Trudean Foundation January 17, 1941 Mr. Carl G. Staelin Owens-Corning Fiberglass Corporation Toledo, Ohio Dear Mr. Staelin: I have no objection whatsoever in your mentioning the work which we are doing to the members of the Industrial commission of Ohio when they inspect your Newark Plant. Incidentally, you may say that animals exposed to fiberglas for a year's time fail to inhale any glass in fibrous form. A little of the granulated material produced in fracturing this material gets into the lungs in the form of particulate matter and there sets up very slight amounts of benign chronic inflammatory reaction. However, I feel quite positive that we are not going to encounter any evidence of an asbestos-like reaction because none of the fiber reaches the interior of the lungs. Z' Sincerely yours. Leroy U.
