SUBJECT: Telephone Request for PCB Information
(1) Attached is a copy of a 11 flyer11 that was distributed on
August 15, 1978 house-to-house to all citizens living on roads where
PCB's were dumped.
(2) On August 18, 1978 twenty individuals were tested for PCB
blood levels. Approximately 12 of these individuals lived along the
roads where the spills had occurred and eight were considered to be
a control group living quite a distance from the spill areas. None
of these individuals showed any significant levels of PCB. On May 25,
1979 an attempt was made to again collect blood samples on these same
individuals but only eight could be located; again, the levels of PCB
D11111:CTOII
were insignificant. These specimens were sent to the National Institute
for Environmental Health Sciences in the Research Triangle which contracted
with a private laboratory to have the specimens run.
(3) A copy of a laboratory report on the S. W. Johnson well in
Four Oaks is attached along with a copy of the correspondence to Mr.
Sullivan, Sanitarian with the Johnston County Health Department. We
do not have any record in our files that a second specimen was collected
and examined, but in light of the essentially negative results of the
first test, we would consider this to be sufficient.
