Internal Union Carbide memo in which the Assistant Corporate Medical Director comments on an IRDA item, "Further Evidence that Asbestos is not Genotoxic." He says the in vitro findings cannot be related to human exposure, that promoters can produce a response with sufficient time and dose, and that there is no such thing as a no-effect level. He gives his opinion that the only safe way to handle asbestos is to reduce exposure to the lowest possible level or find substitutes.
