Paper by Union Carbide's Calidria asbestos technology manager, presented at the Society of Plastics Engineers NATEC meeting in Denver, November 8-10, 1977. It reports 1976 U.S. asbestos consumption, airborne fiber measurements for tape-joint compound, roofing and coating products, and a Consumer Product Safety Commission risk estimate. It criticizes the CPSC's "no safe level for a carcinogen" and zero-risk approach and proposes a risk-benefit alternative.
