6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 21, 1979 Section Two Woods, Water and'Wildlife Good Brothers Perform iîn Newcastle 's Elmhurst Hotel By Ron Reid An Enduring Problern? Are the public becorning too sensitve ta the hazards of environrnental contaminants? The fiurry of controversy over the disposai of lîquid industriai wastes, especially PCB's, raises the intersting dilemma of how ta reduce the risks of these cantarninents in a less-than-perfect world. PCB's, or plychlarinated biphenyls. are one of the rnost g rsistent chericals created e industriai rnan. Widely used in electricai transform- ers and other equiprnent, they gradually escaped into the environrnent and spread through aur waterways and even through the air. Because they are so stable, they accurnulated rapidly through the food chain, and reached hazardous levels in rnany species of fish. Gulis and terns began ta suffer deformities and reproductive failures linked ta high levels of PCB's, and concerns about human health effects were raised. As a result, PCB's are being banned in Canada and existing uses phased out. But we.are lef t with a very seriaus disposai problern of at least 60 - 70,000 gallons of PCB- contaminated wastes sitting in starage araund Ontario wait- ing for disposai. Right naw, there are no legal means, of getting rid of this hazardous material - its awners cannot bury it, burn it, or even ship it ta, the U.S.A. for disposai. Containers leak, spilis accur, and the risk af illegal dumping increases drarnaticaily, as the starage time for PCB's drags on interminably. Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Environment bas prapased the destruction of these materials by high temperature burning in a Mississauga cernent kiln. Previaus - test burns have shown destruction of PCB's ta be either complete or very close ta complete at these temperatures. But the citizens of Mississauga, and their local elected representatives, appear ta have panicked at the rnere thought of such disposai, The Big Fun Dance Presents The'Good Brothers Saturday, Decem"ber 1lst.

Ironicaily, Mississauga seems prepared to accept the substantiai risks of long-term storage of PCB's, but not the small- unproven risks associated with its final destruction. The public fear of PCB's is so great that the rallying cry of communities around potential disposai sites appears to be 'a resounding "not-in-rny-backyard." The Federation of Ontario Naturalists maintains that the interests of society at large must corne ahead of such short-sightedness. The views of Mississauga should be heard, but ail those concerned about environmental protec- tion have a responsibility not to endlessly proiong debate while both PCB's and the risks assaciated with their storage accumulate even higher. At some paint, hopefully soon, a decision an disposai must be taken, and those affected should have the grace ta accept that decisian with maturity and understanding.
