A Union Carbide internal letter from Associate Medical Director C. U. Dernehl to J. A. Riddle at King City. It says that he and Dr. Lane viewed the use of asbestos in cigarette paper and filters 'with a very considerable amount of concern' and did not consider it an appropriate use. It is followed by a Calidria Asbestos 'Asbestos Toxicology Report' from the Industrial Medicine and Toxicology Department, dated 5/8/69. The report discusses asbestosis, threshold limit values, cancer and mesothelioma, dust control, monitoring and medical exams, and concludes that asbestos can be used safely with appropriate precautions.
