Internal Union Carbide memo from the Assistant Corporate Medical Director commenting on an IRDA item, "Further Evidence that Asbestos is not Genotoxic." He wrote that the in vitro findings could not be related to human exposure, that promoters have no no-effect level, and that the only safe way to handle asbestos is to reduce exposure to the lowest possible level or find substitutes.
