and back and back to the crash drawing spills spoil waterways in Florida Wisconsin Associated Press A dredge vessel sank in a river channel Saturday near Fernandi-n- a Beach Fla and was leaking thousands of gallons of oil that spread over more than a mile threatening beaches and sensitive marshlands officials said Meanwhile in Wauwatosa Wis crews with siphon hoses worked along a creek to clean up some 128000 gallons of oil that officials said caused no serious environmental damage In Florida the vessel was dredging the St Mary’s River channel which straddles the Georgia-Florid- a line when waves crashed over its bow causing it to flood and sink said Capt Robert O’Pezio of the US Coast Guard the coordinator “The people on board ended up in the water” said Dave Kelly a Coast Guard damage control officer “They didn’t have time to get 168-fo- ot on-sce- off” Seven crew members from the dredge were plucked from the water as it sank near the entrance to the deep channel he said The ship held 40000 gallons of diesel fuel and was leaking about 500 gallons an hour From a helicopter an oil slick could be seen drifting into the Atlantic Ocean and pushing south50-fo- ot ward about a mile from Fernandina Beach O’Pezio said The slick extended at least a mile from the dredge and was at least a mile wide Choppy seas were breaking the fuel into streaks which drifted two to three miles west into the St Marys River in the direction of the sensitive Cumberland Sound and Amelia River wetland areas No fuel appears to have entered those areas yet O’Pezio said In the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa Bob Wimmer assistant fire chief said the heating oil hole in poured from a two-foan underground pipe for 18 minutes before pumps were shut down The leak was discovered early Saturday The leak’s cause was unclear Wimmer said Residents who reported an oil odor were told it carried no health hazard Dean Kelley spill coordinator for the state Depart ot ment of Natural Resources said the fumes were the same as those when fuel is being fed to a dwelling’s furnace tank Oil traveled about five miles through Underwood Creek into the Menomonee River a tributary of Lake Michigan Authorities said no oil reached the lake harbor Underwood Creek is lined with concrete which should prevent contamination to drinking water users have more miscarriages VDT NEW YORK (AP) — A study carriages among those who use the terminals more than 20 hours a week the Times said Some experts have suggested that electromagnetic radiation from VDTs may be able to aiter or disrupt cellular development About 15 million VDTs are in use in the United States and about 3 million more are added annually according to the VDT News an industry newsletter About half the estimated 10 million people who use the machines on the job are women of childbearing age the Times said The researchers surveyed 1583 pregnant women in northern California The study found increased risks of miscarriage in both the first and second trimesters of pregnancy for all women who worked with video display terminals for more than 20 hours a week No statistically significant increase was found for women who had used the terminals less than 20 hours a week the researchers said Preliminary results of a University of Michigan study of 728 state employees in Michigan released last September found that pregnant women working at VDTs less than 20 hours a week faced no increased risk of nearly 1600 pregnant women found that those who used video display terminals for more than 20 hours each week in the first three months of pregnancy suffered almost twice as many miscarriages as women who did not according to a published report The findings did not necessarily mean that the terminals them- selves had caused low-lev- the miscarriages said the authors of the study researchers at the Medical Care Program in Oakland Calif The New York Times reported in today's editions that such unmeasured factors as stress and poor working conditions could also have been responsible The results of the study appear in the June issue of The American Journal of Industrial Medicine The researchers called for more elaborate studies The researchers found that heavy users of VDTs were more likely to have children with birth defects but the increase was not statistically significant the researchers said The findings were
