A cover memo from the AIA/NA Executive Director reported on the task force schedule for the April 9 OSHA comment deadline and forwarded a statement by the association's medical consultant, Dr. Hans Weill. The 25-page statement (with references and a CV) reviewed the studies OSHA cited for lowering the asbestos standard to 0.5 fibers/ml and argued that the evidence did not justify the change from the 2 fiber/ml standard.
