Draft testimony presented by Harrison B. Rhodes of Union Carbide on August 15, 1977 regarding 16 CFR Parts 1304 and 1305 and the proposal to ban certain asbestos patching compounds and artificial emberizing materials. It summarizes airborne asbestos exposure data from sanding, mixing and cleanup of tape-joint compounds, argues the consumer risk is low, and recommends a 2 percent asbestos limit and a warning label instead of a ban.
