D. E. Deese to T. L. Rapp on the Asbestos Training Film, with Attached Pages on Chrysotile Structure (1973)

Page 1 is an internal letter in which an industrial hygienist complains to T. L. Rapp that he was not consulted on the content of a video tape to train craftsmen to protect themselves from asbestos exposure. Pages 2-4 are an undated, unsigned technical text on the chemistry, structure and identification of chrysotile fibers, followed by a reference list. They appear to come from a different document.
