Letter from Union Carbide's Associate Medical Director to Dr. T. J. Hall in Geneva reviewing the report "Asbestos as a Health Hazard in the United Kingdom" by I. C. Sayers, which he found reasonably accurate. It describes preliminary injection studies in guinea pigs, rats and rabbits comparing Coalinga fiber with Johns Manville fiber. It also comments on the 5 million particles per cubic foot Threshold Limit Value and supports trace element analysis of a standard asbestos sample.
