Page 4 In its written comment to OSHA on behalf of the c^bestos industry the Asbestos Information Association/ North America stated: " Since there is no new evidence to indicate that the 2 f/cc TWA standard adopted in 1972 does not adequately pro tect the health of the working population, it would be grossly inequitable and a denial of due process to lower the standard at this time."
