TL: DU PONT CHAMBERS WORKS 1987 TOXICS REPORT SO: Greenpeace USA (GP) DT: April 1988 Keywords: du pont toxics new jersey us hazardous waste disposal chemicals production problems greenpeace reports gp / GREENPEACE APRIL 1988 Du Pont Chambers Works: 1987 Annual Toxics Report Toxic Raw Materials, Toxic Products and Toxic Wastes --------------------page 1 of 13 Du Pont Chambers Works in Deepwater, New Jersey, ranks as one of the largest and oldest manufacturers of chemical products in the U.S. Of the one billion pounds of chemical products made at Du Pont Chambers Works, a substantial portion is toxic -- harmful to the biological process of fish, aquatic plants, edible plants, wildlife, domestic animals...and people. Tetraethyl lead, toluene diisocyanate and phosgene are among the toxic products manufactured at Chambers Works. (1) Some of the facility's products -- the Freons, trichlorofluoromethane and dichlorodifluoromethane -- are damaging the processing systems of the entire planet. Many of the raw materials used in Chambers Works processes also have profound health and environmental effects. Du Pont's Chambers Works is the nation's largest generator of solid hazardous waste. (2) In 1983, EPA reported that Chambers Works generated 80 billion pounds of hazardous waste. (3) In 1987, more than 94 billion pounds of hazardous wastes, as defined under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, was managed at Chambers Works. (4) Du Pont Chambers Works is one of New Jersey's largest commercial hazardous waste treatment facilities. At least 200 companies send their hazardous wast to Chambers Works -- more than 350 million pounds of hazardous waste annually, about half of which comes from out-of-state. (5) (6) More than 1 billion pounds of chemical products leave the processing units at Chambers Works to be used or sold. Generally these products are well-contained to guard against their loss and resulting economic loss to the company. Of greatest concern, however, are the other uncontained toxics -- the millions of pounds of harmful synthetic chemicals that are dispersed, by design and by accident, into the air, water and soil. TOXICS IN THE DELAWARE RIVER Du Pont Chambers Works is equipped with one of the nation's largest wastewater treatment facilities -- a system that is currently treating 40 million gallons of chemically contaminated wastewater each day. In one year, 14.6 billion gallons of wastewater flow into the Delaware River from this facility. (7) -1- [Entered Greenbase May 6, 1991 ] DU PONT CHAMBERS WORKS 1987 TOXICS REPORT GREENPEACE APRIL 1988 Du Pont Chambers Works: 1987 Annual Toxics Report Toxic Raw Materials, Toxic Products and Toxic Wastes --------------------page 2 of 13 Roughly 60 percent of the waste fed into this wastewater treatment system comes from Chambers Works. The remainder is shipped in by customers of Du Pont's commercial industrial wastewater treatment and disposal service. (8) The 14.6 billion gallons of treated wastewater that are discharged at Du Pont Chambers Works in one year is still contaminated when it enters the Delaware River. Based on the company's discharge reports, Chambers Works' treated wastewater carried more than 780,000 pounds of waste chemicals into the river in 1987. This included the following chemicals: nickel, more than 3,700 pounds; fluoride, more than 650,000 pounds; chromium, more than 1,500 pounds; phenolics, more than 18,000 pounds; surfactants, more than 25,000 pounds. (For more details see Table 1.) (9) Based on data submitted by Chambers Works in the fall of 1987, on the average this facility also discharged more than 150,000 pounds of priority pollutants into the Delaware [sic] River last year. Almost 75 percent of this total load of priority pollutants was halogenated hydrocarbons -- a class of chemicals which, in general, exhibits characteristics of high toxicity, environmental persistence and selective accumulation in living tissues. (10) Among the priority pollutants released were 1,2 dichloroethane, an average of 64,834 pounds; methylene dichloride, an average of 19,553 pounds; and 2-nitrophenol, an average of 15,040 pounds. (For a more complete listing, see Table 2). The first limits that have ever been placed on the quantities of these chemicals that can be discharged into the Delaware will finally be enforced beginning April 1, 1989, to remain effective for the following five years. According to New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Permit No. NJO005100, Du Pont Chambers Works must reduce its release of 1,2 dichloroethane to an average of 14,534 pounds/year. Methylene chloride releases will be limited to an, average of 3,638 pounds/year and 2-nitrophenol, an average of 4,368 pounds/year. (For more details, see Table 3.) (11) TOXICS IN THE GROUNDWATER Mismanagement of chemicals at Chambers Works has resulted in severe groundwater contamination. Quantities of fugitive chemicals have moved through the soil and into the groundwater from the unlined ditches that transport the facility's wastestreams, from buried wastes, from unlined storage ponds, from spills and leaks, from the fallout of airborne chemicals, etc. In the largest settlement by a single company for one location in the country, Du Pont has agreed to spend $39 million to decontaminate groundwater at Chambers Works. (12) 2 [Entered Greenbase May 6, 1991 ] DU PONT CHAMBERS WORKS 1987 TOXICS REPORT GREENPEACE APRIL 1988 Du Pont Chambers Works: 1987 Annual Toxics Report Toxic Raw Materials, Toxic Products and Toxic Wastes --------------------page 3 of 13 Among the hundreds of chemical contaminants found in groundwater beneath the facility are benzene, a commonly used chemical linked to leukaemia.in people, as high as 12,000 parts per billion *ppb); chlorobenzene, a less familiar, but similarly harmful to people, as high as 79,000 ppb; chromium,, a toxic heavy metal, as high as 225 ppb; and lead, a notoriously harmful metal, as high as 61.8 ppb. (For a more complete listing, see Table 4) (13) TOXICS IN THE AIR In 1987, Du Pont Chambers Works reported releasing more than 22 million pounds of chemicals into the air. This total includes more than 4.4 million pounds of halogenated hydrocarbons (HHCs). (See Table 5 for a detailed list.) (14) As a class of chemicals, the HHCs include many of modern industry's most notorious toxics -- persistent, bioaccumulative poisons that are selectively absorbed in the living tissues of plants, fish, people and other animals where they exert carcinogenic, neurotoxic, reproductive, and immunotoxic effects. Other HHCS, such as the Freons, are also linked to the destruction of the upper atmosphere's ozone layer. (15) At least 200 volatile organic chemicals spread into the air from some 1500 stacks and vents scattered through the processing units at Chambers Works and from the facility's existing hazardous waste incinerator. (16) Chambers Works' existing incinerator burns 12-13 million pounds per year of Du Pont's liquid hazardous waste. (17) Even if this incinerator achieves optimum destruction and removal efficiencies at all times, it still releases 1,200 pounds per year of unburned hazardous waste into the air. In addition, the incinerator emits an unknown quantity of toxic chemicals formed during combustion --so-called products of incomplete combustion that, according to EPA reports, may be even more toxic than the original hazardous waste. (18) Du Pont is currently applying for approval to operate a new $40 million commercial hazardous waste incinerator capable of burning 70,000,000 pounds of hazardous waste per year. (19) if completed, this incinerator will burn wastes from Chambers Works and other Du Pont facilities, as well those of other companies. Once operational, the new incinerator will add at least 7,000 pounds per year of unburned hazardous waste to Chamber Work's already-massive airborne toxics emissions. Du Pont has released no estimates of the quantities of fugitive toxics that escape into the air from leaky valves, during materials transfers, from the open wastewater ditches, etc. An EPA report estimated fugitive emissions at one hazardous waste incinerator to be more than 10,000 pounds per year -- more than the quantity of toxics emitted in the incinerator's stack gases. (20) 3 [Entered Greenbase May 6, 1991 ] DU PONT CHAMBERS WORKS 1987 TOXICS REPORT GREENPEACE APRIL 1988 Du Pont Chambers Works: 1987 Annual Toxics Report Toxic Raw Materials, Toxic Products and Toxic Wastes --------------------page 4 of 13 TOXICS IN WORKERS Problems with toxics exposure among Chambers Works workers were first reported in the 1920's when 8 workers died and 300 more became ill due to exposure to tetraethyl lead (TEL). Although other manufacturers stopped TEL production, Du Pont continued. (21) TEL is one of dozens of toxic contaminants found in groundwater at Chambers Works and is still produced there. In Du Pont's 1936 Annual Report the deaths and illnesses of workers were described as part of the "slow and gradual toll which humanity has always paid, and perhaps must always pay, for the conquest of new and dangerous ground.' The 1987 Annual Report reflects a slightly different approach, explaining that "1987 was not a year in which [we) lived up to our own high standards" of safety. In 1974, the National Cancer Institute reported that Salem County, N.J., home of Du Pont Chambers Works, had the highest rate of bladder cancer for white males in the U.S. between 1950 and 1969. The problem evidently started in 1919 with the production of beta-napthylamine (BNA),identified in 1931 as a carcinogen. By 1938, Switzerland had banned BNA, and in 1949 the Manufacturing Chemists Association admitted that -"there was no safe, allowable exposure." Du Pont stopped making BNA in 1955. (22) Another Chambers Works product, benzidine, was positively identified as a carcinogen in 1952-54. Du Pont continued production until 1965. (23) According to the Chemical Workers Union which represents workers at Chambers Works, worker hazards continue to the present. Du Pont's own air monitoring data show that workers are still exposed to high levels of lead at the facility. Last year, four company officials were convicted of concealing asbestos hazards from employees who were suffering from asbestosis. (24) Currently, union representatives at Chambers Works contend the company has not cooperated with the union by supplying them with the information necessary to understand and evaluate the proposed new incinerator. (25) TOXICS IN THE U.S. POPULATION Meanwhile, evidence supporting the need for immediate reductions in the use and production of toxic chemicals continues - to grow. Xenobiotics -- chemicals that are alien to all known life forms -- that are used and produced at chemical facilities, such as Du Pont Chambers Works, are now commonly found in the flesh of U.S. citizens. 4 [Entered Greenbase May 6, 1991 ] DU PONT CHAMBERS WORKS 1987 TOXICS REPORT GREENPEACE APRIL 1988 Du Pont Chambers Works: 1987 Annual Toxics Report Toxic Raw Materials, Toxic Products and Toxic Wastes --------------------page 5 of 13 Reports released by EPA in 1986 indicate that 9 out of 10 U.S. citizens can be expected to carry detectable levels of such toxic chemicals as benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, styrene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, xylene, and ethylphenol. (For further details, see Table 6.) (26) SOURCE REDUCTION OF TOXICS Source reduction of toxics -- ending the production and use of toxics, particularly those that are persistent and bioaccumulative -- is the only available means for protecting public health and the environment from the devastating effects of these alien chemicals. Source reduction includes raw material substitution, process and product redesign, on-site recycling, modernization, and all other tactics that avoid the generation of toxic products and toxic wastes. Experiences with the growing list of banned biocides as well as the impending global ban of Freons attest to the wisdom and the necessity of knowing when to stop toxics. Evidence of the pervasiveness of persistent toxics in the bodies of U.S. citizens demands immediate action from decision makers in all sectors, but particularly from the officers of E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and other corporations that use and manufacture such chemicals. In many instances, as with the Freons, the only appropriate response is to stop production and replace the toxics-based processes and products with alternatives that are, at the very least, benign to biological and planetary processes. As the world's major producer of Freons, Du Pont has been reluctant to relinquish these lucrative products. However reluctantly, the company has announced their intent to reduce production of Freons, although no timetable has been set for cessation. When production of Freons has been completely halted, Du Pont's decision makers are to be congratulated for their wisdom and responsibility. With equal wisdom and responsibility, these same decision makers at Du Pont and other chemical manufacturing facilities must recognize and act within technological, economic, environmental, and biological limitations. Du Pont and its peers must abandon toxics-based technologies and move rapidly toward those that are fully compatible with biological and planetary processes. * Technologies for completely containing synthetic toxic chemicals are either non-existent or unaffordable for Du Pont and similar companies, as the pervasiveness of toxics in the environment and in various lifeforms, including humans, attests. * Technologies for completely recovering synthetic toxics from industrial wastestreams and air emissions also appear to be non- existent or unaffordable, as the massive loss of chemicals to the environment at Du Pont Chambers Works attests. - 5 - [Entered Greenbase May 6, 1991 ] DU PONT CHAMBERS WORKS 1987 TOXICS REPORT GREENPEACE APRIL 1988 Du Pont Chambers Works: 1987 Annual Toxics Report Toxic Raw Materials, Toxic Products and Toxic Wastes --------------------page 6 of 13 * Completely detoxifying/destroying synthetic toxic chemicals by incineration "is likewise still impossible or unaffordable, as voluminous scientific evidence of the toxic emissions and residues from incinerators attests. Source reduction of toxics is the only realistic strategy for the continued growth and prosperity of Du Pont and other chemical manufacturers. Management at Du Pont Chambers Works has set a goal of reducing the generation of toxic wastes at this facility by 35 percent by 1990, relative to the quantities generated in 1982. (27) This goal is commendable... if the reduction is not simply a reflection of reduced water content; if the reduction is -lot based on supposed destruction technologies, such as incineration, which shift the predominant points of impact of toxics from the water and soil to the air and soil. * if the reduction is not only 35 percent in quantity but also a 35 percent reduction in relative toxicity, and * if this 4. 3 percent per year reduction is accelerated and continued to a final, goal of zero discharge of toxic wastes to the Delaware River, groundwater, air and soil. Du Pont Chambers Works now has the opportunity to serve as a model of corporate integrity and responsibility by strengthening source reduction efforts and by continuing to weed out and replace those processes and products that are detrimental to biological and planetary processes. Contamination of people and their environment by persistent, bioaccumulative toxics is not an inevitable fact of modern life... it is the product of scientific naivete, technological limitations, and greed. Du Pont needs an aggressive source reduction program that includes a plan and a timetable for reducing toxics use and toxic waste generation...to achieve the goal of zero toxics. 6 [Entered Greenbase May 6, 1991 ] DU PONT CHAMBERS WORKS 1987 TOXICS REPORT GREENPEACE APRIL 1988 Du Pont Chambers Works: 1987 Annual Toxics Report Toxic Raw Materials, Toxic Products and Toxic Wastes --------------------page 7 of 13 TABLE 1 Toxics Reported By Du Pont Chambers Works As NPDES Discharges To Delaware River Average Discharge Pollutant Pounds/Year Antimony 4,051.5 Arsenic 365.0 Barium 912.5 Cadmium 94.9 Chromium, hexavalent 0.06 Chromium, total 1,551.2 Copper 4,343.5 Cyanide 8,869.5 Fluoride 655,832.0 Iron 18,505.5 Lead 6,716.0 Manganese 25,732.5 Mercury 2.9 Nickel 3,759.5 Selenium 102.2 Zinc 9,088.5 Phenolics 18,870.5 Surfactants 25,258.0 TOTAL REPORTED WASTES DISCHARGED DIRECTLY TO DELAWARE RIVER: 784,077 POUNDS/YEAR *These data were calculated from Discharge Monitoring Reports submitted to NJDEP during January, June and November, 1987. -7- [Entered Greenbase May 6, 1991 ] DU PONT CHAMBERS WORKS 1987 TOXICS REPORT GREENPEACE APRIL 1988 Du Pont Chambers Works: 1987 Annual Toxics Report Toxic Raw Materials, Toxic Products and Toxic Wastes --------------------page 8 of 13 TABLE 2 Priority Pollutants Discharged to Delaware River from Du Pont Chambers Works 1987 Average Quantity Chemical Pounds per year Chlorobenzene 746 Chloroethane 10,559 Chloroform 1,1092 1,2-Dichloroethane 64,834 Methylene chloride 19,553 Tetrachloroethylene 570 Toluene 5,902 1,1,1-Trichloroethane 273 2,4-Dimethylphenol 1,413 4,6-Dinitro-o-cresol 3,124 2-Nitrophenol 15,040 Phenol 278 Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate 752 Butyl benzyl phthalate 1,686 1,2-Dichlorobenzene 12,125 Di-n-butylphthalate 297 2,4-Dinitrotoluene 9,692 Di-n-octylphthalate 193 Isophorone 136 Naphthalene 931 Nitrobenzene 1,212 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene 87 TOTAL 150,495 pounds/year Source: E.I.
