and reporting.

Abstract: The conclusion is that Dursban emulsion or
suspension formulations are not acceptable for use as a
premises larvicide treatment In the control of Ae. aegyptl
under the conditions now present in the United States. It Is
conceivable that Dursban could be used as a graular
formulation, at a much lower dosage as described for a
non-residual type of larvlclding or at an Intermittent or less
frequent interval without any effect on cholInesterase levels.
The findings also suggest that the use of Dursban in any
operation similar to that described previously might produce a
depression of cholInesterase levels. Therefore, on a I 1 such
control programs. careful monitoring of the cholinesterase
levels of spraymen should be included In the operation.

8(a) rule reporting commercial and industrial use of asbestos.
The economic Impacts of the proposed rule are examined for the
primary processing segment of the industry. Gross profits of
firms by size are examined and the percent Impact of the
proposed rule determined. For primary processors in the size
range of 11 to 30 employees, the economic Impact Is seen to be
roughly O.1% of gross profits. Impacts are greater for firms
of less than 10 employees but these are not required to report
under the proposed rule.

Abstract: This report presents the methodology that will be
used for analyzing the economic Impact of this and future test
rules. The methodology follows a two-stage approach. All
chemicals are subjected to a Level I Analysts. This analysis
consists of evaluating four market characteristics: demand
sensitivity. costs. Industry structure. and market
expectations. The results of the Level I analysis (along with
a consideration of the costs of the required tests) Indicate
the potential for significant adverse economic impacts. Where
the indication is negative, no further economic analysis is
required. However, for those chemical substances or groups
where the Level I analysis Indicates a potential for
significant economic impact, a more detailed and comprehensive
analysis Is conducted. This Level II analysis attempts to
predict more accurately whether or not this potential will be
realized, and. If so. its magnitude. The Level I analysis for
Chloromethane Indicates that the proposed health effects test
rule will not impose any significant economic Impact on
manufacturers of Chloromethane. For the Chlorobenzenes group.
the results of the Level I analysis Indicated that a potential
for economic Impacts exists; however. the Level II analysis-
concludes that the economic impacts are expected to be minor.

conducting pesticide research and development do not have the
opportunity to recover their expenses and make acceptable
profits on their new products. To evaluate this contention.
data on pesticide production, sales. profitability. Industry
entrances and exits, and research and development expenditures
were analyzed. These data indicated that the pesticide
Industry is economically dynamic and growing with growth
predicted to continue for the forseeable future. Value of
sales has increased fourfold during the past decade (from $O.6
billion in 1966 to $2.4 billion in 1976) and is forecast to
continue rising. In comparison to other Industries, pesticide
production was generally a high profit business. Expenditures
on pesticide research and development Increased by $107.5
million (from $87.7 million in 1971 to $195.2 million In 1976)
In a five-year period. In addition, pesticide firms continue
to expand their production capacity and the pesticide industry
still attracts firms to the industry. Consequently, it was
concluded that the industry does not need special market
protection from Congress via exclusive-use-of-data privileges.

Abstract: A series of six workshops was conducted by the
Environmental Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, to identify laboratory methods and data evaluation
techniques for predicting the environmental effects of
chemical substances. Methods were evaluated for their
potential for standardization and for use in the ecological
hazard and risk assessment processes under the Toxic
Substances Control Act. The workshops addressed assessment and
policy requirements of multispecies toxicology test
procedures. mathematical models useful in hazard and risk
assessments, and methods for measuring effects of chemicals on
terrestrial and aquatic population Interactions and ecosystem
properties. The workshops were primarily used as a mechanism
to gather Information about research In progress. This
information was part of the data base used to prepare a
critical review of laboratory methods for ecological
toxicology. (ERA citation 06:029357)

Abstract: Data collected as part of the National
Eutrophication Survey (NES) were used to test the consequences
of eight different phosphorus control options. The control
options Included detergent limitations. municipal treatment
plant control. nonpolnt source control and combinations of
tertiary sewage treatment and nonpolnt source control. The
results Indicated that although site specific studies should
be conducted for any given lake. as a general rule detergent
phosphorus control would be of marginal value. A combination
of municipal control and a sixty percent reduction In nonpoint
sources would reduce average lake phosphorus concentration
from O.O84 mg/1 to O.O29 mg/1. It was found that nonpolnt
source control was more effective In Increasing the number of
lakes with less than O.025 mg/1 of total phosphorus than was
an equivalent level of point source control.

Abstract: A survey was conducted to assess the extent of
transport of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from the New
Bedford,. MA. municipal landfill. This landfill has been used
for the disposal of PCB waste materials for many years. It is
located in a wetland area. There is evidence of transport of
PCBs In the shallow ground water to the northwest of the
landfill, but the extent of transport Is relatively minor,
being confined to near surface waters very near the landfill.
Drinking waters are unaffected. Aquatic and terrestrial
organisms in the vicinity are accumulating some PCB; however,
levels of contamination are not excessively high. There is
evidence to indicate airborne transport may be a principal
mode of movement of PCB from the landfill during the warm
months. At one time. In excess of 1.O migrogram/cu m of PCB
was detected In the ambient .air over this landfill.

soil In the environs of Industrial sites and sewage treatment
plants. Five industrial categories - chrome pigments
producers, electroplating plants, ferrochromium plants,
leather tanneries. and sodium dlchromate/chromic acid
producers - were presurveyed to select the final sampling
sites. Samples were gathered at two chrome pigment plants, an
electroplating plant, a leather tannery and two sewage
treatment plants. The protocol for sampling air utilized
high-volume samplers in either a downwind array or in a plant
perimeter geometry. Composite 24-hour water samples were taken
and soil core samples were obtained. The techniques employed
for analysis of the environmental samples were Intended to
differentiate between the two most common chromium valence
states (III and VI). This was accomplished for water samples
but not for air, soil or sediment samples because acid
digestion converted chromium (VI) to chromium (III). All
analyses were obtained on a Varlan AA-6 atomic absorption
spectrometer

Abstract: Sampling, workup and analysis methods were developed
for six B-chloroethers In air. water, soil and sediment
samples to evaluate possible environmental contamination by
this class of compounds. The six ethers were chloroethyl ethyl
ether. chloroethy1/viny1 ether, bis-(2-chloroethy1) ether,
b1s(2-ch!oroisopropyl) ether. b1s(22-chloroethoxy) methane and
b1s(2-chloroethoxy) ethane. Four types of samples were
collected near eight industrial, sites which were potential
emitters of B-chloroethers. The sites included four plants
where propylene oxide is produced via the chlorohydrin route.
One plant produced propylene chlorohydrin: one plant produced
both ethylene chlorohydrin and propylene chlorohydrin, and had
produced various B-chloroethers previously; one plant produced
Intermediates and surfactants for the textile industry; and
one plant produced polysulflde rubbers. Air samples were
collected by drawing air through Pyrex tubes packed with
Tenax-GC using personnel sampling pumps. Water samples were
collected either as grab samples or Integrated 24-hour samples
with a peristaltic pump. Soil and sediment samples were
transported in glass canning Jars. Air sampling tubes were
desorbed with methanol with a procedure developed at MRC.
Water samples were solvent extracted with methylene chloride.
Soil and sediment samples were Soxhlet extracted with
methylenp chloride. The methylene chloride extracts from the
water, soil and sediment samples were each concentrated with a
Kuderno-Danish evaporator to a volume of 2-3 ml.

Abstract: This research program was Initiated to evaluate
possible environmental contamination by polychlorInated
naphthalenes (PCNs). The program Included sampling and
analytical method development and the collection and analysis
of field samples. A glass fiber filter and two precleaned
polyurethane foam plugs 1n tandem were used for PCN
collection. Recovery of the PCNs from the foam and filter was
accomplished by triple extraction with toluene. The
concentrated extract was chromatographed on a silica gel
column and the final volume reduced to 2 ml tn a
Kuderna-Danish apparatus. Samples were analyzed by gas
chromatograph/quadrupoIe mass spectrometer/computer. The
Instrument was operated in the multiple ion detection mode
which permitted the detection of < 50 pg of a PCN Isomer
(approximately O.3 ng/cu m in air). The presence of PCNs was
confirmed from full scan mass spectra or by monitoring the
chlorine isotope ratio. Air. water, soil. sediment and biota
were collected from sites near a PCN manufacturer. and six
potential users. PCNs were found at all sites sampled although
appreciable quantities were found at only three sites. near
the manufacturer and two possible users.

Abstract: This study Is Intended to assist the Assessment
Division, Office of Testing and Evaluation of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. In the assessment of human
health risks associated with trIchloroethylene exposure. The
levels and frequency of occurrence of trIchloroethylene In the
various environmental media (air, food, and drinking water)
have been Identified. The relative contribution of each of
these sources to an Individual's total dally trIchloroethylene
uptake Is determined through an exposure/uptake approach. It
Is anticipated that such an approach In combination with other
exposure Information can be used In the support of regulatory
decision making under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Available occurrence data, although limited, Indicate a
greater persistence of trIchloroethylene In ground water than
In the atmosphere or surface water. Numerous Instances of
trIchloroethylene occurrence In drinking water (supplied by
aquifers) were cited. The suggested no adverse response level
was found to be exceeded In all situations considered above
the average value scenario. The fetus, children and those
consuming ethyl alcohol were subunlts of the general
population qualitatively Identified as hypersensitive to
trIchloroethylene.

Abstract: The present study was a preliminary attempt to
determine the feasibility of using cancer mortality data to
Indicate the carcinogenic effects of possible arsenic exposure
1n the environment. The four census tracts for which fifty
percent of the areas lay within a 3/4 mile radius of an
arsenical-producing insecticide plant were matched by such
demographic characteristics as age. race, sex. and
soc1oeconom1c status with all other similar tracts in
Baltimore City. The matching tracts were then subdivided
according to suspected differences in exposure to
environmental pollution. The lung cancer mortality was higher
for the combined tracts adjacent to the plant as compared to
the control tracts. The lung cancer mortality for the tract In
which the plant was located was three to four times higher
than in controls tracts, a difference which was significant.
The data also support a northerly gradient • in rates with
increasing distance from the plant.

pesticide levels associated with various levels of risk are
estimated. Certain precautions which must be observed in

Abstract: Prolonged, low-level exposure to inorganic arsenic
can prodiicra peripheral neuropathy in humans, and is a serious
industrial health hazard. The clinical expression of arsenic
neuropathy is similar to other toxic neuropathies of the
dying-back type. No satisfactory animal model of arsenic
neuropathy has been devised. Rats underwent weekly
intraperitoneal injections with solutions of arsenic trioxide.
Strengths of 2mg/kg, 5mg/kg, lOmg/kg and 15mg/kg were used.
The 15 mg/kg animals died shortly after receiving the
Injection. The other animals survived and. after eighteen
months. appeared normal. Histopathological study of the
peripheral and central nervous systems of these animals was
unremarkable. It appears that the rat Is not the appropriate
species for the study of inorganic arsenic neurotoxI'dty.

Abstract: There are nearly two dozen Federal statutes
governing toxic substances as well as a comparable number of
Federal agencies responsible for the research, regulatory, and
advisory provisions of these various acts. Effective
Integration of toxic substances activities requires an
awareness and comprehension of the many Federal statutes
Involved as well as an understanding of the organizational
structure and relevant activities of the agencies responsible
for Implementing these statutes. This document is an outgrowth
of the efforts on the part of the staff of EPA's Office of
Toxics Integration to develop the knowledge and expertise
needed to integrate and coordinate Federal toxic substances
regulatory activities. The scope of this first edition Is
limited to 17 offices located within 8 Federal agencies or
departments which have a primary role in the control of toxic
substances. The Information on each office Is divided into
several sections. The first section describes the organization
of the office and hlghltghts 'those divisions, branches. etc..
which are concerned with toxic substances. The second section
summarizes the statutory authority for the office and briefly

Abstract: Federal regulations governing the production and use
of asbestos and asbestos-containing materials continue to
focus their attention on the adverse health and environmental
effects of asbestos. To obtain an appreciation of the scope of
the current regulatory status of asbestos, a compilation was
made of Federal Register citations pertaining to the
regulation of asbestos by CPSC. DOT, EPA, FDA. MESA, and OSHA.
An abstract of each citation was prepared and filed
chronologically by.statutory authority within the individual
agencies. The resulting document, as presented here, provides
a condensed source of information relating to the development
of the various standards presently enforced by the agencies as
well as proposals for new or modified regulations.

Interest in just how the administration of the FIFRA Is
Impacting the industry as a whole, and particularly the small
businessmen Involved in the pesticide distribution chain. This
paper addresses this Congressional concern, and will discuss
the major Impacts of the legislation since the 1972 amendments
to date, especially those affecting the competitive atmosphere

Palmer, et al.. Economic Implications of Regulating
Chlorofluorocarbon Emissions from Nonaerosol Applications. It
serves as a detailed exposition of the data and of the methods
used to proceed from the historical data to the analysis of
policies that might reduce CFC emissions. Flexible urethane
foam plants are a significant source of CFC emissions. Each
plant represents an extremely large point source of omissions,
with hundreds of thousands of pounds of CFC-11 used and
emitted annually per facility. Either CFC recovery or
methylene chloride conversion could substantially reduce CFC
releases to the atmosphere. The use of CFC in foam products is
very sensitive to the price of CFC-11. The analysis suggests
that substantial reductions in use can be Induced by moderate
price Increases.

on 96 control workers from neighborhood Industry not involving
PBB use. The exposed workers were employed In a plant which
manufactured only bromlnated products, where 96 regular
employees had been employed since January 1973. PBB serum
level were significantly higher among the exposed group than
among the non-exposed group. An unexpectedly high prevalence
of primary hypothyroldlsm was found among the PBB workers.
Their sural sensory and peroneal motor velocities were
significantly reduced when contrasted with controls. However,
no significant dermato 1og1ca1, neurological or other adverse
health effects were clinically demonstrated.

Abstract: Acute exposure to benzene produced toxic effects on
the central nervous system; however. In order to evaluate the
chronic effects, consideration must be given to the myelotoxlc
and possible chromosome-damaging and leukemogenlc effects of
benzene. Most cases of severe benzene Intoxication have been
reported In workers exposed to rather high concentrations of
benzene under somewhat unhygienic working conditions. It has
been suggested that 'benzene-Induced leukemia' may occur only
in Individuals who are highly sensitive because of genetic
constitution or because of synerglstlc action of other
chemical or physical environmental agents. A co-loukemogenlc
role for benzene would explain the failure to Induce leukemia
In benzene-exposed animals. Based on available literature, 1t
can be concluded that benzene may be associated with leukemia.
therefore, benzene must be considered a suspect leukemogen.
Aplastlc anemia associated with benzene exposure may well
represent the most significant health hazard.

Induction of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase and hepatic
porphyrla in mice. There was a 2,OOO-fold Increase in the
liver content of 8- and 7-carboxyporphyrIns. A single lethal
oral dose of 15O micrograms/kg 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodlbenzo-p-d-
ioxin also resulted in a 4,OOO-fold Increase In 'uroporphyrins
In the liver. Ooses of tetrachlorofibenzo-p-dloxin which
resulted In porphyrla also resulted in microscopic evidence of
marked liver damage and a moderate Increase In the total iron
content of the liver. At this time, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenz-
o-p-dioxin, a contaminant of a variety of envlronmenal
chemicals, is the most potent porphyrogenlc chemical known.

Interpretation and quantified using GC-FID peak area

of which 33 are priority pollutants. Generally, industrial
effluents contained few priority pollutants. Most of the
components found In the effluents were specific for a
particular Industrial site and did not appear In reoccurrlng
patterns. The data suggest that many possible environmentally
Important compounds would be overlooked If frequency of
occurrence 1s the major criterion for determining
environmentally significant compounds. The authors recommend
that future studies concentrate on basic compound analyses and
that the biological activity of a compound(s) be established
first before exhaustive screening programs are initiated for
environmental pollutants. Mass spectral data bases containing
all the organic compounds produced by Industry should be
developed.

Abstract: This report reviews the potential environmental
hazard from the commercial use of haloether compounds. The
fluorinated anesthetic ethers, methoxyfurane (2,2-dichloro-1,-
1-difluoroethy1 methyl ether) and fluroxene (2.2.2-trifluoroe-
thyl vinyl ether), are only peripherally treated. Major focus
is on the alpha-chloroethers, bis(chloromethy1)-ether and
chloromethyl methyl ether, and the beta-chloroethers,
b1s{2-chloroisopropy1)-ether, b1s(2-chloroethy1)ether, and
bis( 2-ch)oroethoxy) trie thane. The alpha-chloroethers are used as
chemical Intermediates for production of ion exchange resins
while the beta-chloroethers are used mostly for solvents but
have some chemical intermediate uses. Specific topics
discussed include the following: Physical and chemical data;
Environmental exposure factors - (Production and consumption,
uses, environmental contamination potential. current handling
practices and control technology, monitoring and analysis);
Health and environmental effects - (environmental effect,
biology, toxicity - humans, toxicity - birds and mammals,
toxicity - invertebrates, phytotoxicity, toxicity
microorganisms); Regulations and standards - (current
regulations, concensus and similar standards); summary and
conclusions.

Abstract: This report reviews the potential environmental
hazards of formaldehyde resulting from Hs manufacture. use.
production from combustion processes and Inadvertent
production In the environment. Nascent sources of
formaldehyde. such as paraformaldehyde, trloxane and
hexamethylenetetramlne, are also reviewed. The major source of
atmospheric discharge of formaldehyde is combustion processes,
specifically from automobile emissions. Formaldehyde is also a
product of atmospheric photooxidation of hydrocarbons emitted
from automobiles. Photochemical degradation of formaldehyde
also occurs in the atmosphere. Formaldehyde is a mutagen is
lower animals such as Drosophila and bacteria. This property
Is the basis of its use as a fumigant. Even though
formaldehyde is a strong alkylatlng agent. Information to date
Indicates that it is not mutagenic or carcinogenic In mammals,
probably due to the mammalian body's ability to repair this
type of nucleic acid damage. Formaldehyde Is an allergen. It
Is also highly toxic In low concentrations causing eye and
lung damage and affecting the central nervous system. However,
formaldehyde is also a metabolite In. biological systems and
can be efficiently metabolized to formic acid, carbon dioxide
and water, or utilized in the one carbon pool.

Abstract: The report reviews the potential environmental
hazard from the commercial use of the monohalomethanes.
Chloro-, bromo-. and lodomethane are produced in commercially
significant quantities; fluoromethane is produced in small
amounts for use as a laboratory research reagent. The sea is a
natural source of all monohalomethanes except fluoromethane.
Chi oromethane is used mainly for the production of sllicones
and tetramethyl lead (a gasoline additive). Bromomethane is
used principally as a fumigant for soil, enclosed areas, and
food products. lodomethane Is used as a laboratory and
commercial alkylatlng agent and In tungsten-halogen lamps; the
latter use Is shared with chloro- and bromomethane.
Information on physical and chemical properties, production

Abstract: The report is a survey and summary of the literature
on aerylonitrile. Major aspects of its biological effects,
environmental exposure, chemistry, production and use, and
regulations are reviewed and assessed. Aerylonitrile is used
In a wide variety of plastics, fibers, and elastomers. About
1.5 billion pounds of aerylonitrile are produced annually by
the reaction of propylene, air, and ammonia. Low levels of
acrylonitrile enter the environment during production,
storage, end-product manufacture and end-use. although
extensive monitoring data are not available. Recent evidence
shows acrylonitrile to be carcinogenic In animals and possibly
carcinogenic in humans. It resulted in birth defects when fed
to pregnant rats and caused mutations In some type of
bacteria. Short-term exposure to humans causes headache, mucus
membrane irritation. dizziness, vomiting and incoordlnation.
Several fatalities have resulted from fumtgant use. Direct
skin contact produces blisters resembling second-degree burns.
In laboratory mammals, signs of aerylonitr1le Intoxication
Include altered breathing, Incoordlnation, weakness,
convulsions, and coma.

Abstract: The report Is a survey and summary of the literature
on butadiene and Its ollgomers. Major aspects of their
biological effects. environmental exposure, chemistry.
production and use, and regulations are reviewed and assessed.
Butadiene Is a reactive gas used primarily In the production
of rubbers and resins; over 3 billion pounds are produced
annually In the U.S. Among other reactions. It undergoes
self-condensatIon to form cyclic ollgomers. such as
4-vinyIcyclohexene, 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene, and I,5-cyclooct-
adlene. The latter Is used primarily as a precursor to nylon;
the other ollgomers are less Important commercially.
VlnyIcyclohexene, however. Is a contaminant in butadiene.
Limited monitoring data Indicate that low levels of butadiene
enter the environment during production, end-use, storage and
transport; it has been Identified as a minor constituent of
urban air and gasoline. The high degree of chemical reactivity
of butadiene precludes environmental persistence. In humans,
exposure to butadiene vapor may result In lethargy and
drowsiness, as well as irritation to the eyes and mucous
membranes. There have been no reports in the U.S. or Western
Europe of long-term effects of butadiene arising from
occupational exposure. Poorly documented cases of
gastrointestinal tract, and circulatory and nervous system
disorders have been reported In Russian synthetic rubber
workers; butadiene has been implicated as a cnusltive factor
Butadiene Intoxication may cause narcosis in .laboratory
mammals; few adverse effects have been reported for chronic
exposures. Few toxic)ty data are available for the ollgomers.

Abstract: This report reviews aspects of production, use,
environmental exposure and biological effects of ethylene
glycol, two isomers of propylene glycol (1,2- and
1.3-propanediol) and four isomers of butylene glycol (1,3-,
1,4-, 2.3-, and 1,2- butanediol). Annual production of
ethylene glycol is about 3.7 billion pounds for use primarily
In antifreeze and polyester fiber. About O.5 billion pounds of
1,2-propanediol are produced per year for use In polyester
resins, food, Pharmaceuticals, and cellophane. Annual domestic
demand for 1,4-butanedlol is about O.2 billion pounds for use
In the production of tetra-hydrofuran and acetylenic
chemicals. The other title glycols are of less importance
commercially. The major source of environmental contamination
by ethylene glycol and 1,2-propanediol is likely from the
disposal of spent antifreeze and de-icing fluids. However,
limited monitoring data make it difficult to adequately, assess
environmental exposure to the glycols. The glycols are capable
of being degraded by a variety of acclimated and unacclimated
soil, water, and sewage microorganisms. In humans, ethylene
glycol intoxication, usually as a result of accidental
Ingest Ion of antifreeze, may result in nausea, hypertension,
tachycardia, cardiopulmonary failure. renal Impairment, coma
and death. 1,2-Propanediol is a GRAS food additive of low
toxicity. 1,3-Butanedlol has been studied as a source of
dietary energy. Few studies are available on 1,2-, 2,3- and
1,4-butanediol or on 1,3-propanediol.

Abstract: Three commodities, fresh market oranges, processing
tomatoes and clIng peaches were assessed concerning the role
of pest related (largely Insect) quality standards and their
relationship to pesticide usage. In each of the commodities
cosmetic quality standards appear to have a significant effect
on pesticide usage, both In regard to the amount of chemicals
used and the utilization of specific pesticides and In regard
to the general approach to pest management. In general,
extremely strict quality standards seem to mitigate against
the adoption of Integrated pest management (IPM). Growers are
reluctant to adopt such programs because they are forced by
processor. marketer and consumer pressures to strive for
virtual 'zero' pest levels. This Is a major reason why
available IPM programs which maintain crop quality and yield
while reducing pesticide usage up to 5O percent are hardly
used by the growers of the three crops, assessed in this study.

Abstract: This study is a comprehensive. multIdlsclplInary
review 'of the health and environmental effects of
1,2-dfchloroethane. Other pertinent aspects such as
production, use, methods of analysis, and regulatory
restrictions are also discussed. Approximately 25O references
are cited. 1.2-Dichloroethane Is manufactured In greater
tonnage than any other chlorinated organic compound: in 1977
nearly 5 million metric tons was synthesized In the United
States. It is used primarily as a raw material In the
production of vinyl chloride monomer and a few other
chlorinated organic compounds. The environment Is exposed to
this chlorinated hydrocarbon primarily through manufacturing
losses. Smaller exposures occur through dispersive uses. such
as grain fumigations and application of paints and other
coatings, and through storage, distribution. and waste
disposal operations. Concentrations of 1.2-dlchloroethane In
environmental air and water distant from point sources are
small--on the order of parts per billion or less.
Concentrations In the environment near point sources are
unknown. 1,2-DIchloroethane is toxic to humans. other

Abstract: This Interim report covers a study of excess
mortality from cancer In the population residing near a
chemical plant in Baltimore which had produced insecticides
for 75 years. Cancer deaths were examined for a five and nine
year period surrounding census years to determine not only the
absolute mortality but the changing trends. Four index census
tracts Including the one containing the plant were selected
based on the requirement that at least 5O percent of the area
lay within a three-quarter mile radius of the plant.
Comparison tracts were selected based on matching the index
tracts by age. sex. and socio-economic status. Employee deaths
were subtracted. The lung cancer death rate on an age adjusted
basis had been found to be significantly higher in the census
tract containing the plant. It had been rising rapidly since
the mid-sixties. A study of the validation of hospital records
and the pathology of cancer cases Indicates that the excess
risk of lung cancer represents a real risk In mortality and Is
not the rpsult of local diagnostic and certification
practices. A corollary study of soil arsenic Indicated highest
levels In the tract with Increased lung cancer mortality. The
pattern of high soil levels appeared to be related to rail
transport of the arsenical material. Further research Is
required to determine whether other factors may play a role in
the excess of lung cancer.

Industries; therefore, a measurement
are often attached to
the primary asbestos
of Fe304 could help
in
determine the amount of asbestos In the lungs of workers
these Industries. As a first assessment of this method of
determining retained dust, magnetic measurements were made of
the amount of Fe304 In the lungs of 115 miners and millers of
chrysotile asbestos. The performance of these measurements at
an Industrial site was found to be feasible and practical. A
relatively large amount of Fe304 was seen In the lungs of
those with welding experience, which masked the Fe304
contributed by asbestos, therefore this group was considered
separately. For the remainder (non-welders), the amount of
Fe304 was plotted against a total dust exposure Index which
was available for each Individual. The correlation between
these quantities was not high, but was statistically
significant at the O.O1 level. For the non-smokers within that
group, the correlation was higher and the amount of Fe304 was
relatively greater These results suggest that the magnetic
measurement of a chrysotlle miner and miller reflects. at
least to some extent, the amount of asbestos in his lung; the
scatter could be due to Individual differences in deposition
and clearance, to which this measurement should be sensitive.
These results are also consistent with the possibility that
less dust Is deposited or retained In smokers than in
non-smokers.

Abstract: A Level II materials balance was performed on
benzene. Data are reported for benzene production from
petroleum by four processes (catalytic reformation. toluene
dealkylatIon. toluene disproportionation, and isolation from
pyrolysls gasoline) for production from coal during coking.
Amounts of benzene consumed for the synthesis of eight direct
derivatives (ethylbenzene, cumene. cyclohexane. nitrobenzene.
maleic anhydride, mono- and dichlorobenzene, alky I benzenes,
and blphenyl) and exports are presented. These uses constitute
approximately 99 percent of total benzene usage.
Nonconsumptive uses (solvents and pesticide component) are
also tabulated. Releases due to each of the above processes
are reported or estimated where possible using published and
unpublished data. In addition, releases due to indirect
production (refinery operation, coke oven operations. oil
splVls. non-ferrous metals manufacturing, ore mining, wood
processing, coal mining, and two phases of the textile
fhdustry) are presented. Production of benzene as a component
of gasoline and releases due to all phases of gasoline use are
estimated. Locations of sites with high levels of benzene
releases due to production and use are tabulated: the major
'hotspots' are Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Houston/Gal veston,
Texas; Midland. Michigan; and Puerto Rico. The uncertainty
ranges of all numbers used or derived In this report are

Abstract: The purpose of the Level I materials balance for
Chlorobenzenes is to evaluate the sources of release of the
various chlorinated benzenes to the environment. The major
route of commercial production of chlorinated benzenes is the
direct chlorInation of benzene with chlorine. Chlorinated
benzenes are Indirectly produced through the metabolism of
pesticides, their production by marsh grass nnd their
production as a byproduct of organic chemical production
processes. Chlorinated benzenes are used consumptively In the
production of many organic chemicals. These include
chloronltrobenzene, diphenyl oxide, DDT, 3,4-dichloroani1ine,
2,5-dichlorophenol, pentachloronltrobenzene, rubber intermedi-
ates, dyes, pesticides, and aromatic fluorocarbons. In
addition, chlorinated benzenes have many nonconsumpt1ve uses.
Including use as a solvent, pesticide, deodorizer, dielectric
fluid, coolant, lubricant, heat transfer medium, and synthetic
transformer oil. The major sources of release of chlorinated
benzenes to the environment appear to be from their various
non-consumptive uses. Releases from production and consumptive.
uses appear to be comparatively minor

Abstract: The processes for and losses resulting from the
manufacture of dyes and pigments are presented. Consumption
profiles and estimated losses are summarized for
blsazoblpheny1 (BAB) dyes In the textile, leather, and paper
Industries and for pigments in the rubber, plastics, printing
Ink, textile printing, and coatings Industries. During dye
production. losses occur In by-products, process venting,
process losses, product filtration. and transfer and handling
of solid dyes. For 1978, about 80% of the total BAB dye used
in the textile, paper, and leather industries was Incorporated
into the final product and 2O% was lost to solid waste or
wastewater. Losses In wastewater were about 50% greater than
In solid waste. During pigment production. losses result from
soluble by-products and handling and transfer losses. In 1978,
estimated total losses due to handling and transfer of
pigments during production were 190,000 to 558,OOO Ib. The
printing Ink industry consumed the majority of the total
pigment production. In 1978. about 75% of the total pigment
used In the five industries was Incorporated Into the final
product and 25% was lost to wastewater or solid waste.
Essentially all of the pigment loss was as solid waste? with
very small quantities In wastewater.

Abstract: The purpose of the Level I materials balance for
2,4-Diaminotoluene Is to evaluate the sources of release of
2,4-DAT to the environment. 2,4-Diaminotoluene Is produced
commercially for use In the manufacture of 2,4-toluene
diisocyanate and dyes. 2,4-Toluene dllsocyanate (2,4-TDI)
production is estimated to account for 99% of 2,4-DAT use.
2.4-Toluene diisocyanate is commercially manufactured for use
In the production of urethane products, mainly polyurethane
foams. 2,4-Dlaminotoluene is produced directly through Its
manufacture and indirectly through the hydrolysis of P.4-TDI
and polyurethane foams, the metabolism of 2,4-din1trotoluene,
and the degradation of dyes. Small quantities of 2,4-DAT are
Imported into the U.S. directly and as a contaminant in
2,4-DAT-contaIning dyes. The major sources of release of
2,4-DAT to the environment' are 2,4-DAT manufacture and 2.4-TDI
hydrolysis. Minor sources of release are TDI production, the
use of polyurethane foams, dye production and use, the import
of 2,4-DAT and the export of^TDI. Releases of 2,4-DAT appear
to be greatest in areas of West Virginia and Louisiana. Of the
196,OOO kkg of 2,4-DAT estimated to have been produced In
1977, greater than 1O.6OO kkg (5.4%) Is estimated to have been
released to the environment during that year.

used to select the participants In the two study, geographical
sites. Harris County, TX and St. Louis, MO plus parts of Wood
River, Roxana, South Roxana and Hartford, IL. Benzene levels
were measured for the air and water environmental exposure for
each participant and the benzene body-burden was measured
through breath levels and, in a subsample, blood levels. A
pretest of occupationally exposed and non-exposed individuals
was used to test analytical methodology and the concept of
breath as an Indicator of body-burden. The -blood benzene
levels expected and observed required analytical methods
capable of measuring - 1 mlcrograms/L or below. This
methodology did not exist and had to be developed for the
pretest and pilot study. Benzene levels for smokers and
non-smokers were compared In the pretest. The range of. air
benzene levels found in the Harris County study (49
participants) was 2 to 45 micrograms/cu m with a weighted
means of 16.1 micrograms/cu m; breath levels ranged from O to
14 micrograms/cu m with a weighted mean of 2.9 mIcrograms/cu
m. In the St. Louis (68 participants) study the range of air
benzene levels was 3 to 125 micrograms/cu m with a weighted
mean of 26.8 micrograms/cu m: breath levels ranged from 1 to
26 micrograms/cu m with a weighted mean of 8.5 micrograms/cu
m.

Mirex Special Study was undertaken in 1975 by the National
Human Monitoring Program in an attempt to obtain information
about the prevalence and levels of Mirex in human adipose
tissues in areas of Mirex application. A sample of human
adipose tissue specimens was selected from Mirex treated areas
In eight southern States. Detectable' levels of Mirex were
found in 141 of 624 human adipose tissue specimens in the
sample. The data were analyzed with respect to three
demographic variables (race, age, and sex) and two geographic
variables (Census Division and State). Geographic divisions
appear to be the most salient factors in levels of
concentration of Mirex In the sample studied.

2O. 10O. 50O and 1.OOO ppm in their diet. Rats received the
dietary levels for eight months. Light microscopic changes
consisted of hypertrophy of the liver cells. Inclusions in the
cytoplasm, brown pigment In Kupffer cells, 1Ipid accumulation,
and, at the higher dietary levels, adenofibrosis.
Ultrastructural changes of the livers of exposed animals
consisted of an increase in smooth endoplasmic reticulum and
atypical mitochondria. Lipid vacuoles were occasionally
surrounded by concentric membranes. The epithelial component
of adenofibrosis consisted of goblet cells and cells that
resembled the epithelium which lines the bile ducts. In
general, the effect of Aroclor 1254 on the liver was more
pronounced than that of Aroclor 126O.

mercury in the environment is also discussed. Higher than
ambiorit levels of mercury are found near mercury mines,
geothermal steam fields, power plants, incinerators, sewage
treatment plants'-, some industrialized areas, and indoors where
mercury is used. The release of mercury from n.itural sources
to air and water is double the man-related losses to these
media.- The levels of mercury in biota are variable, depending
on food habits and environmental conditions. The highest
levels occur in animals at the top of the trophic structure.
Mercury levels in tissues of humans are elevated in
chlor-alkali industry workers, in dentists. in people from
areas with natural mercury deposits, and in urban populations
as compared with the rural.

Abstract: This report discusses environmental levels of
methyl chloroform (MC) based on a review of the literature and
other Information sources. The concentrations of MC In the
U.S. atmosphere ranges from about O.1 mlcrograms/cu m (2O ppt)
In remote areas to over 50O mlcrograms/cu m (100 ppb) In some
areas near where the substance Is manufactured or used. The
concentration drops off rapidly as one moves away from a
source facility. Surface water contamination of MC range from
somewhat less than 1 ppb to several hundred ppb in the
vicinity of MC manufacturers. The highest measurement reported
(3 ppm) was made in a roadside ditch near a producer site. MC
has been detected but not quantified In U.S. drinking water
except in one case when approximately 1O ppb was reported.
Soil and sediment concentrations of MC appear to be no higher
near manufacturers and users than in rural areas. though the
data are very limited. The levels are on the order of
fractions of a ppb. MC Is a saturated chlorinated hydrocarbon
which Is relatively stable In the atmosphere. However, the
molecule Is susceptible to hydrolysis or dehydrohalogenatlon
and reacts with water relatively rapidly and Is thus degraded
In soil and water. There are very few data on presence of MC
In food raised and sold In the U.S. However, data from the
"United Kingdom suggest that MC Is found on the order of parts
per billion In some common foodstuffs. There is little
evidence to judge whether MC accumulates In living organisms.
Limited data on levels In marine organisms show levels on the
order of a few parts per billion.

surface and ground waters. drinking water, sediments. soil,
sludgo. terrestrial and aquatic biota, and man. The behavior
of cadmium in the environment is also discussed. Although
cadmium is prespnt in measurable quantities In virtually all
areas, for the general population oral ingestion in foods can
represent the most Important source of cadmium intake.
Airborne sources appear to constitute a significant portion of
cadmium intake for those occupational1y exposed or those
residing in areas heavily polluted by cadmium-emitting
industries. Based on the information in this document, current
cadmium releases to the environment appear to be declining.
However. the cadmium content in fossil fuels and fertilizers
Is only partially controllable, and these two sources may set
the lower bounds of attainable mintmums in cadmium emissions
to the environment. Most of the dissipated cadmium eventually
becomes bound to soil, sediment, and ocean sinks. Biological
accumulations of cadmium are found in most living organisms.

Abstract: The purposes of the study were: to use hospital
patient records to develop accurate and reliable data on the
magnitude and character of hospital-admitted poisoning cases,
and to develop for the first time nationwide incidence rates
for hospitalized acute pesticide poisoning cases among those
persons admitted to general-care hospitals. The study design
omitted victims of undiagnosed pesticide poisoning,
emergency-room patients who are not assigned a hospital bed,
and patients treated by physicians outside the hospital
environment. Acute poisonings by pesticides are a continuing
problem in the United States. All pesticides are considered
toxic and can cause illness or even death when misused. The
toxicity of a pesticide, route of exposure, or formulation, as
well as the age, sex, race, and physical and/or mental health
status of the user may play an Important role in resulting
morbidity or mortality.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to collect informaton
about 34 large volume Industrial organic solvents and to
organize the information in a useful manner. Production,
consumption, use, exposure and toxicological data collected
were used to categorize and rank the solvents. Exposure and
inhalation toxicity data were analyzed to provide indicators
of solvents posing the greatest risk. The study concluded that
twelve of the solvents studied may pose a potential risk.
Further study of these solvents was recommended. The study
also recommended that information regarding dermal absorption
of potentially toxic chemicals be found in the literature or
generated in the laboratory. Additionally, the study
recommended that the Office of Toxic Substances consider a
pilot program to assess the utility of future in-depth
searches of the open literature. The study also recommended
that Threshold Limit Values (TLV's) be established for
solvents not already assigned TLV'S. Each solvent in the study
was grouped according to use and basic chemical structure.
Information about each solvent was listed in a series of 39
use category tables and 16 chemical structural category
tables. Solvents were ranked according to totnl annual
production and consumption, annual consumption as a solvent,
inhalation and ingest ion toxicity, and exposure potential.

Abstract: The sources, distribution, and losses of PCBs In the
U.S. pulp and paper industry are discussed in detail. The
major source of PCBs to the industry is recycled carbonless
copy paper manufactured from 1957 to 1971, but the amounts of
PCBs from this source diminished rapidly after 1971. A model
showing past and projected PCBs content in product and
Uastewaters from the Industry is presented and discussed.
Estimated costs (worst-case basis) for wastewater treatment to
achieve one ppb PCBs in effluents from the industry are
developed; results indicate a 3 to 5 percent product cost
Increase will result from such treatment.

Abstract: This data report Is a summary of Fiscal Year 197O
results of the National Soils Monitoring Program. It includes
data on pesticide applications. soil residues, and crop
residues collected from 1,506 cropland sites In 35 States.
Pesticide application data are summarized by all sites and by
State. Soil residue data are itemized similarly, but also
Include data by cropping region. Tables generally give the
number of sites. number of times a pesticide was applied or
detected, percent occurrence, arithmetic mean application rate
or residue level, and range of residues detected. Pesticides
applied most frequently were atrazine, 2,4-D, captan. and

Abstract: The survey utilized gathered data from the
agricultural area, utilities, federal, and state governmental
agencies. and estimates from leading pest control operators.
The objectives of the survey were to provide a reliable
pattern of use and an inventory of the pesticides disbursed to
the environment, to serve economic, health. and ecologlc
purposes. Nine hundred and three million pounds of all type
pesticides were reported In this survey of the l/nI ted States
for 1974. Almost 947. of this was In agriculture, with 3.5% In
government, and 2.5% in industry sectors. The greatest use of
pesticides occurred in the Southeastern and mid-southern
states. Low use areas were in the Northeastern part of the
Uni ted States.

Abstract: Total mercury levels were determined fn human
tissues taken at autopsy from six hospitals In the three basic
geographical areas of Idaho. Of the 242 specimens analyzed, 76
percent contained detectable mercury. Levels were compared
with respect to the age. sex. and geographic residence of
autopsied Individuals. Mean levels detected were 1.O4 ppm In
kidney tissue. O.34 ppm In liver, and O.O8 ppm In brain. Mean
mercury levels for the three geographical areas were:
southeastern Idaho. O.22 ppm; southwestern Idaho. 0.80 ppm;
and'northern Idaho. O.43 ppm. The relatively high means In
southwestern Idaho specimens may be related to the
preponderance of natural cinnabar deposits In that portion of
the State. Mercury levels were higher In women than men for
all tissues 1n both the southwestern and northern areas. but
the reverse was true In the southeast. Data were compared with
findings of other Investigators In an attempt to arrive at
background levels of total mercury residues In human tissues.

Abstract: Data gathered from monitoring activities indicate
the widespread occurrence of PCB's In surface waters and
bottom sediments of the major drainage basins of the United
States. A preliminary assessment of PCB levels shows median
residue levels of the positive detections for the years 1971
to 1974 ranging between O.I to 3.O micrograms/1 for unfiItered
water samples and from 1.2 to 16O.O microgrants/kg for bottom
sediments. The highest levels were found in basins east of the
Mississippi and bottom sediments may contain concentrations of
PCB's many times higher than those in the overlying water.

Abstract: Ninety industrial chemicals. Illustrative of 16
major classes and 19 structural sub-categories have been
reviewed primarily In terms of their reported ca.rc 1 nogen 1 c i ty
and/or mutagenlclty. The compounds were selected based on
factors Including: their reported carclnogenlclty and/or
mutagenlclty, their chemical structures and relationships to
known carcinogens or mutagens, their volume or use
characteristics, and suggested or estimated potential
populations at risk. Additionally, germane aspects (where
known) of their synthesis (primarily in terms of the nature of
the possible hazardous trace impurities). use patterns,
chemical and biological reactivity and stability,
environmental occurrence and metabolic fate have been Included
for cohesivcness of treatment. It is Important to note that in
52 of the above cases, both carcinogenicity and mutagenicity
of Individual compounds were reported. Thirty-one compounds
have been reported to be mutagenic and noncarclnogenic and
seven compounds are carcinogenic and nonmutagenic. In a number
of cases, there are no reports of a compound having been
tested for carcinogenicity or mutagenicity or they are
currently on test. In some cases, conflicting carcinogenicity
and/or mutagenicity results for the same compound were
reported. The largest number of industrial agents that have
been reported to be carcinogenic and/or mutagenic are
alkylatlng and acylatlng agents classified under 12 structural
headings.

Abstract: A number of alternatives for pre-screening chemicals
for their potential to Inflict environmental hazards were
considered. A system design concept which takes Into account
both the toxiclty of the chemical and the eventual levels
which It can be expected to reach 1n the environment was
selected for further analysis. Although neither toxiclty ndr
eventual levels can be predicted with great accuracy, the
accuracy attainable by simple methods appeared adequate for
selecting and prioritizing chemicals for additional
Investigation. A specific design which relies on data which is
usually available was developed to the point of testing the
feasibility of collecting the necessary data and performing
the required computations on five chemicals.

Abstract: Ihe environmental scoring of chemicals is viewed by
the US Environmental Protection Agency as a tool to assist 1n
the ratiking or ordering of the universe of chemicals that are
under the jurisdiction of the Toxic Substances Control Act.
The purpose of scoring Is to identify most of the chemicals
that have a high probability for requiring review for
regulation or testing. This report describes a three-day
workshop held in Washington, DC, August 13 to 15, 1979. to
develop an environmental scoring system. Initial discussions
centered on the determination of a safety factor (calculated
as the concentration at which an effect is observed divided by
envlrdnmental concentration) that would allow a numerical
score to be assigned to a chemical to reflect Its potential
hazard. Further discussion, however. Indicated that the
environmental concentration of a chemical Is usually not
available and that the estimation of an environmental
concentration is not readily accomplished; therefore. a
scoring system was developed that does not require
environmental concentrations. This system relates
environmental exposure to toxlcity by using a multiplier (3x,
2x, or 1x) which is assigned on the basis of the concentration
xt which an effect Is observed. The applicability of the
scoring system is demonstrated by scoring selected chemicals.

Abstract: The publication compiles the proceedings of the
Workshop on Alternatives for Cadmium Electroplating in Metal
Finishing held October 4-6, 1977 which was jointly sponsored
by seven Federal agencies. The workshop was prompted by the
concerns of government agengies for the potential
environmental damage resulting from current cadmium
electroplating practices and the high rate of government use
of electrodepositod cadmium. The workshop examined techniques
and alternatives to minimize the environmental losses of
cadmium from electroplating by (a) applying cadmium by
mechanisms that reduce the loss of cadmium during plating and
(b) developing suitable and cost-effective alternative
materials, methods, and coatings. The workshop included
presentations on the Federal and Industrial concerns for the
commercial significance, environmental effects, and health
effects of cadmium. Panel discussions reviewed the topics 'Are
specifications and standards barriers to change' mid 'How
essential is electrodeposited cadmium'.

biochemical Inhibitory processes have been shown to be
involved in herbicide modes-of-act Ion. These are: (1)
mltochondrlal respiration, or electron transport, in plant
species; (2) protein synthesis controlled by DNA-dependent
RNA; (3) photosynthesis. The ultimate goal of the project is
to develop a method so as to identify and quantify the
simultaneous occurrence of these types of Inhibition In plant
cells when exposed to herbicides and plant growth regulating
pesticides. The method will also Identify and quantify plant
physiological and morphological changes 1n affected cells and
relate these findings to types of inhibition of biochemical

Abstract: This guideline delineates test procedures to
evaluate the toxicity of liquids, solids. aerosols, and
liquids propelled under pressure, to ocular tissues of
laboratory animals. The test should demonstrate the potential
of a substance to produce injury to the human eye. For humane
reasons, substances known to be corrosive may be assumed to be
eye irritants and should not be tested in the eye.
Furthermore, substances shown to be severe irritants in dermal
toxicity tests may be assumed to be eye irritants and need not
be tested in the eye.

Abstract: This guideline Is designed for use in acute
Ingestlon tests using rodents, but Is adaptable to other
species. Although several accepted methods for determining
LD5O values have been developed. many Important determinants
of toxlclty are not represented either by these values or
slopes of dose-response curves for lethality. These
determinants are integral to an evaluation of acute toxlcity
and should be observed during the course of an acute toxicity
study. Site and mechanism of action, early or delayed death,
and recovery rate may be better Indices of toxlclty and hazard
than LD5O values per se. Morbidity and/or pathogenests may
have more toxicological significance than mortality.

Abstract: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
requires manufacturers and Importers to notify EPA 9O 'days
before they manufacture or Import a new chemical substance.
New substances are those that are not on the TSCA Chemical
Substance Inventory. which was first published on June 1,
1979. and supplemented on July 3O, 198O. by a Revised
Inventory. EPA proposed regulations to Implement section 5
requirements and to establish premanufacture notice and review
procedures In the Federal Register of January 1O, 1979 (44 FR
2242). October 16. 1979 (44 FR 59764). and August 15. 198O (45
FR 54642). In this draft Regulatory Analysis, EPA explains the
rationale for its proposal. The Regulatory Analysis also
discusses the major Issues raised by the proposed rules and
describes the different alternatives the Agency considered for
resolving the issues. The analysis Is in part based on the
proposed 'Economic Impact Analysis of Proposed Section 5
Notice Requirements,' prepared by ICF Incorporated of
Washington, DC.

Abstract: The feasibility of remotely monitoring the

different amounts of NO. Radiant energy emitted by the

one of the gas-filter cells or through a neutral
filter By comparing the amounts of energy received
each of. the filters. it is possible to determine the
concentration of NO in the presence of a moderate amount of
continuum-emitting material such as small particles. A simple,
single-line spectral model served as the basis for the
analytical work. Heated cells containing NO + N2 or M20 + N2
simulated .in industrial stack for the laboratory experiments.
Interference by hot H20 in the effluent and cold H20 in the
atmospheric path causes the most serious uncertainties in the
measurements for many types of stacks.

The EPA study Includes several regulatory strategies to reduce
CFC emissions, namely. (1) direct regulation. (2) economic
Incentives and (3) a conservation program. Because CFC
emissions In any country may have adverse effects globally.
the reduction of CFC emissions Is an International concern.
EPA Is developing programs to Investigate other substances or
chemicals that may deplete the stratospheric ozone. In
Implementing the Clean' Air Act 'and deciding whether and to
what extent further regulation Is necessary, EPA Is continuing
Its studies of current developments In ozone processes, of
adverse health and environmental consequences of ozone
depletion. of technological capability to reduce emissions
from major sources, and of the cost of achieving control.

Abstract: This report reviews and evaluates the present state
of techniques which have been used to determine the
environmental persistence (biological, chemical and
photochemical degradation) and routes of degradation of
chemicals released in the environment by human'activities. The
techniques that were Identified were reviewed and then
evaluated for their ability to simulate natural environmental
conditions, convenience of procedure, time requirements,
necessary equipment and reproducibi1 Ity. The ultimate
evaluation was based on how well the methods have worked with
well-known environmental contaminants. A Cost analysis of the
test methods was undertaken to determine the feasibility of
comprehensive screening of chemicals for environmental
persistence.- A relationship between chemical structure and
environmental persistence is presented and some theoretical
grounds for such correlations are discussed. An Attempt has
been made to categorize chemicals for their suitability to
various test methods based on consideration of physiochemical
properties, toxicity, environmental release factors and
commercial economic factors.

Abstract: The paper describes information needed to evaluate
the safety of chemicals proposed as smog suppressors and means
for obtaining this information. Los Angeles and other large
cities have frequent and severe smog conditions that result
from photochemical reactions on atmospheric pollutants.
Certain chemicals such as die thyIhydroxy1 amine have been shown
In the laboratory to Interfere with this photochemical process
and should, if released at the optimal time, place, and amount
prior to or during smog conditions, significantly reduce or
eliminate smog. It has been further argued by those favoring
this approach to controlling smog that the cost of chemicals
would be less than the cost of fitting automobiles with
catalytic converters now used to reduce smog causing
pollution. The test protocols and the information obtained
from models described in this paper should provide adequate
information needed to evaluate the safety of these chemicals
for the uses proposed.

Group 1. PB-276 868.
Abstract: Workers in pesticide formulation plants are often
exposed to relatively high levels of pesticide compounds.
Since most chemical pesticides have at least some degree of
toxidity to man. It is important that all workers. as well as
management, be aware of any potential hazard that may
accompany exposure to such compounds. Experience has shown
that if proper precautionary measures are observed. workers
can safely handle even the more toxic compounds. Although
pesticides cause Illnesses and even deaths each year. many of
these cases are a result of carelessness or accident. Proper
education as well as close supervision of workers may prevent
some accidents and greatly reduce the number- of Illnesses
resulting from carelessness. The main purpose of this chapter
is to discuss some of the problems related to exposure of
workers in formulation plants, to indicate various ways that
unnecessary exposure to pesticides may occur and to point out
certain precautions to prevent such exposure.

Abstract: Ethylene dibromlde has recently been reported by the
National Cancer Institute to be a potential carcinogen. Its
commercial use Is predominately as a scavenging agent for lead
In gasoline. A minor usage Is a pesticide fumlgant. A protocol
was developed for 'the sampling and analysis of ethylene
dibromlde In ambient air and surface water. The range In
concentration of ethylene dibromlde In the air and the site
where It was collected are as follows; manufacturing sites,
4.2 to 115 mlcrograms per cu m oil refinery. 0.23-1.65
mlcrograms per cu m; • urban locations near retail gasoline
stations and with heavy vehicular traffic. O.O69 to O.11
mlcrograms per cu m. Two water samples collected from streams
near an oil refinery and a manufacturing site were found to
contain 1.13 and 1.O5 parts per billion ethylene dibromlde,
respectively. Further work to clarify ambient air levels and
to assess whether they may represent a health risk Is
anticipated, but the very low levels detected to date are not
thought to present a significant risk to health.

sediment. The plants represent six major industries:
perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene. carbon tetrachlorIde.
chlorine, trlazlne herbicides, and pentachloronltrobenzene. In
general. higher levels of• HCB were associated with the
production of lower chlorinated hydrocarbons than with the
production of other chemicals. HCB levels in soil and air at
the pentachloronltrobenzene plant were relatively high. The
levels of HCB associated with plants producting chlorine and
triazlne herbicides were very low. Several different
waste-disposal methods were used at the perchloro- and
trichloroethylene plants that were sampled. The highest level
of HCB was detected in air and soil at the plant using on-slte
landfill and open pit storage. High HCB levels were detected
In loading and transfer areas at plants using off-site
disposal methods. Samples were collected from two sewage
treatment plants: negligible quantities of HCB were detected.

Abstract: A sampling and analysis program was conducted to
determine the extent of environmental contamination by
hexachlorobutadiene around nine chemical manufacturers. The
plants selected represented six major industries:
perchloroethylene, trIchloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride,
chlorine, triazine herbicides, and pentachloronitrobenzene.
Air, water, soil, and sediment samples were collected on and
around the plants. In general, higher levels of HCBD in air-
were associated with production of perchloroethylene and
trichloroethylene while the level in the vicinity of chlorine
and triazine herbicide plants was very low. No HCBD was found
in the air at the pentachloronitrobenzene plant. The highest
level of HCBD in air and soil was at a plant using on-site
landfill and open pit storage waste-disposal methods. High
levels were detected in loading and transfer areas at plants
using off-site disposal methods.

Abstract: Sites representing six categories of potential
sources of EDB emission were sampled. The categories are: (1)
gasoline mixing, storage, and transfer (refineries); (2)
retail gasoline; (3) highly trafficked urban; (4) suburban
residential (lightly trafficked); (5) rural; and (6)
fumigation centers. Air samples collected near four different
bulk loading stations had EDB levels at least twice that of
background samples. The effect of heavily trafficked freeways
on the EDB levels in two different cities was not discernible.
However, EDB was detected in all samples taken in heavily
trafficked urban areas. The ubiquitous nature of EDB is
probably the result of the widely dispersed sources of
emission In urban/industrial areas. The levels of EDB in air
ranged from O.O5 to O.1O microgram/cum in rural and suburban
areas, and from 0.1 to 0.4 microgram/cum in metropolitan
areas. Two fumigation centers where EDB was used to fumigate
grapefruit were found to be significant sources of emission.

Abstract: A sampling and analysis program was conducted to
determine whether and to what extent vinyl chloride was
present In ambient air due to the presence of polyvinyl
.chloride products. Sampling environments were chosen to
represent real life, but nonwork situations where a
significant exposure to polyvinyl chloride products might
occur. A sampling and analysis protocol was developed with a
recovery efficiency of greater than 90% and a detection limit
of 1O ppb (v/v). The two general categories of environments
sampled were vehicles and commercial products. The interior
ambient air was sampled from new and used domestic
automobiles, foreign automobiles and domestic mobile homes. No
evidence of vinyl chloride was found. The following commercial
vinyl products, when sampled in their normal environment, did
hot produce a measurable quantity of vinyl chloride In the
ambient air: vinyl wall covering; vinyl swimming pool liners;
and vinyl nursory products. A room being painted with a
heavily plgmented red paint was found to contain a very low
level of vinyl chloride.

polymers and to determine if the use of those polymers in
water treatment leads to measurable levels of acrylamide in
the water. Methods for the determination of acrylamide In
water and in poIyaery 1 amide were validated. Water samples were
reduced in volume by evaporation and analyzed by GC using a
nitrogen selective thermionic detector. The detection limit
was determined to be about 1 mlcrogram/11ter. Polyacrylamide
samples were extracted with 8O% methanol/2O% pH 3.75 water for
3 hr. The extracts were analyzed by HPLC with a UV detector
set at 20O nm. The monomer limit of detection was about O.5
microgram/g. One potable water treatment plant was sampled at
pre- and post-flocculat1on points. MRI tap water was analyzed
for comparison. No acrylamide above the detection limit was
found In any of the samples. Thirty-two polymers were analyzed
for residual acrylamide. When not obscured by interferences,
the observed acrylamide ranged from O.5 to 60O mlcrogram/g.

Abstract: A prospective collaborative study was conducted to
compare the effectiveness of four clinical techniques in the
detection of liver damage due to vinyl chloride monomer
exposure. A chpniically exposed and medically monitored worker
population was identified by histopathological and biochemical
documentation. Three techniques were non-invas1ve: (a) grey
scale ultrasonography of the liver. (b) microvasiilar skin
capillary assessment. and (c) urinary analysis of
glycosamlnoglycan excretion. The fourth technique was the
standard 99mTc sulfur colloid radlonucleotide liver spleen
scan. The screening studied were performed on a randomly
selected single cohort of chemical workers. All four
techniques were analyzed for their sensitivity and specificity
as compared to results of the. liver biopsy and biochemical
blood test classification. Although all four screening
techniques had a sensitivity and specificity sum greater than
one. none were significantly better than could be explained by
chance or the use of the biased coin. Reel ass 1fication of the
population Into those with more severe biochemical
abnormalities Improved the sensitivity of all screening tests,
but only the sensitivity and specificity sum for the GAG test
statistically significant at the O.05 level. There was no
significant correlation between any pair of screening test.
None of the four screening tests agreed with the biopsy
results better than might be obtained by biased coin or
chance. These screening studies as presently constituted, do
not provide sufficient sensitivity and specificity to warrant
their use In community screening for subclinical asymptomatic
hepatic Injury due to chemical exposure.

developed and the significance of air contaminant emissions
from the manufacture of six pest1cides- determined. Pesticides
studies are (1) insecticides: methyl parathion and toxaphene;
(2) herbicides: monosodium acid methanearsonate (MSMA) and
trifluralin; (3) fungicides and wood preservatives:
pentachlrophenol; and (4) fumigant: paradlchlorobenzene.
Background information is gathered from published data and
responses to the questionnaries sent to the pesticide
manufacturing ftrms. Based on the available data, production
projections are made up to the year 198O. A list of
manufacturers of each pesticide Is presented. Manufacturing
processes, raw and waste material handling, air contaminant
emission sources. quantity or quality, and pollutants,
together with their present practical control methods are
discussed. Significance of air contaminant emissions from the
pesticide industries is evaluated on the basis of available
data on the emission quantities and/or toxiclty of the
pollutants emitted. Gaps In the data required to make a
complete evaluation of significance are identified and
recommendations to fill those gaps are made.

Abstract: A central provision of the Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA, P.L. 94-469) concerns the testing of chemical
substances and mixtures which are used In commerce or may
represent an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or
the environment. The Act provides for continuing advice from
certain Federal agencies having common Interests in
identifying chemical substances or mixtures for testing.
Accordingly, the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee. which Is
composed of representatives from those concerned Federal
agencies, regularly provides to the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommendations on
chemicals and mixtures to which the Administrator should give
priority consideration for the promulgation of testing rules.
The substances tested are acrylamide, aryl phosphates,
chlorinated naphthalenes, dichloromethane. halogenated alkyl
epoxides, polychlorinated terphenyls, pyridine, and
1,1,1 -trIchloroethane.

Abstract: In June 1976. a study team representing four
Universities and a research Institution carried out a study of
possible neurological effects of long-term exposure to
airborne arsenic tr1oxide In a Western copper smelter. The
study Involved comparing active working men heavily exposed to
arsenic In the work force with workers not so exposed. Its
purpose was to determine whether nerve conduction velocity can
be utilized as a biological indicator of the subtle health
effects of chronic exposure to Inorganic arsenic In a
community setting.. The double-blind electrophyslologlc and
clinical study was based on 111 volunteers recruited from a
selected set of smelter workers with at least five years of
high urinary arsenic levels (37 men) and five years of low
urinary levels (33 men). The control population consisted of
members of the same union who worked at an aluminum plant In
the same city (13 men) as well as male municipal employee's
with no Industrial exposure (28 men). The conclusions of the
study are that: (1) chronic arsenic exposure In an Industrial
setting affects the peripheral nervous system. and (2) the
neurologic parameters used In this study appear to be suitable
for use In screening a community population for changes
related to arsenical neuropathies.

Abstract:' The main purpose of this program was to develop a
warning system which would alert individuals against premature
reentry into areas treated with organophosphate and carbamate
pesticides. The design of the study was such that the
disappearance times of the pesticides and odor agents (as well
as visual agents) were determined under laboratory climatic
conditions and for at least two different temperatures
outdoors. The tests were designed to evaluate different
sensory agents rather than to test one with varying climatic
conditions. The three insecticides involved in this program
were methyl parathion, carbofuran, and az1nphosmethy1. -The
first quarter of the program was devoted to literature
searching and generating experimental approaches. Second,
third and fourth quarters were almost exclusively devoted to
experimental work, although some literature searching and
studying were required throughout the program for the purposes
of guidance and evaluation.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify locations
in the United States where community exposure to the phenoxy
herbicide 2, 4. 5 can be examined in relation to the risk of
spontaneous abortion and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Prior ecologic studies evaluating the reproductive
consequences of exposure to 2, 4, 5-T have produced equivocal
results. In this report, the authors consider what research
strategies and what populations may be used to generate
evidence that can be more readily interpreted. Issues relating
to the nature of the exposure (e.g. seasonal use. unknown dose
level and fate In the environment) and to ascertainment of
spontaneous abortions (e.g., memory bias, variability in
medical service use) are discussed. Two candidate study areas
are investigated. Research approaches suitable to each site
are set out and assessed for their potential to provide a
powerful, valid test of the relationship of 2, 4, 5-T use to
spontaneous abortion.

an Initial effort in a continuing exploration of Federal-State
cooperation for toxic substances control. The authors hope the
products of this new focus will provide useful information to
States about State problems and programs. Through continued
Information exchange and legislative policy analysis, the
Program Integration Division (PID) plans to assist States to
develop their own toxic substances strategies. These
strategies when implemented in cooperation with EPA's Regional
Offices enhance the probability of successful, nationwide

Abstract: Integration (EPA/OTI) is interested in substantially
strengthening federal-state cooperative mechanisms For the
control and management of toxic substances. Designing a
framework for federal-state cooperation and coordination
depends heavily upon states' perspectives on their needs and
potential roles. In cooperation with EPA/OTI the National
Governors' Association's Center for Policy Research undertook
a three month review of state perspectives on overall
hazardous materials management, focusing on toxic substances,
to support the development of this federal-state cooperative
strategy. NGA stresses the wide range of state accomplishments
in this area. The report divides states into three groups
along a set of qualities indicating their organization for
toxics management and the sophistication of their approach.
Different relationships with the Federal government, and
different requirements for support, are Indicated for each
group. In general. . the sophisticated states need program
flexibility. those moderately involved need technical
assistance. and the least advanced need Information about the
seriousness of the problem and workable models of improved
systems.

Abstract: Many of the key rate constants needed to predict
rates of transformation and transport of organic chemicals in
water and air can be estimated from structure-reactivity
correlations (SRC) with reasonable accuracy. These rate
constants can be coupled with environmental parameters such as
pH or oxidant concentrations to provide estimates of rates of
these processes under a variety of environmental conditions.
SRC needed for zero-level testing are most abundant for
hydrolysis, oxidation and sorption, and relatively scarce for
photolysis and volatilization. Generalized SRC are readily
used by non-expert, technically trained personnel whereas
application of detailed SRC or linear free energy
relationships (LPER) require expert knowledge in mechanistic
chemical kinetics. An example is shown of the use of SRC
methodology to estimate rate and equilibrium constants for a
specific chemical.

Abstract: The report presents a requirements analysis and
feasibility study for the data management system needed to use
effectively industrial reporting data resulting from the
proposed Toxic Substances Control Act. The study finds that
the Office of Toxic Substances requires a system with
flexibility, extensibility of data content, ability to handle
a wide and confidential nature of the reports, and suitability
for immediate installation on a production basis. In the study
both a manual system that minimally satisfies the basic
requirements and a computerized system with much extended
capabilities are found technically feasible. In addition, the
study presents feasible enhancements to the manual system
which extend the manual system capabilities and show that a
continuum of system decisions exists between the manual and
the computerized system. The study recommends immediate
preparation for the computerized system in parallel with the
adoption of a cost-saving manual system that has a four-year
life expectancy.

Abstract: This technical Support Document provides the
rationale for the development of test standards to develop
data on density/relative density, melting temperature, vapor
pressure, octanol/water partition coefficient, and soil thin
layer chromatography of chemical substances. EPA will use the
data on these physical/chemical characteristics to evaluate
the manner and extent of environmental transport, fate and
places of deposit as an aid in assessing health and
environmental effects of chemicals under TSCA. For

Abstract: After several years of debate the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) was enacted Into law in 1976. The purpose
of the present project is to design. analyze. and assess
alternative policies that might be used to address the
problems TSCA might create for Innovation. while maintaining
the dominant thrust of TSCA to protect health and the
environment from unreasonable risk of injury and disease. The
ongoing policy discussions and the literature on technological
innovation yield many suggestions of such policy options, and
a major concern of this research has been to assess and
analyze the potential of those options to contribute to the
solution of the problem at hand in a cost-effective and
responsible manner

Abstract: The role of arsenic (and its compounds) In the
environment and In the economy of the United States was
studied, to evaluate the need for and the projected effect of
controlling Its production, use, dissipation. and emission.
The occurrence, chemistry, and toxicology were reviewed; the
prevalence of arsenic as an Impurity In commercial raw
materials. processes. and products was systematically
documented: the intentional commercial flow of arsenical
products was quantified: the sources of pollution were
identified and characterized; and the health hazards were
evaluated. The Intentional production and use of arsenic and
Its compounds Is greatly exceeded by the quantities
unintentionally mobilized by industrial activities. The
arsenic currently In food and water presents no Identifiable
health hazard, and the present controls on arsenical products,
by a number of Government agencies, appear adequate. Emissions
to the air from high-temperature processes are large.
partlculate collection devices appear largely Inadequate. and
the dangers presented are of serious concern.

Abstract: The role of cadmium (and its compounds) in the
environment and in the economy of the United States was
studied, to evaluate the need for and the projected effect of
controlling its production, use and dissipation.
Technologically and economically feasible control alternatives
were developed from: (1) A systematic documentation of cadmium
production, uses, prevalence, and sources of pollution; and
(2) An evaluation of the present and projected health hazards.
Available information was then used to directly compare and
optimize the various alternatives. The results led to two sets
of recommended controls. The first, aimed at preventing
increases in the present cadmium health hazards, consists of
continued air and water pollution abatement,
environmentally-sound land disposal of industrial wastes and
residuals, and regulation of application rates to agricultural
lands of cadmium-bearing materials. The second set of controls
exhibits a more aggressive posture towards limiting cadmium
dissipation, which could be Implemented in the future should a
more precise definition of the health hazard justify such a
posture.

the effects of chemicals on plants. Plant exposure to air.
soil, and water contaminants were considered. Test species
were selected on the basis of physiology, anatomy. Importance
as crops. and their susceptibility to chemicals. Bloassay
methods were chosen because they are most representative of
natural conditions. The recommended sequence of test
procedures Includes: growth chamber or laboratory testing,
greenhouse testing, field plot testing, progeny testing and.
finally, population studies In the ecosystem. It Is suggested
that the extent of testing should depend upon the quantity of

animal species in the human food chain. The objective of this
study was to evaluate the latest information available on air,
water, and solid waste discharges of arsenic and other1 heavy
metals. along with sulfur oxide emissions from nonferrous
smeltors and associated ecological effects. To accomplish this
objective. tho study focused primarily on three areas of
concern: (1) the extent of the ecological damage around
primary and secondary smelters; (2) the extent that arsenic,
by itself or in combination with other chemicals, caused this
ecological damage; and (3) how present or projected levels of
emissions. including no discharge. affect the levels of
damage.

Abstract: Paradichlorobenzene has been used extensively as a
household moth control agent and as a deodorant for many
years, and It is considered to be safe and suitable for these
purposes. However, cases of poisoning attributed to
Paradichlorobenzene have been reported. A convenient method
for determining exposure to this halobenzene is important in
evaluating any hazards Involved in its use. The halobenzenes
are metabolized mainly by oxidation to phenols, quinols,
catechols and related compounds, or by forming mercapturlc
acids. This paper describes a method which successfully
employs gas chromatography with electron capture detection for
the measurement of PDB and its major metabolites.

phosphorus in eutrophlcatIon, critical phosphorus
concentrations. the effects of eutrophication on human
populations, and the ex-tent of the eutrophicatIon problem in
the United States. The evidence contained in this report
Indicates that (a) excessive nutrient concentrations are
associated, with undesirable changes (eutrophication) in
aquatic plants, depletion of dissolved oxygen, disappearance
of cold water fish, and appearance of nuisance algal species:
(b) excessive phosphorus Is most frequently responsible for
these undesirable changes In lakes; (c) lakes and reservoirs
respond more severely to excessjve phosphorus concentrations
than do flowing waters. and do so at lower phosphorus
concentrations; (d) phosphorus may at times be the limiting
factor in estuaries but is not usually the limiting factor in
(e) critical phosphorus levels which lead to
have not been clearly defined because of the
variation in the response of surface waters to phosphorus
caused by differences in residence times, (f) eutrophication

Abstract: The purpose of the human monitoring program Is to
determine on a national scale levels of pesticide incidence 1n
the general population and to assess changes In these levels.
Such Incidence reflects prior exposure from all sources and Is
Important In understanding the ecological Impact of pesticides
pollution and In studying the human health effects of
pesticides exposure. Exact measurement of man's total exposure
to pesticides requires careful development and Implementation
of plans, the full cooperation of willing subjects, and
adequate laboratory support —condltIons which can be attained
only In the controlled research situation and are not easily
applicable to large groups. Previous human exposure to
pesticides may be estimated from measurement of storage levels
or excretion of these materials or their metabolites and from
measurement of physiologic effects.

Abstract: The pest1cide-exposure of the agricultural worker
has formed part of the research investigation of the Community
Pesticide Studies of Dade County. Health effects Ivwo boon
studied in the areas of acute, occupational and incidpntal
exposure. In contrast to other areas of the United States,
acute pesticide poisonings in this work group have resulted
more from spray procedures and misuse rather than from crop
and leaf residue intoxications. Case studies of these
intoxicat(cms are presented. With regard to occupational
exposure, significant cholinesterase Inhibition had been noted
in a group of 3OO agricultural workers: increased
organochlorine residues were observed and levels wore as high
as pesticide formulators. These biological indices of
pesticide exposure were related to SMA-12 data and blood
pressures. The Interpretation of these and other findings are
described In this report.

Abstract: Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) was administered in gelatin

tng/dog/day for twelve months. Mortality, anorexia and weight
loss occurred primarily at the highest but also to a lesser
degree at the next lower level. After approximately three
months, body weight stabilized or losses were regained.
Clinical laboratory changes found immediately before death in
severely affected animals which may have been related to
malnutrition, included anemia, hypoglycemia and testicular
degeneration. A dose related neutrophilia appeared In the two
highest dosage groups. The most widespread pathological
lesions were confined to the abdomen and included serositis;
necrosis, fibrosis and steatitls of the omentum, and lymphoid
atrophy at the two highest dose levels. Nodular hyperplasia of
gastric lymphoid tissue was found in all treated animals
including those at 1 mg/da(6.5-1O.Drug/kg). Four severely
affected animals at the highest dose level showed a
generalized vasculitis and one had amyloidosis. One dog from
each of the two highest levels had bile duct hyperplnsia and
subchronic pericholangitis. Bile and peri renal fat showed a
time and dose related accumulation of HCB.

Abstract: A continuous flow procedure was developed for
evaluating effects of Insoluble and volatile organics on
embryo-larval stages of fish. Test compounds were selected for
different combinations of solubility and volatility and
Included aniline. atrazine, chlorobenzene, chloroform,
2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacet1c acid, dioctyl
phthalate, malathion, trisodium nltr1lotrlacet1c acid, phenol,
and polychlorinated blphenyl (Capacitor 21). A closed system
devoid of standing air space greatly reduced volatility as a
test variable. Mechanical homogenlzation proved highly
effective in suspending hydrophobia compounds in influent
water. Continuous agitation In the test chamber and regulation
of detention time further precluded the need for carrier
solvents. Test results Indicated good reproducibl1ity of
exposure concentrations. The most toxic compounds included
Capacitor 21, chlorobenzene, 2.4-d1chlorophenol. and phenol.
Chlorobenzene at 9O mlcrograms/1 produced complete lethality
of trout eggs. The three other compounds gave log profit
LCSO's of 2 to 70 micrograms/1 when trout stages were exposed
In hard water, and LCI's were 0.3, 1.0, and 1.7 micrograms/1
for phenol. Capacitor 21, and 2,4-dichlorophenol. Chloroform
also was highly toxic to trout stages and LCI's ranged from
4.9 to 6.2 micrograms/1. When bass and goldfish stages were
exposed to chlorobenzene. LCI's ranged from 8 to 33
micrograms/1. Compared to other species, trout developmental
stages generally exhibited the greatest sensitivity. The LC1
values determined In embryo-larval tests compared closely with
maximum acceptable toxicant concentrations developed in
life-cycle studies. Most compounds produced appreciable
frequencies of teratic larvae.

Abstract: Ethylene dlbromlde (EDB) was administered at 2O. 38,
and 8O ppm by Inhalation to pregnant Charles River CD rats and
CD-I mice for 23 hr/day. The exposures started on day 6 of
gestation and lasted for a total of 1O days. Observations were
made on maternal welfare and fetal development. The results of
this study Indicate that (1) EDB Is more toxic In adult mice
than adult rats, (2) adverse effects on maternal welfare, as
measured by weight gain, feed consumption, and survival were
observed In both mice and rats, (3) although morphological
changes were observed In fetuses from dams exposed to EDB,
these effects were observed at concentrations that also
affected maternal welfare, and (4) EDB was judged to be only a
weak teratogen with little primary effect on development.

Abstract: In 1979 approximately 497 million pounds of
chloromethane were produced In the United States solely for
domestic consumption. It Is used almost exclusively as an
Intermediate, primarily In the manufacture of slllcone and
tetramethyllead. Chloromethane exposure has been reported to
result In a wide range of systemic toxlclty following both
acute and chronic exposure. Although effects on the liver,
kidney, heart, and hematopolet1c system have been demonstrated
In both humans find animals, the most sensitive organ seems to
be the central nervous system (CMS). Chloromethane has been
reported to possess mutagenlc activity 1n bacterial systems
that detect gene mutations and to cause chromosomal
aberration. Evidence of Its mutagenlc activity. Its In vitro
and In vivo alkylatlng capabilities, and Its structural
relationship to known or suspected oncogens suggest that
Chloromethane may possess oncogen1c potential. EPA is also
concerned with the danger of both structural malformation and
behavioral alterations that may be posed by Chloromethane.

Abstract: Since chlorobenzenes are used as chemical
Intermediates and for other industrial purposes as well .is in
consumer products. there Is very broad potential exposure.
Thus, there is known or potential exposure of workers involved
in chlorobenzene production, processing. and use, and of the
general population. both directly from consumer products and
indirectly through the environment. For this reason and on the
basis of limited toxic effects studies, EPA has proposed that
certain chlorobenzenes be tested to assess their potential to
cause chronic, reproductive, teratological, and oncogenic
effects. Following resolution of methodology Issues the Agency
has raised, EPA will propose at a later date test rules for
neurotoxic and mutagenic effects. Further, the Agency has
decided not to propose test rules for acute toxicity and
epidemiolog leal studies.

Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPTS) on submissions received
between January 1, 1977 and June 30, 1979 from chemical
manufacturers, processors, and distributors under Section 8(e)
of the Toxic Subr, lances Control Act (TSCA). The volume is
being publishod for two reasons. First. the collection of
status reports in a single volume will make that information
more accessible to the public. Second, the volume may, by
providing specific examples of submitted information and EPA's
evaluation of It, help anyone subject to Section 8(e) to
understand better the types of information that should be
submitted to the Agency. To date, no information submitted
under Section 8(e) has resulted in Immediate regulatory action
under TSCA or any other act, although somo submitted
Information has triggered further data gathoring and
evaluation that may lead to proposal of regulations In the
future.

Abstract: Study investigated volatile corrosion inhibitors
(VCIs) and the use of amines as boiler water additives. The
major VCI's are d1 eyelohexylammonium nitrite (Dichan),
'nonnitrite' Dichan substitutes, and benzotriazole. The
present market is about 31O.OOO kg/year; over 9O% of the use
is in the preparation of impregnated paper and other wrapping
materials. Dichan can be converted to the corresponding
nitrosamine; commercial products can contain up to 1 ppm of
the nitrosamine. Nonnitrite subsltutes are less likely to be
converted to nitrosamines but can likely be readily nitrosated
under environmental conditions. BenzotrIazole Is likely to be
environmentally stable and not converted to the corresponding
nitrosamine. Population exposure to VCI's Is large since it is
estimated that over 2O million individual items are wrapped in
VCI impregnated paper Two cases of nitrosamine detection at
levels of 1OO and 9O ppm in VCI wrapping paper have been
reported. A number of amines are employed for treating boiler
water. The total market in 1978 was estimated to be 9.OOO to
10.300 metric tons. The two most widely used neutralizing
amines are cyclohexy1 amine and morpholine; octadecylamine is
the most common film-forming amlne. There is no experimental
evidence to indicate whether or not nitrosamines are formed in
boilers as a result of the addition of these amines.
