Cooking did not remove EDB
United Press International
AUSTIN — Significant re-
r1 ^- sidues of the potent cancer-
llle ^ r causing chemical EDB remained
rnfol j n three of seven grain-based
' and (food products, even after they
ll *' " ■ were cooked, the Texas Agricul-
uhis‘ ture Department said
Thursday.
s and Assistant Commissioner Ron
olds lx White said the cooking tests
inesca[dj were performed by the state at
nwlr the request of the federal En-
dl voii.! vironmental Protection Agency.
I “All of the product conuined
movedi EDB residues before cooking
changt and three contained detectable
iiblidiv amounts of the chemical after
being mixed and cooked exactly
as directed,” he said.
I The tests did not determine,
said White, how EDB residues
were changed during the cook
ing process or whether the carci
nogen contaminated the air dur
ing cooking.
In an additional 22 tests of
grain-based foods, he said none
of four ready-to-eat breakfast
cereals contained the chemical.
Tests also proved negative on
samples of corn chips, eggs,
oranges, corn meal, flour and
corn oil.
But White said EDB did turn
up in several dog food samples.
“While these tests showed
that all EDB residues do not
cook off, as some have claimed,
they also proved that an over
whelming majority of grain-
based products can get to mar
ket at a competitive price and be
completely free of this danger
ous chemical,” he said.
Traces of EDB — ethylene
dibromide — were found earlier
this month in products taken
from Texas supermarket
shelves. The chemical has been
widely used as a pesticide in the
grain and citrus industries,
although its use has been res
tricted by the EPA.
Despite calls from Texas
Agriculture Commissioner Jim
Hightower and environmental
ists that contaminated products
be removed from stores, state
health Commissioner Robert
Bernstein, has said he needs
more information about EDB
before issuing a removal order
or setting standards on how
much is safe for human con
sumption.
After similar findings in De
cember in Florida, health offi
cials there ordered the tainted
products removed from Florida
grocery stores and set a state
wide minimum exposure stan
dard.
The Texas Health Depart
ment said last week it could find
no traces of EDB in 22 samples
of public drinking water sup
plies from around the state.

The woman was told that her

Summey said between 40 and
50 calls have been made, mostly
by a woman claiming to work at
Humana Hospital in San Anto
nio. But some of the more recent
calls could be the work of copy
cats, he said.
“It’s a difficult investigation,”
Summey said. “We’re dealing
with an unknown source that
randomly picks people from the
telephone book. There’s no way
to trace the calls unless you get
an idea of where the source is.”
He said police investigated
the possibility the caller is a dis
gruntled hospital employee or a
mental patient.
“But right now, we have no
real concrete or valid suspects,”
he said. ‘T hope it runs its
course.”

“The number of new worl
dwide engineering and con
struction manhours available to
our industry in 1984 will be fully
a third less than they were three
years ago,” he said.
Vaughn said the “boom days”
are over for energy-related en-
? ;ineering and construction
irms. He said the industry will
likely get most of its business in
makeover work, updating plans
and making them more energy-
efficient and versatile.
In Houston, the site of Kel-
logg’s world headquarters, the
engineering and construction
industry “is probably less than
half the size it was two years ago”
and will “remain lean” to stay
competitive.
industry. We no longer compete
only with domestic and Euro
pean contractors, but with Far
Eastern and Middle Eastern
companies (with) lower operat
ing and labor costs,” he said.
Vaughn predicted engineer
ing construction firms will be
come more involved in the ear
liest stages of projects, assisting
in site selection and financing.
