Internal correspondence from the Medical Department's Associate Medical Director to C. E. Metten about the toxicity of Calidria asbestos. It describes a rat and rabbit intraperitoneal injection test comparing Calidria with standard long fibre asbestos and states the same dust precautions should be observed. It also says no information existed on Calidria and lung cancer or mesothelioma, and that it would be prudent to assume Calidria behaves like other asbestos.
