Three internal Union Carbide Chemicals and Plastics (South Charleston, W. Va.) letters from August 1978 about asbestos tape insulation. The first, from D. L. MacPeek to G. F. Hurley, asked for the basis for the position that installing new tape insulation needs no special precautions. The second, from J. W. Forth to supervisors on August 8, said the Environmental Health Department had ruled that installing new asbestos tape needed no special precautions but that removal did. The third, from Hurley to MacPeek on August 14, restated the position and cited worker monitoring results.
