A. E. Pufahl to T. Dougherty and Others on Asbestos Toxicology and Customer Response to Mt. Sinai Publicity (1966)

Memorandum dated March 22, 1966, on the subject 'Asbestos - Toxicology.' It responds to New York newspaper coverage of the new Mt. Sinai Hospital environmental health laboratory and its asbestos dust and cancer findings. It tells the recipients to give customers Dr. Dernehl's Asbestos Toxicology Report, to promote Union Carbide pelleted asbestos as a low-dust product, and to state that no work had presented incontrovertible proof of a cancer-asbestos relationship. Two newspaper clippings are attached.
