YOUNG, Mo)-Consultant, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE IMIjDflYj,._ JANUARY 14 , 1980 DIOXIN NOT Woods f202) 755-Q344 __ The Environmental Protection Agency has found no DETECTED IN MOTHER'S MILK detectable residues of the chemical dioxin (2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, or TCDD) in 103 milk samples from nursing mothers in three western states. Dioxin, an extremely dangerous chemical, ic an unavoidable component of the herbicides 2,4,5-T and silver which have been sprayed to control weeds and brxjsh in forest areas, rights-of-way, rangeland end crops for many years. The samples were obtained from 105 mothers selected frorc areas in California, Oregon and Washington where the dioxin-containing herbicides were known to have been used for several years* EPA has notified each mother who participated in the survey of the test results. Dioxin has caused birth defects and miscarriages in laboratory animals, including monkeys, at the lowest possible dosage, and has caused cancer in other laboratory animals at low levels, f'ost uses of 2,4,5-T and Silvex were temporarily halted by EPA last Spring when scientists found a statistical correlation between the spraying of 2,4,5-T in a forested area of Oregon and an above normal rate of miscarriages in the same area. Hearings to determines whether or not 2,4,5-T and Silvftx vrill be permanently banned from usr? bagin February 13, 1980 in Washington, D.C. R-10 Kiik samples from nursing mothers individually selected by the Agency were taken in November, 1977.

This equipment is capable of measuring residues down to 1 to 4 parts per trillion». At this tijr.e# the technology does not exist* to rneasure residues below that level. It is not known v/hether any dioxin is present below the limit of detection.
