PAGE 8 -THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 19. 1981 Farm group against foam STEPHANIE LEVESQUE Residents in Perth County had the opportunity to register as'members of the Perth County Homeowners with Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation on August 17. This meeting followed a July 27 sleeting held in St. Marys in which residents from all across the county attended. Residents from Huron County were invited to the August 17 meeting. Robert Ostler of St. Marys originally started the meetings, after discovering that his house was insulated with Urea Formaldehyde Foam. What started as a meeting for citizens in St. Marys, snowballed into a county -wide concern. "I felt the people of St. Marys weren't aware of the trouble (with the foam)," said Mr. Ostler. Mr. Ostler attended meetings in London where Health and Welfare Canada presented its final advisory information on UFFI. Mr. Ostler termed the findings "hideous". A permanent ban on UFFI was placed in the spring of this year by the, federal government. Mr. Ostler said the HUFFI organization sprouting up across Canada aren't meant to go after anybody, rather they would like to see the federal government provide financial assistance in removing the UFFI from Canadian homes. A con- servative figure of -homes af- fected in Canada is 100,000. Mr. Ostler pointed out that if there is a national disaster, such as flooding, the government provides financial aid. "This is a quiet, insidious thing," Mr. Ostler said of the UFFI. Mr. Ostler said he couldn't, say what the effects of the UFFI are, but there have been reports .of ,respiratory problems and nausea. "It's a non -stable_ pro- duct," said Mr. Ostler. Another problem is the resale value of the house. Mr. Ostler said he has heard that - a real estate board around London would not list houses insulated with the Urea Formaldehyde Foam. "We (HUFFI) have • lost the„ ability of turning our assets (house) into cash," said Mr. Ostler. Mr. Ostler said the history of UFFI goes back to use in the United States and Europe during the mid - fifties. It was first used in Canada in 1969, after being accepted by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration. In 1970, CMHC found the UFFI unacceptable because it was found to shrink. In 1977, the CMHC reaccepted UFFI as a safe product. The. problem of shrinkage was apparently solved. Also in 1977, the Canadian Home Im- provement Program (CHIP) accepted UFFI. In 1978, Dr. R. Viau, Con- sumer and Corporate Affairs chemical director, warns of the use of UFFI. In1979, 1979, testing with ratsshows a link to cancer with low emission of gas from UFFI- An accep- table level is .05 parts per million. Some homes have a level of 2.6 parts per million. In November of 1979, the television program Market Place raises concerns on UFFI. In the same month, the state of Massachusetts bans the sale of UFFI and orders it removed from public buildings. During the year 1980, many new developments take place. The province of Saskatchewan investigates the problem, the United States, after reports, issues warnings on the product, and Health and Welfare Canada sets up a special committee. In November, the U.S. Con- sumer Products Corporation reports cancer links are a threat to humans. On Dec. 17 of that year, Health and Welfare Canada puts a tem- porary ban on UFFI. On April 23, of this year, following a final report from the committee set up by Health and Welfare Canada, UFFI is permanently bann- ed in Canada. Resides setting up HUFFI organizations throughout the country, Mr. Ostler said a petition is being signed by Tun to page C FAMILY VA ATI'N VEL WITH.....
