Letter from the Asbestos International Association's Director-General to the ACGIH asking that its proposed threshold limit values for crocidolite and amosite be modified, with an attached commentary by Dr. Richard Gaze. The commentary argues that the evidence does not justify separate, lower TLVs for crocidolite (0.2 f/cc) and amosite (0.5 f/cc), reviews asbestos-cement industry and other studies, and lists 20 references.
