A one-page Union Carbide reply message dated 2/2/72 from E. A. Piersall calls an attached report 'quite disturbing' and says he would visit with Glen Sutton about it. The attached item is a U.S. Bureau of Mines health study of asbestos dust at the Calidria plant in King City, based on sampling on October 4-6, 1971. It reports fiber concentrations measured against a 5 fibers/ml limit and lists control recommendations. The report is followed by appendix tables, which are largely garbled in the OCR.
