A one-page letter from K. S. Lane, M.D., of Union Carbide's Health, Safety and Environmental Affairs department to Dr. R. H. Rucker at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. It lists six criteria for diagnosing asbestosis attributed to Dr. Edward Gaensler, says any four of the six confirm the diagnosis, and adds that pleural calcifications are almost always due to asbestosis.
