Inter-company letter from Henry F. Smyth, Jr. to Dr. T. W. Nale reporting an off-the-record phone call from V. K. Rowe of Dow with incomplete data from a six-month repeated inhalation study of vinyl chloride at 100, 200 and 500 ppm. It also reports that Dow found chloroform similar to carbon tetrachloride in six-month inhalation tests, and asks that the personal communications not be quoted until Dow publishes. The document concerns vinyl chloride and chloroform, not asbestos.
