In releasing the first nationwide summary of toxic emissions, a top Environmental Protection Agency official said the enormous amount of chemicals released was "unacceptably high" and that the report underlined the need for industry to reduce toxic type of AIDS in Americas Bush nominates former second type of AIDS virus has an apparently spread from Africa to the Americas, ominous development that may complicate the already daunting epidemic, researchers reported Wednesday. Researchers found a small but significant percentage individuals in Brazil were infected with of high-ris- k HIV-a cousin of the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, which causes most AIDS cases. HIV-- 2 also has been shown to cause the deadly disease. "HIV-- 2 has spread to the Amercias," said Dr. David Ho, director of the AIDS virology laboratory at the Cedars-SinMedical Center in Los Angeles who helped conduct the new research. "It's not a pathogen to be taken lightly." It's unclear how common the virus is elsewhere in the regions, and the spread of the virus does not pose any new problems immediately, experts said. But the virus eventually could make it more difficult BOSTON pollution. Worse, EPA officials said the figure of 22.5 billion pounds undoubtedly underestimates the actual amount of toxic materials emissions from smaller companies and certain industries. The EPA report is the compilation of more than 75,000 annual toxic release disclosure forms filed with industrial facilities across the nation. The reports were right-to-kno- w" ai provisions of the 1986 Superfund reauthorization law.

For example, she said many chemical releases may be rapidly dispersed by wind or water currents. "The numbers are startling. They are unacceptably high and far beyond what we thought was occurring. It gives us a picture that, quite frankly, we don't like the looks of. We just are producing too much toxic material to protect the blood supply, may speed the development of AIDS in infected patients and could make it harder to develop AIDS vaccines, experts said. "You're not only dealing with the spread of one agent but two agents," said Ho in a telephone interview. HIV is the major cause of acquired immune deficiency syndrome worldwide. HIV-- discovered in 1986, is closely related to HIV but is believed to be in this country," Fisher said. Overall, Fisher said EPA officials hope their report 2, astronaut to head NASA Adm.

Bush presided over a White House ceremony presenting the successor to James Fletcher, the former University of Utah president who retired from his second stint as agency chief after returning in the wake of Challenger. "Today, I am pleased to announce my intention to nominate Admiral Dick Truly to serve as the administrator of NASA," said Bush, flanked by Vice President Dan Quayle, Truly, Fletcher and Dale Myers, deputy administrator of NASA. "This marks the first time in its distinguished history that NASA will be led by a hero of its own making, an astronaut who has been to space, a man who has uniquely experienced NASA's tremendous teamwork and achievement." While Truly, 51, was a clear choice to take the reigns of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the White House has yet to name someone to the agency's No. 2 post.
