Prepared statement of Dr. George W. Wright at the U.S. Department of Labor hearing on the proposed occupational asbestos standard. He reviews the dose-risk data behind existing asbestos standards, supports the OSHA emergency standard of 5 fibers/cc, and criticizes the NIOSH Criteria Document's proposed 2 fibers/cc standard. He also says mesothelioma is linked mainly to crocidolite and amosite rather than to chrysotile alone.
