EMPLOYES RELATIONS DEPARTMENT MEDICAL DIVISION WILMINGTON, DELAWARE !3IT * tarrh-p i '/ October II, 1968 TO: ALL PLANT PHYSICIANS FRCM: C. ANTHONY D'ALONZO, M. D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR In my letter of August 1, 1968, I requested the names of workers exposed to asbestos. Several physicians since then have asked whether workers exposed sporadically should''be included in the list. We would like to include only those exposed regularly for at least eight hours per month, such as laggers, pipecoverers, insulators, and workers in areas contaminated with asbestos dust. Do not include workers exposed irregularly for short periods of time. You will find enclosed some interesting reprints which we hope might be helpful to you. Briefly, these deal with the problem of smoking, some hazards of oxygen therapy, the very useful suggescion on clearing an acutely blocked euscachian cube, Che biochemical changes relating" to hypertension, and some thoughts on the detection of diabetes mellitus. I am also enclosing a reprint of ours, which we hope you will find interesting. We thought that the comments dealing with cardiovascular disease among problem drinkers would be useful. We are attempting to find out the extent to which beryllium might be used within the Company, and Dr. Zahn's letter to Medical Supervisors on this item is enclosed.
