Vol. 267 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Polychlorinated Terphenyl.

55.

asked the Minister for Health if he has any reports of polychlorinated terphenyl in human bodies.

I have had no reports of the presence of polychlorinated terphenyl in the human body.

I might mention that these substances have an extremely limited usage here—principally in the manufacture of electrical circuits—and that the Department of Labour have indicated that they are not aware of any dangers to health arising in this field.
