He describes preliminary injection studies of Coalinga (Calidria) fiber in guinea pigs, rats and rabbits, compared with a Johns-Manville long fiber, and comments on the 5 million particles per cubic foot Threshold Limit Value and mesothelioma. He also supports a Pneumoconiosis Research Council request for trace element analysis of a standard asbestos sample. A copy line names C. U. Dernehl, M.D.
