Internal Union Carbide memo from the Research and Development Department, South Charleston, concerning asbestos and PRESTONE canning. It said P. G. Bonin's March 18, 1969 precautions on inhaling asbestos fibers were correct except for the advice to get air-sampling information from HEW, and advised that UCC medical and industrial hygiene personnel should be used instead. It described the HEW-recommended membrane filter method with microscope counting and offered sampling help and counting at South Charleston.
