Letter from a Mount Sinai Environmental Sciences Laboratory scientist to the EPA's Assistant Administrator for Pesticides and Toxic Substances, asking that it replace his October 11, 1984 remarks as a formal critique of the NRDC petition to prohibit asbestos in automobile brakes. It disputes the petition's cancer-death figures, its use of insulation-worker data, and its fiber-type claims, while agreeing that brake maintenance and repair can expose workers to asbestos.
