2,4-D could cause problems

PENTICTON, B.C. (CP)
— Phenoxy herbicides like
24D open iriead ofn-

malformations and possibly
incredse the prevelance of
cancer, a Simon Fraser

Piday, June 9, 1978

programs, sald that evi-
dence bf the harmful effects
of herbicides such as 2,¢-D is .
“fragmentary, poorly-
organized, confusing: and
some of it misleading.”

University biologist said ye said, however, that the

Wednesday.

Dr. Theodor Sterling made
the comment during a
hearing by ‘the British
Columbia pesticide control
appeal board into the use of
2,4-D in the Okanagan Lake
syatem.

Sterling was one of two
witnesses presented by the
South Okanagan Eviron-
mental Coalition, which
oppofes use of the herbicide,

The other, environmental
engineer Gil of
Seattle, said it is difficult to
measure the adverse effects
of 24D because adequate
studies have not been
carried out on low-level
concentrations of 2,4,5-T and
2,4D,

The seven-member appeal
board, headed by Valter
Raudsepp, former deputy:
minister of water resources
and former chairman of the
provincial pollution control
board, is considering
whether 2,4-D should be used
in the Okanagan water
syatem this summer to fight
Eurasian milfoll weed.

EVIDENCE CONFUSING

Sterling, of Simon Fraser's
computer science -depart- .
ment, and a biologist with a
background in cancer-
related studies and

evidence as a whole in-
dicates use of phenoxy
herbicides like 24-D opens
risks ofnmalformations
among people and wildlife,
and possibly increases the
prevelance of cancer,

Sterling suggested
mechanical harvesting as an
alternative to herbicide to
get rid of the milfoil, He said
that a secondary industry to
dispoge of milfoil also would
' alleviate labor problems in
the Okanagan Valley.

Zemansky, who is working
on .doctorate en-
vironmental engineering at
the University of
Washington; described a

similar issue which arose
over milfoil in Lake
Washington.

PUBLIC CONCERN

- Although it firat was
decided tonuse 2,4-D, be
said, because of public
concern concern over
possible health hazards in-
volved, it was decided that
2,4-D would only be used in
Seattle under strict lab
conditions and mechanical
means would have to be used
in the lake. -

Zemansky and.- board
members asked Dr. Peter
Nevwroth, a biologist with the
_ provincial water in-

vestigations branch, for
specific information con-
cerning drift activity in the
Okanagan Lake system and
what effect this action will
have on dispersal of the
chemical,

Newroth said he has the
needed information but that
it would pe supplied at a
later tim

Referring ta the 1976
studies done by Newrath on
2,4-D and milfoil, Zemansky
sald he tried for ‘several
Months by telephone and
mail to abtaln further input

and data but was unable to ;

get the material,
APPEARS INADEQUATE

“If the information is not
readily available, it would
appear that papers and
studies completed to date
not adequate,’'
Zemansky said.

He also said that there are
a number of groups whe
want to see a return of the
milfoil in Cheshpeake Bay,’
Va.

Although the plant was
once prolific in the Virginia
coastal bay, it has rereated
greatly in recent years along
with other acquatic plant
life, he said. The United
States Environmental
Protection Agency, fish and
wildlife agencies and the
University of Virginia are

_ among those who would like

to see this plant and others

_Teintroduced to gceve a

natural balance of species in
the acquatic plant families of.
the bay.

PCB pushes Cominco
to clean-up effluent

KIMBERLEY, ‘B.C. (CP)
— The: pollution control
board will decide within six
weeks whether the deadline
will be extended for Cominco
Ltd. to complete an ‘effluent
treatment plant atits mining
‘and fertilizer operation in
this southeastern British
Columbia community, a
company spokesman said
Wednesday.

The decision followed a
daylong bearing before the
board.

‘The ‘board charged
Cominco earlier this year
with failing to meet Pollution
control standards,

The board had ordered the
company tocompletea list of
improvements by Dec. ‘31,
1977,

The company was ordered
to remove contamindnts
from its fertilizer plant, treat

and drainage water
at Sullivan mines, treat
water from a tillings pond
and storage area near the

fertilizer plant and dispose of

the remaining domestic
sewage from the fertilizer
plant.

The board earlier turned

down an application by Com- -

inco to have the order
amended to give them more
time to build an effluent
plant, scheduled for com-
pletion innlate 1979.

Tests showed pollution
from the mining operation
‘was entering Mark Creek
and the St. Mary's River.

WHAT IS TMT?

TMT is a 5uperconcentrated liquid for-
mulalian incorporating Du Pon! TEFLON’,
the same chemical. compound that went to
the Moon in the lunar vehicle engines. When
TMT is added fo an engine crankcasa, this
key ingredient instantly goes to work against
the No. One Cause of pgor gas mileage,
sluggish performance. high operating tem-
peratures, and mechanical breakdown: fric-
fional drag.

Bul unless you ve a chemical! engineer,
righl now you'ra more interested inwhat TMT
does than how it dees it. So here it is, in a
nutshell:

TMT.IS FAST! There's nothing complicated
about using TMT —-a 12-year-old kid could da
itinless than 6Qseconds . .. and not even gel

- his hands dirty!

TMT IS PEAMANENT! It’s an engine treal-

ment, not an ail treatment, Just one single

TMT IS SAFE! We've put our monay where

' TMT IS EFFECTIVE! Ellegtive far any car,

truck. or olher vehicle—whether il's this

tects and preserves new engines... ‘tightens
up" and rejuvanates old ones!

TMT IS GUARANTEED! Every TMT Treat-

ment sold carries with it the strongest. most

iron-clad Guarantee we could think of!—
