1Nk-dnesdoy, Qct'ober t13, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three \*dnesday, October 13, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'PageThree FORD APPROVES PCB BAN: I Limits set for toxics By AP and UPI President Ford yesterday sign- ed a law setting strict, new governmental standards regula- ting chemicals and other toxic substances that could have ad- verse impact on environment and human health. The Toxic Substances Control Act, long sought by environmen- talists, authorizes the Environ- mental Protection Agency (EPA) to block or limit the marketing of new chemical pro- ducts judged to be harmful and to ban or limit the continued marketing of such substances. INCLUDED IN the measure is a two-year ban of polychlor- inated biphenyl (PCB), a class of industrial chemicals linked with serious ailments in labora- tory animals and recently de- tected by the EPA in human mothers' milk. "I believe this legislation may be one of the most important pieces of environ- mental legislation that has been enacted by the Congress," Ford said in a statement announcing his action. During the past decade a growing numberof commercial chemicals have been banned or restricted, largely at the prod- ding of federal courts which were petitioned by citizens' groups. MOST HAVE BEEN commer- cial poisons, such as DDT, dieldrin-aldrin, and mercurial compounds, regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. Chemicals for human consumption in food or cosmetics were regulated by the Food and Drug Administra- tion. But there was no general law, until the Toxic Substances Con- trol Act, to prevent dangerous chemicals of all kinds, many of them used industrially, from entering widespread use with- out precautions to prevent dam- age to health or the environ- ment. The Ford administration had initially opposed the Toxic Sub- stances Bill, but when a com- promise version was worked out last month by Senate and House conferees, supporters of the measure said they did not expect a veto. THE LAW authorizes the En- vironmental Protection Agency to require manufacturers to test all potentially dangerous chemicals before marketing them to determine their effects, on health and the environment. The law also requires the manufacturers to notify the ag- ency at least 90 days before beginning production of new chemical substances and before marketing existing products for significant new use. It requires the agency to halt production or to limit it if there is insufficient safety data on~ the chemical. WHEN THE DATA is avail- able, the EPA must act against unreasonable risks to public health and the environment by regulating, curtailing or ban-1 ning the chemicals if they arel hazardous. Strongly urged by environmen-f Svi- Versions were passed in the House and Senate and reached a conference committee as ear- ly as September, 1973, only to languish there and die with con- gressional adjournment in 1974. AT THAT TIME, an EPA of- ficial said public health offi- cials already had identified 1,300 chemicals that -cause tu- mors "under certain conditions"' - but there was little or noth- ing to show the seriousness of threat to human health. Pleading for passage of a tox- ic substance bill in 1974, EPA Deputy Administrator John Quarles said that without it the public could continue to suffer health alarms over mer- cury, PCB and vinyl chloride. When Quarles crititized it in 1974, the. chemical already was linked by scientific studies to such ailments in laboratory ani- mals as skin lesions, tumore, gastric disorders and reproduc- tive disorders. More recently, the EPA re- ported on the analysis of 67 sam-' ples of mothers' milk. All but two of the samples containedI PCBs in amounts from a level deemed acceptable in baby food by the Food and Drug Admin- istration to more than 50 times that amount.

Legislators predict state tax increase By CHRIS PARKS LANSING (UPI) - Gov. William Milliken's budget di- rector says Milliken opposes a tax hike at least through 1977, but concedes that Michigan's fiscal situation is so precarious it may be necessary to issue budget - cutting orders. Several lawmakers said yes- terday, however, they see a tax hike next year as inevitable. GERALDMILL1ER told the Senate Taxation Com- mittee yesterday Michigan's economy is slowly improving and said to "reduce disposable income by an increase in taxes" would be poor economic policy. Miller conceded the state is in "very serious fiscal condi- tion" with a potential deficit of about $65 million. He outlin- ed a number of possible'prob- lems any one of which could result in. an executive order slashing the budget. He said the state needs a favorable court ruling on a new bonding plan and legislative ac- tion closing loopholes in the Sinale Business Tax and warn- ed it could lose money if strik- ing Ford workers do not go back to work soon, or if a grad- vated income tax proposal on the fall ballot passes. MILLER ALSO said the state may have to come up with ex- tra funds for Medicaid, school aid and the State Police Detroit freewav patrol.
