Moffett / L1A-77021 Summary of Report LEAD IN THE ENVIRONMENT By J. L. Kimberley Executive Vice President Lead Industries Association, Inc. 292 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10017 My remarks today will be brief and are intended to set the stage for tomorrow's papers about what we can expect relating to lead in the environment. I want to review five aspects of lead in relation to the environment and where we stand at this moment. 1. Lead in Gasoline. This problem is still not resolved and is even more intense today than a year ago. However, there is wider recognition of the complexities involved in this issue, which I shall discuss later. 2. Lead in Paint. The LIA has been extremely active in attempting to combat the problem of childhood lead poisoning resulting from chewing on old leaded paint. We have supported Federal and local legislation and regulation aimed at eliminating this problem. 3. Emissions.and.Effluents from Industrial Plants. The Clean Air Amendments of 1970 provide machinery by which the Environmental Protection Agency will move toward strict control of industrial emissions. At the moment, the EPA is utilizing the Water Refuse Act of 1899 and the Water Quality Act of 1970 to set­ up a permit system to:control industrial discharges into waters. Lead in Ceramics. We have been cooperating in research and action programs designed to assure that lead-glazed dinnerware will not release amounts of lead in excess of determined safe levels. The U.S. Potters Association now has a dinnerware surveillance program and is cooperating with the Food and Drug Adminis­ tration to test dinnerware on a regular basis and approve products found safe and acceptable for consumer.use - Presented at the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Lead Industries Association, Chicago, Illinois, Monday, April 5, 1971 LIA-77022 2 head in Food and Water. J. 'L. KIMBERLEY Some questions have been raised about lead ■ :er — other than what occurs naturally. Part of this interest cported findings of higher-than-acceptable levels of mercury in some a recent report of the U.S. Geoiogical Survey of more than 720 -hen from streams and lakes showed that lead levels in these vore — with only three exceptions — below the acceptable level, water. < ,:e five topics, the question of lead in gasoline has been and conv.ost importance. Despite some local efforts to control lead conten i:2ieve the ultimate resolution will be at the Federal level, fstration’s present position is that there should be both . :ion to encourage use of at least low-lead if not no-lead gaso. s. This position is based almost entirely on the assumption the 1 .utomobile emissions — hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and carbor. : e achieved with catalytic agents that do not function well or ■ asoline.

Such as a.lead trap ahead of , if' trap lead and other particulates before exhausts reach a ar position is that an acceptable emission control system hod to reduce lead emissions into the atmosphere. LIA-77023 J. L. KIMBERLEY - 3 - Just last Friday, the Commerce Department's Panel on Automotive Fuels and Air Pollution issued a report that emphasizes the engineering, economic and regulatory problems involved in this issue. For example, about particulates, which include lead, the Panel stated, "There is a paucity of data available on the amount and nature of particulate emissions from cars." It should be noted that the Panel recommended steps be taken to assure availability of unleaded gasoline in at least one grade by July 1, 197**, and of a low-lead fuel by the end of 1972. But the Panel does not recommend elimination of leaded fuels, and recog­ nizes their function as a source of power, as economy for drivers, and as a conserver of crude oil.supplies. This Panel report is one indication, along with others, that efforts to show all sides of the lead-in-gasoline issue is leading to a broader understanding of .this complex environmental question. The prophets of doom predict catastrophe In less than two decades — and they are being listened to. My conviction is that this is far from the truth and much.political and emotional hysteria overwhelm the facts. We can and will con­ trol possible hazards in the environment and are.already doing so. No one denies that too much lead can be perilous. But the lead industry has studied what is "too much" for decades and has shown that our progressing society can enjoy the benefits of lead in its many uses without being subjected to hazards, providing sensible precautions and proper control measures are taken. it § it LIA-77024 APPENDIX "C" Annual Meeting Minutes April 5-6, 1971 LIA Staff Report (Presented by David M.
