Dear Mr. Duhamel,
You possibly have read recent articles concerning the finding of a foihn of liver cancer in some workers or former workers in the PVC Industry. The presumption is that the disease has been contracted from lengthy exposure (15-30 years) to high concentrations of vinyl chloride monomer.
Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. has gone to great lengths to reviuw the work histories of our employees and to provide medical exam: nations for all of those with significant work histories in PVC production. We have also examined pathological records of deceased emplo yees. Attached is a recent news release outlining the results of
thes programs. We were pleased to find that the results showed no
case of liver cancer.
Air Products wishes to further expand this medical program by contfl cting former employees no longer with our Company and offering to p ovide them with a similar set of medical examinations and tests Emplo yees with at least three years work experience in the PVC Plant are being offered the examination and tests.
Our records indicate that you were employed by either our predecessor, Escambia Chemical Corp. or by Air products after they acquired Escambia Chemical Corp.
You may avail yourself of this physical examination and tests whic n are offered to you free of charge by Air Products by calling Mr. F. Odom, personnel Manager of our Pensacola plant, at 904- 994-5511 for full details of the doctors to whom you should repo rt, locations and dates available for this series of examinations and tests. Any trip expenses involved .in getting to the doctors clos sst to you will have to be borne by you.
Very}truly yours,
