Consultant Barry Castleman's typed critique, with handwritten marginal notes, of Union Carbide's 7/14/77 letter to the CPSC and the air-sampling data from a drywall patching-compound repair job in a house. It questions the sampling method, the time-averaging and the electron microscopy, and disputes Carbide's requests for a 1% asbestos limit and warning labels. Page 3 is an outline of a statement to the CPSC on asbestos hazards, product liability suits, and Carbide's continued asbestos markets.
