A March 1966 memorandum from A. E. Pufahl reported that New York newspapers had revived publicity about asbestos dust as a health hazard after the opening of a Mount Sinai environmental health laboratory. It directed recipients to give customers Dr. Dernehl's Asbestos Toxicology Report and to promote Union Carbide pelleted asbestos as a low-dust product. Attached are two newspaper articles on Dr. Selikoff's asbestos and cancer findings and the two-page Union Carbide Asbestos Toxicology Report by C. U. Dernehl and K. S. Lane.
