sons
To date we have had indications that about fifty per-
sons will attend The sessions will be held at the Du Pont
/ Country Club It is expected that the total cost of holding
this conference exclusive of attendees travel expenses when
distributed on a per capita basis will amount to ten to twenty
dollars per person I should receive advance of the meeting
a general ledger account with appropriate accounts to cover
the per capita cost for each person who expects to attend
Additional information regarding exact locations and times and more about the format of the second day's session will be forthcoming shortly

ASBESTOS CONFERENCE
It is proposed that a company conference be held on the subject of the possible risk of injury to the health of employees arising out of the use of asbestos and asbestos products and on
the means of effectively eliminating the risk
Reason for the Conference
Mankind's knowledge of the health effects of inhaled asbestos including asbestosis pulmonary carcinoma and mesothelioma has been and is being appraised in the light of new knowledge
and evaluation of older facts Standards that have been
developed and used over the years for the control of inhalation and its health effects are undergoing reappraisal
As an engineering guide for the dustofidn use tis nes ss the
Threshold Limit Value of five million particles per cubic foot of air has been useful in reducing the occurrence of cases of the type of pneumonoconiosis known as asbestosis The modern day appreciation of an increased incidence of pulmonary carcinoma among persons who have asbestosis and are cigarette smokers and the recognition of mesotheliomas among persons with histories of asbestos exposures have brought about extensive reexamination of our standarda It has become necessary to critically review and examine the levels of control of dustiness in Du Pont shops
Persons having responsibility and concern in these matters representing several of the manufacturing departments have contacted Haskell Laboratory for advice on the levels of
and fibrous dust control that is necessary on the methods of
evaluating the effectiveness of control measures They and others are faced with the necessity of making decisions involv-
ing choices of methods of proceeding
Purpose
Conference
Conference
The Conference woulbde expected to satisfy the needs that
have emerged by bringing together people with specialized knowledge of the asbestos problem with those in the Company who bear the responsibility of defining for Plant Management and Departmental Management the needs that exist and of recommending the
means of controlling the hazard
There has been intelligent concern in this country about the health problems of asbestos since the decade of the thirties This has been apparent from the efforts put forth by the medical profession industrial management labor unions

ASBESTOS CONFERENCE CONT'D
government agencies and independent scientific investigators
There are experts on each of the major aspects of the problem
1 The mineralogy of asbestos
2 Disease conditions produced by inhalation
of asbestos
3 The epidemiology of health effects from
asbestos inhalation
4 The measurement and control of exposures
to asbestos inhalation
5 Compensation of employees for disease produced by asbestos inhalation
The Conference would present an exposition of the first four of these aspects so that Du Pont needs could be recognized and dealt with in a unified manner
Structure of the Conference
The Conference would consist of two principal parts
So
A A presentation by experts of the facts concerning
1 the nature and extent of the health problem 2
the relationships between degree of exposure to asbestos inhalation and health effects and 3 methods of
controlling asbestos inhalation and for measuring the
effectiveness of control
B A discussion among Du Pont personnel representing the various departments covering 1 things to be done and 2 a consensus agreement on methods
in In order to obtain the advice and views of experts who have
devoted major portions of their time and attention to the asbes-
tos problem its several aspects it would be desirable to
invite scientists and
engineers from outside Du Pont to partici-
"
pata in Part A.
.
It would not be necessary for them to participate in Part B in fact advantages are foreseen in limiting attendance at Part B
to authorized Du Pont personnel

CONFERENCE CONT'D
PROPOSED AGENDA
Part A
The types of asbestos minerals Mineralogy sources uses quantities used
History and description of diseases produced by the inhalation of asbestos
The incidence of asbestos diseases and distribution of cases
The measurement of asbestos fibers and particles in the air of work places
Acceptable concentrations of asbestos in the air
in work places
Part B
Panel Discussion
1. The occurrence and use of asbestos and asbestos
products in Du Pont operations
2. Should there be a standardized method of collect-
ing and evaluating air samples for asbestos con-
centrations If so what is the methoodf choice
3. What should be regarded as acceptable concentra-
tions of asbestos in the air in Du Pont work
places
4 Medical studies to correlate environmental con-
ditions with the health experience of Du Pont
