Memorandum dated March 22, 1966, responding to New York newspaper reports on a new Mt. Sinai Hospital environmental health laboratory and asbestos dust as a health hazard. It tells recipients to give customers Dr. Dernehl's Asbestos Toxicology Report, to promote Union Carbide pellets as a low-dust way to handle asbestos, and to state that no work had presented incontrovertible proof of a relationship between cancer and asbestos. Attached are newspaper clippings on the Mt. Sinai/Selikoff findings.
