The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 1:30 p.m., in Room 2322 of the Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Paul Gillmor (chairman) presiding. Members present: Representatives Wilson, Bass, Sullivan, Barton (ex officio), Solis, Stupak, Capps, Doyle, Schakowsky, Inslee, Baldwin, and Gillmor. Staff present: David McCarthy, Chief Counsel for Energy and Environment; Tom Hassenboehler, Counsel; Jerry Couri, Policy Coordinator; Billy Harvard, Legislative Clerk; Dick Frandsen, Minority Senior Counsel; Lorie Schmidt, Minority Counsel; and Alec Gerlach, Minority Research Assistant. MR. GILLMOR. The committee will come to order and before the Chair recognizes himself, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have five legislative days to submit opening statements for the record, and hearing no objection, that is so ordered. The Chair recognizes himself for the purpose of delivering an opening statement. Normally, the hearings we have in this committee deal with issues that directly effect human health and the environment. Today’s subject matter is geared more toward the questions involved in safeguarding animal health and the environment, and whether it is appropriate for the Federal government to create a national standard to help ease the impacts to interstate commerce by doing so. News reports of pets being poisoned by drinking antifreeze have horrified many people and according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, one of the main constituents of antifreeze, ethylene glycol, can significantly damage the kidneys, heart, and nervous system of humans, potentially resulting in fatalities, if not immediately treated. Concerns that pets or small children could be at such a risk to accidentally drinking spilled antifreeze have spurred three States into enacting legislation that requires a bittering agent be added to antifreeze to discourage both human and pet ingestion. (1) 2 In fact, 10 more States are considering requiring bittering agents. The nexus between interstate distribution of antifreeze products and multiple differing antifreeze recipe requirements in each State gives rise to the question of whether Congress should act. The bill that our subcommittee will consider today requires engine coolant, or antifreeze, that contains more than 10 percent ethylene glycol to include a bittering agent known as denatonium benzoate at a minimum, at a level that would make the coolant or antifreeze unpalatable to pets or small children. In addition, and of interest to our subcommittee, the bill provides environmental liability protection for anyone who was not directly responsible for producing the bittering agent and was not grossly negligent concerning any environmental damage that may have been caused by its release. Some people argue that it is unfair to hold them liable for complying to law by adding a bittering agent that they did not make. And while I am inclined to be sympathetic to the antifreeze makers in this case, I also note that there is nothing in the bill that would deflect any liability for the other constituents of antifreeze that may be released into the environment and may of themselves cause contamination. So I look forward to hearing the testimony from our witnesses today, and I want to thank them for their time and effort in being with us. [The prepared statement of Hon. Paul Gillmor follows:] PREPARED STATEMENT OF THE HON. PAUL GILLMOR, CHAIRMAN, SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS The Subcommittee will come to order. Before the Chair recognizes himself, the Chair would like to ask Unanimous Consent that all members have 5 legislative days to submit opening statements for the record. Hearing no objection, it is so ordered. In addition, the Chair would like to remind members that under the Standard Practices of the Committee, opening statements for the Chairman and Ranking Member will be five (5) minutes each and other members of the committee who is seated and recognized will be given three (3) minutes.

This research addressed the optimal doses of alum and ferric chloride, and impact of water quality conditions such as pH, ionic strength, turbidity, and alkalinity on DB removal from water. Coagulation aids such as kaolin and bentonite were studied for their impact on DB removal.

The purpose of the oxalate crystals and is responsible for the organ present case report was to demonstrate 4-MP efficiency toxicity of EG that results from the deposition of in EG poisoning in a 4-year-old child. oxalate crystals in tissues. EG poisoning is usually Method and Results. 4-MP Treatment was performed treated by gastric lavage performed promptly after 7 hours after EG ingestion. Plasma EG and 4-MP concen- trations were measured 2 hours after each infusion of the ingestion, alkalization, and administration of 4-MP. Plasma 4-MP concentrations were in the range of ethanol. In severe cases with acute renal failure, the values reported to block EG metabolism.

No adverse effect of 4-MP the difficulty of maintaining ethanol blood levels was observed. in the range of 1 to 2 g/L by frequent adjustments Conclusion. This child ingested a potentially lethal of dosage2 and also the fact that ethanol may lead dose of EG despite a high concentration of bittering to a central nervous system depression, especially agent in antifreeze.
