Memo from the Medical Department's Associate Medical Director on the toxicity of Calidria asbestos. It reports that Calidria injected intraperitoneally into rats and rabbits was slightly more fibrogenic than a standard long fibre asbestos. It concludes that the same precautions against breathing asbestos dust apply to Calidria, and says it would be prudent to assume Calidria would behave like other asbestos regarding lung cancer and mesothelioma.
