GPL CC Mr. J. M. Boyston - New York Mr. R. E. Davis - Newark Mr. F. M. Edwards - Toledo Mr. M. M. Marsh Jr. - Newark I have reviewed the general problem of the dust hazard of insulations and their effect upon humans Asbestos as found in Kaylo when breathed into the lungs causes asbestosis which often leads to lung cancer Manville denies that this is true I have reprints of three medical articles on the subject One article describes the case history and autopsy of an insulator who died of lung cancer he also smoked three packs of cigarettes The second paper describes the effect of asbestos on several hundred mice which was somewhat inconclusive The third paper tells of the problems of asbestosis in an asbestos textile plant in North Carolina The state of North Carolina requires rays and examinations for all people working with asbestos and free silica materials According to studies on guinea pigs inert Mr. G. W. Phelps of United knows of no cases of pneumoconiosis in 400 by Miller and Sayers Clay Mines has written me caused by Owen Clay which dust is that he was used According to Drinker Animal studies and periodic examination of workers indicates that there is no danger at all of pulmonary damage from either mineral wool or Fiberglas There is not enough data on the ingredients of Pfiefer's proposed Careytemp type product to make a statement on its possible toxic effects All insulations are dusty and insulators seldom complain except when the dust is particularly irritating to them Based on presently available data GPL is not as detrimental to the health as is Kaylo It might be advisable for Bob Davis to a fabrication cost comparison between Kaylo and GPL using the same method as Union Carbide This would be helpful to have before we go into GPL WAL Bill Product Development Laboratory General Products Ex # 55 For Id 4 In Evid Date 2/16/82 GERALD DONIS C.S.R.
