Report of the NIOSH-OSHA Asbestos Work Group (dated April 1980, published November 1980), addressed to OSHA head Eula Bingham and NIOSH Director Anthony Robbins. The group found no evidence of a threshold or 'safe' level of asbestos exposure and called the 2 fibers/cc standard grossly inadequate. It recommended one standard for all fiber types and a broader definition of asbestos that includes fibrous tremolite, actinolite and anthophyllite. It also urged lowering the limit to the lowest detectable level, 0.1 fiber/cc. The complete booklet includes the cover, the committee memorandum and an updated review of nomenclature, sampling methods, animal studies and epidemiology, with references.
