A 19-page color sales booklet for Johns-Manville chrysotile asbestos fiber, form AF-82A dated 1-81, a revised edition of J-M's 1976 fiber booklet. It describes the mineral, world chrysotile production in 1977, the Jeffrey Mine of Johns-Manville Canada Inc. (said to produce about 38 percent of Canadian and 11 percent of world output), fiber grades and testing, packaging and uses. Its health page repeats that asbestos health risks "are essentially confined to the job setting" and that there was "no evidence" that community exposure presented "any hazard whatsoever to the general public."

What it shows
The 1981 health statement is almost word for word the one in the 1976 edition, with one added phrase: the need to deal with occupational health problems now came from "recent scientific advances and our increased medical knowledge" as well as from asbestos's wider use. J-M was still promoting asbestos fiber for new uses the year before its bankruptcy filing.
