T. E. Hanning to S. W. Clark and Others on an Asbestos Update: Proposed EPA Ban and OSHA Exposure Limit (1986)

One-page memorandum "for your information" reporting that labor unions were endorsing a proposed EPA asbestos ban and contended OSHA's 0.2 fibers per cubic centimeter limit gave insufficient protection. It also summarized the proposed rule, which would ban five asbestos products outright and phase out other uses over 10 years.
