Monday Don't Pour EDB Into Your Stomach Through A Tube, it Causes Cancer WASHINGTON (AP) A chemical widely used as a gasoline additive and as a pesticide has proven to be one of the most potent cancer-causing substances ever found in the animal test program of the National Cancer Institute, health officials report- Test results on ethylene dibromide, also known as EDB.

indicate the chemical is capable of causing cancer in humans, the Cancer Institute said in a report released Monday. However. the NCI cautioned that its test results couldn't be used "to predict the frequencv at which cancers might be produced in human populations under actual conditionsof exposure." In the NCI lest, rats and mice were fed large doses of EDB through stomach tubes, producing a high incidence of cancers in both male and female animals with the first tumors in only 12 weeks, health officials said. The NCI said the death ra5e was so high that they discontinued the experiment half way through the test period. But a spokesman for the largest EDB manufacturer saia the test was flawed by ihe manner in which the chemical was admimstered.

"Ethylene dibromide is a very irritating chemical and not surprisingly caused irritation to the stomach." Gary TrHaar. toxicologist for Ethyl Corp. of Baton Rouge. La. TrHaar said that EDB has been manufactured for 50 vears and studies on workers handling the chemical snowed no evidence it causes cancer The NCI said it selected EDB for testing because of its extensive potential for human exposure.

The National Institute for Occupational Safetv and Health estimated that 9,00" workers are exposed to EDB in manufacturing plants and 9.000 agricultural workers and 650.000 gasoline station attendants are exposed to much lower levels of EDB. About 350 million pounds of the chemical were produced in 1976 with two-thirds of that amount being used for an antiknock additive in leaded gasoline. The other main use was in more than 100 pesticides used on grains, fruits and vegetables and to fumigate The Environmental Defense Fund, a consumer ad- vocacv group, asked the Environmental Protection LITTLESTOWN NEWS BRIEFS The Jaycees will hold their regular meeting Tuesday evening ai 8 in the Community Center.
