Martin S. Maier to Dr. Paul Cartier on Dust and Fiber Counting (1956)

A one-page letter of June 13, 1956, from Martin S. Maier, head of the physics section of Raybestos-Manhattan's research and product development department, to Dr. Paul Cartier of the Asbestos Medical Center at Thetford Mines, Quebec. Maier thanked Cartier and Mr. La Chance for his visit and wrote that the people at his company were "very interested" in the distinction between dust and fibers, "as we have felt that this was probably the proper way to evaluate health hazards, but we had not gone into the problem to that extent." He asked Cartier to measure the dust and fiber content of one sample from the company's mill.
