Excerpt from the EPA/CPSC-sponsored proceedings of the July 1980 national workshop on substitutes for asbestos, consisting of the cover page, a paper by Earl S. Flowers on chemically treating asbestos fibers with iron salts and other metal oxides to reduce cytotoxicity, and the question-and-answer discussion that followed. The paper reported in vitro tests on human lung macrophage cells and physical-property comparisons of treated fiber; workshop participants questioned the stability, toxicity and fiber-size controls of the approach.
