EDB use is debated The recent debate over use of the chemical EDB (ethylene dibromide) has left many consumers wondering if the grain products they have stored on their shelves are safe to use. According to University of Illinois Extension Home Economist Nancy Moore, amounts of the chemical in the food supply - even in those products found to have higher- than-recommended levels - are too small to do any immediate damage to those who ingest them, and long-term effects are not known. "The EPA has recommended that grain products that will be further cooked in the home have a maximum permitted level of 150 parts per billion (ppb) and that ready-to-eat foods only be allowed 30 ppb, Moore said. The difference between the two levels can be attributed to the fact that normal mixing and cooking procedures destroy about 98 percent of the EDB present in the dry mix, she said. "That means that the pan­ cakes made from a mix that had 100 ppb EDB would wind up with only 2 ppb of the chemical after the mix is combined with milk and egg and cooked." The maximum allowable amounts of EDB in ready-to-eat baked goods are only 30 ppb because in most cases they will not be cooked again before they are eaten. "It's hard to even imagine how small two parts per billion really is. But to put it into everyday terms, it is the equivalent of two kernels of corn in 7,400 bushels of grain." According to Ms. Moore, there are no research data that conclusively link the con­ troversial pesticide with cancer in humans. "Most research on food safety is done by feeding laboratory rats or mice ex­ ceptionally large doses of a particular substance. The doses that the animals ingest are usually completely beyond what any human would consume in a day or even a lifetime of eating. But that's the best we have to go on, and in this case the ex­ tremely large doses have been shown to cause cancer in some of the rats tested." Since the EDB debate sur­ faced recently, some con­ sumers have been wondering why there seems to have been such an increase in the amount of EDB in food in recent years. Part of the answer may lie in the more efficient movement of foodstuffs from farm to market, Moore said. "EDB decomposes naturally over the course of time. Some of the grains that now have high levels of the chemical are being put in storage for three months. By the end of that time, enough of the EDB will be gone so that the grain will be safe to use. "In the past, this natural decomposition was counted on to occur during storage, tran­ sportation and milling of the grain. Now, however, as these processes take less time due to increased mechanization and automation at the processing plants, there is less time for that decomposition to occur. Therefore, more of the sub­ stance is present when the final product reaches the consumer." Ms. Moore said she does not expect to see many empty shelves at the supermarket as a result of the EPA's recom­ mendations. Only about 1 percent of all the wheat-based products and about 7 percent of the corn-based products currently on the shelves will have EDB concentrations greater than the new limits. Here in Illinois, since Gov. Thompson asked for spot-checks of supermarket products to determine what levels are present, only one lot of each of two products has been found to exceed the recommended levels. These products, one brand of pancake mix and one brand of rice, are being removed form grocers' shelves. The analysis of other products continues and if any other products are found to exceed the limit, they also will be removed, Moore said.

According to Captain Richard L. Stone, district commander State Police District 2 in Elgin, "The following statistics have been compiled to let the motoring public know what is being done to curb the problem of D.U.I.". These statistics are for the area covered by the State Police in District Two in McHenry County and only en­ tails state police arrests for calendar years 1981, 1982, and 1983 (January - October)." "To some people," Stone continued, "this might not appear to be a great amount of arrests, but considering the lack of manpower, vacations, days off, other details, officers ill, court time, and enforcing other laws, this is a tremendous amount of work done by very dedicated officers." He closed by adding, "With our efforts in law enforcement and more public awareness about D.U.I., the number of D.U.I, drivers will ^either decrease, or we will continue to arrest drunk drivers and in­ crease our totals."
