Hall wrote to Dexter about reports of asbestos toxicity and carcinogenicity, dock workers in England refusing to handle bagged asbestos, and a damaged shipment with broken bags. He confirmed that Union Carbide would join a cooperative standard-sample comparison, with samples sent to Niagara Falls for trace element analysis. The enclosed June 7, 1967 letter from Dernehl to Hall reviewed the Sayers report on asbestos as a health hazard in the U.K. and described preliminary injection studies of Coalinga fiber in guinea pigs, rats and rabbits.
