AUSTIN — Despite inisgiv-
lings from Texas Health Depart-
Iment officials and the head of a
Seriate subcommittee, Texas
Education Commissioner
Raymond Bynum has directed
publishers of health education
Itexts to delete all reference to
[venereal diseases in elementary
[and junior high school hooks.
Bynum issued the directive
iFriday and indicated the deci
sion to teach sexual information
should best be left to local school
boards.
“No doubt about it,” Bynum
said. “They (health officials)
would love to see it mandated
into the curriculum.
“It’s more an issue of do the
locals control how it’s handled
versus the state dictating how it’s
handled in that area.”
Bynum said none of the five
textbook publishers covered by
the order have objected.
But the Health Department
infectious disease control dire
ctor Joe Pair disagrees. He said
the department is fighting an
epidemic of sexually transmit
ted diseases in the 15- to 19-
year-old age group.
“We’ve always tried to get
venereal disease education insti
tuted in the public schools,” Pair
said. “We do have a problem of

venereal disease control in the

He said last year there were
502 cases of gonorrhea reported
in children 10 to 14 years old.
State Sen. Betty Andujar, R-
Fort Worth, said to deny educa
tion on sexually transmitted dis
eases to youngsters who may be
exposed to them amounts to
ignoring a real and significant
health risk.
The education agency’s deci
sion to delete venereal diseases
from textbooks comes a year af
ter Bynum ordered the removal
of Mirriam-Webster’s New Col
legiate Dictionary from a list of
approved textbooks due to so-
called “dirty words” the diction
ary defined.

BATON ROUGE, La. —
Workers at Exxon Corp. refin
ery wastewater plants nation
wide may have been affected by
a harmful substance, a federal
safety official said.
Whatever the substance was,
it caused an increased likelihood
of miscarriage during pregnan
cy in the wives of Baton Rouge
workers, said Dr. Steve Fox of
the National Institute for Occu
pational Safety and Health.
Evidence suggests reproduc
tive problems can be caused by
lead and mercury, which are
among hazardous materials
handled by Exxon wastewater
workers, he said.
The institute is trying to find
out why Baton Rouge workers’
wives have an increased likeli
hood of miscarriages during
pregnancy, Fox said Friday.
The increased chance of mis
carriage showed up in a 1981
Exxon study.
T he $250,000 study showed
pregnancies occurring after the
husband worked in the treat
ment plant were more likely to
fail than those occurring before
such exposure.
“While the severe limitations
of the data inhibit firm conclu
sions, there is a statistical associa
tion between wastewater treat
ment plant exposure and
adverse pregnancy outcome,”
the study said.
The study, by Environmental
Health Associates of California,
concluded the reproductive cells
of male electricians, mechanics
and instrument workers might
be damaged temporarily by exp
osure to chemicals.
Exxon officials have said they
will follow up the 1981 study
through long-term monitoring
of the pregnancies of workers’
wives, charting of the history of
the women’s pregnancies or test
ing reproductive systems of
workers.
Federal officials who investi
gated health complaints at the
refinery cited Exxon for three
safety violations Friday. Howev
er, inspectors said the violations
were not serious.
The Occupational Safety and
Health Administration cited Ex
xon for employees working in
standing water, holes in the
floor over a separator at the was
tewater treatment plant and in
adequate training of wastewater
plant workers in the use of re
spirators.
The Baton Rouge refinery,
which is the second largest in the
United States, produces gaso
line, asphalt, diesel, jet fuel,
waxes and lubricants.
