Internal Union Carbide memo from the Associate Medical Director to C. E. Metten on the toxicity of Calidria asbestos. It describes an injection test in rats and rabbits comparing Calidria with a standard long fibre asbestos. It recommends the same precautions against breathing asbestos dust for both, and says there was no information yet on Calidria and lung cancer or mesothelioma. Copies went to M. B. VerNooy, W. J. Fitzpatrick, W. G. Farrell and John Meyers; a received stamp from UCC-Calidria, King City, is dated April 6, 1970.
