A two-page report from Union Carbide's Industrial Medicine and Toxicology Department summarizing what was known about asbestos and health: asbestosis, the 5 million particles per cubic foot threshold limit value (and the planned lowering to 2), lung cancer, and mesothelioma. It also described dust control methods, environmental monitoring, pre-employment and periodic physical examinations including chest X-rays, and concluded that asbestos can be used safely with appropriate precautions.
