One-page memo from the Associate Medical Director to a Chemicals & Plastics contact in Los Angeles on the toxicity of Calidria asbestos. It says asbestos has little acute toxicity and that harm usually appears after 15-20 years of exposure. It reports that Calidria was injected into rats and rabbits and was slightly more fibrogenic than standard long-fibre asbestos. It advises assuming Calidria will behave like other asbestos with respect to lung cancer and mesothelioma.
