Recites visit by the author to the plant, where fumes were noxious but of unknown toxicity. Describes chloracne and its mechanisms, stating that there is really no cure, and further stating that a case has to be seen to appreciate how socially debilitating it can be. Recommends sending some of the worst cases to a Dr. Marion B. Sulzberger in New York city, but further recommends that this be deferred until the plant is cleaned up or it will be an illusory remedy. Also recommends that better physical examinations be given to employees so that blood and liver damage can be assessed.

Burton describing the methods used to establish absorption curves to identify the impurities in 2,4,5-T by means of chromotography. Suggests that the curve is close to the curve established for dichlorosorcinol, but allows that a polychlorinated diphenyl ether compound may also be indicated in small amounts.

The tests on crude TCP showed that reactions to the August production samples existed but were less serious than reactions to May production samples. This indicated that they were on the right track in lower autoclave temperatures, according to the author, but that that alone would not solve the problem.

He notes that the probable chloracnogen is a chlorinated di-phenyl. For Prophylaxis purposes, he recommends cleanliness and special soaps. For treatment he recommends using creams, but suggests looking for systemic disorders as well. The report contains numerous recommendations concerning diet, etc. IV.

Told Kudesus that since the work of A1 Hirsch and Irving Rosen "several years ago" and the more recent work of Jack Jenney and A1 Lewis, they had no indication of chloracne trouble. Dr. Kudesus said he would send them a copy of his report on the problem which had caused them to shut down one of their plants and, in the meantime, he identified the culprit with a diagram which is reported in the memorandum. It was said that the material is not formed if the triTCP autoclave temperature is kept below 155 degrees C, and if the caustic mixture is not more than 120 C. Writer suggests trying this in the TCP plant in view of the problems there. 15287 DS00022024 IV.

Identifies information on Newark that chlorinated dyphenyl ethers are the probable cause of chloracne. Suggests that if lab results cannot be duplicated at the plant, then the recommendation is to increase the caustic ratio rather than the heat of reaction because higher temperatures promote chloracnegen (chlorinated diphenyl ethers) formation. The memo suggests that a dilutent might be used to moderate the reaction also. JL5 -3 IV.
