LANGDON, 9 Individually and as Personal Representative of the Estate of WAYNE V. LANGDON, 10 Plaintiffs, 11 v. 12 PFIZER, INC., 13 Defendant. 14 NO. 3:14-cv-05084-RJB DECLARATION OF BARRY I. CASTLEMAN 15 I, BARRY I. CASTLEMAN, declare and state as follows: 16 1. Iam over the age of 18 and make this statement based upon personal knowledge. 17 I am qualified to offer the opinions contained herein for each and all of the below stated reasons. 18 2. In 1968,1received a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering from Johns 19 Hopkins University. I also have a master's Degree in Environmental Engineering, which was 20 mainly in areas related to air pollution control from Johns Hopkins University, 1972. I was 21 awarded a Doctor of Science Degree in Health Policy from Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene 22 and Public health in 1985. The Doctoral degree was awarded for two years of course work, 23 DECLARATION OF BARRY CASTLEMAN -1 Bergman Draper Ladenburg H art 614 F irst Avenue, Fourth Floor Seattle, WA 98104 Telephone: 206.957.9510 1 various examinations, and the writing of a doctoral dissertation. The course work was mainly in 2 the areas of toxicology, epidemiology, biostatistics, physiology, and public health policy. 3 3. My doctoral thesis was, Asbestos: An Historical Case Study of Corporate 4 Response to an Industrial Health Hazard, and is largely identical to a book published in 1984 by 5 Prentice Hall Law and Business called Asbestos: Medical and Legal Aspects (now in its 5th 6 Edition, 2005). The doctoral thesis is a historical review of the asbestos problem as a public 7 health problem in society worldwide, but mainly in the United States. It encompasses a 8 comprehensive review of medical literature of all kinds, as well as other literature available in 9 libraries and published sources such as government publications, safety magazines, engineering 10 journals, trade magazines, insurance publications, encyclopedias, magazines, and newspapers. 11 4. In addition to published information of all kinds, I examined files, unpublished 12 information available from the U.S. government archives, the archives of scientists and the 13 archives of institutions that had worked for and with asbestos companies. I also looked at 14 unpublished information which was obtained in legal discovery. This included trade association 15 minutes, corporate documents, and testimony of corporate officials who were associated with 16 asbestos hazards over the years -doctors, plant managers, executives, and other people who were 17 aware of events that transpired. 18 5. In sum, my professional experience goes back over forty years in the area of 19 asbestos and other occupational and environmental health problems. My field is occupational 20 and environmental policy, which is a branch of Public Health, mainly oriented towards the 21 recognition of risk factors and the prevention of disease from industrial activities. 22 6. In addition to published information and corporate knowledge that came out of 23 mainly legal discovery, I have also interviewed historically important practitioners in the field of DECLARATION OF BARRY CASTLEMAN - 2 Bergman Draper Ladenburg H art 614 First Avenue, Fourth Floor Seattle, WA 98104 Telephone: 206.957.9510 1 industrial medicine and hygiene. These included physicians who were active in the field of 2 occupational medicine, such as Harold Stewart, who first published on asbestosis in 1931 and 3 Alfred Angrist who first published on asbestos and lung cancer in 1942. They are both 4 pathologists; Dr. Wilhelm Hueper, a leading United States authority in the field of occupational 5 cancer and first director of the environmental cancer section of the National Cancer Institute; Dr. 6 Harriet Hardy, Dr. Thomas Mancuso, Dr. Gerrit Schepers, and others who were involved in the 7 area of asbestos and health over the past decades. 8 7. The relationship between asbestos and lung disease was well-documented in the 9 medical literature from the 1920s onward and the occupational hazards of asbestos exposure was 10 known within industry from the early-1930s. However, until the mid-1960s there were few 11 references to asbestos hazards in the popular press available to consumers. 12 8. In 1964, Dr. Irving Selikoff and his coworkers published a mortality study in 13 JAMA showing that there was a substantial excess of occupational cancer and deaths from 14 asbestosis among people involved in the insulating trades. Later in 1964, at an international 15 conference held in New York City and published in 1965 entitled "Biological Effects of 16 Asbestos", Selikoff and his coworkers reported that around 80% of the people who were in the 17 insulating trade had developed asbestosis by the time they had been in the trade for 30 years or 18 more. The Selikoff report was widely reported in the popular press and led to increased 19 awareness among the consuming public that asbestos was hazardous to human health. Exhibits 1 20 and 2 are articles from the New York Times discussing Dr. Selikoff s report. 21 9. In the years following the Selikoff report, local newspapers around the country 22 devoted increased attention to asbestos hazards. Exhibits 3,4, 5, and 6, are copies of articles 23 from the Seattle Times in the 1968-1974 time-period discussing asbestos hazards which are DECLARATION OF BARRY CASTLEMAN, Ph.D - 3 Bergman Draper Ladenburg H art 614 F irst Avenue, F ourth Floor Seattle, WA 98104 Telephone: 206.957.9510 2 2 : 3 3 FAX 1 generally representative of articles published nationwide. In addition to newspaper reports, 2 popular magazines increased their reporting of asbestos hazards in the late-1960s and early- 3 1970s. Exhibit 7 is a widely publicized article that appeared in the New Yorker on 10/12/1968. 4 10. I have reviewed marketing materials for Insulag refractory lagging in this case 5 attached as Exhibit 8. Those marketing materials represent that Insulag is "non-injurious" and 6 contain the Pfizer and Quigley logos side-by-side over the phrase "Manufacturers of 7 Refractories- Insulations". While not an expert on branding, I have been asked to assume that, as 8 a pharmaceutical company, Pfizer's brand identity was associated with health and safety while 9 Quigley's brand was historically associated with refractory and insulation. 10 11. Any representation that an asbestos-containing product was "non-injurious" ran 11 contrary to the prevailing medical, scientific and regulatory opinion that existed in the 1968-1974 12 time period. Moreover, as I have described above, the extent of public concern regarding 13 asbestos hazards was increasing in the 1968-1974 time-period during which asbestos-containing 14 Insulag was being manufactured and sold with the Pfizer logo. Assuming that Pfizer's brand 15 identity encompassed health and safety, associating that brand with a representation that Insulag 16 was "non-injurious" would have added credibility to this representation and countered popular 17 concern over asbestos hazards associated with the product. 18 I DECLARE UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY OF THE LAWS OF THE UNITED 19 STATES THAT THE FOREGOING IS TRUE AND CORRECT 20 21 22 Dated a ft 23 , Maryland this .day of December 2014.

SC H M E CK J r . Occupational exposure to as bestos may be making an ex tremely rare form of cancer much more common, accord ing to a report yesterday to the annual meeting of th e American Public'Hcalth Association. Tho cancer la called mesothe lioma. I t affects the Inner lining of the abdomen o r of -the chest and. In either CRse, It is fatal. In the general population it is extremely rare, but studies In Africa, where asbestos is mined, and more recent studies of construction workers exposed to asbestos dust In the New York City area show It to be far more common among those ex posed occupationally. The speclallsts-who gave {he report expressed worry th a t the danger might not he enUrely restricted to a limited occupa tion group, but th a t i t might: bo moro general and possibly oft considerable importance. There] is no direct evidence to sub stantiate this, they said, but some of the available findings hint that this m ay be the case. Tho report was given by Dr. Irving J . Sclikoff and Dr. Jacob Churg of Mount Sinai Hospital and Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, . Cuyler Ham m ond director of statistical research for the American Cancer So ciety. Mesothelioma Is so rare In the general population that it is not separately coded Rmong causes of death. Yet a study four years ago in an African asbestos min ing region found 33 cases, the report said. Heavy exposure to asbestos dust has in the past been linked with some increased risk of lung cancer, Dr. Selikoff and Dr. Hammond said a t a news conference before their talk, but th e mesothelioma is another m atter. The group pursued the ques tion by studies in the United States. One of these was a study of deaths among members of two New York nroa locals of a construction trade union whose members dcaltli with asbestos insulation. Of a total of 307! deaths occurring in -th is fairly] restricted group over 20 years--1 1013 to 1061--10 were found to be caused by mesothelioma. T he rep o rt called th is "an extraordinarily high Incidence for a tumor generally so rare." In con trast, they cu rren t Hugh study by th e American Cancer Society on the effects o f environ mental factors on health showed th a t among 31,652 deaths In the general population only three were due to mesothelioma. A further study of many cases nf mesothelioma collected over a long period by. the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology showed that one-fourth of those specimens that could be tested had evidence of the presence of; asbestos. ` i The worrisome feature, Dr. H am m ond and Dr. Sclikoff said, Is the evidence th a t asbestos, once taken into the body, stays there. Thus even a single heavy exposure could conceivably pro duce a cancer after a latent period of 20 years o r more, they said. This Idea, for which they said there Is some experimental as well as epidemiological evidence, could expand the risk from sim ply those occiinationail.v cxnosc:i to virtually anyone who might only occasionally encounter as bestos dust, The severity of exposure nec essary to produce such a seri ous effect Is not known, the two physicians said.

In addition to its common use as a fireproof m aterial, Dr. Selikoff said, asbestos m akes up about 50 per cent o f asphalt tile and is used in dental cement, brake linings, plastics, beer fil ters, gas m asks and paper. U ntil la st year, some schools used asbestos dust instead of sand for children to play in.

"We know from the mount ing number of letters and telephone calls we receive that more and more sincere Americans a re becoming in creasingly alarmed about these purported conditions," Johnson said.

Medical News Asbestos Branded Cancer Cause HOUSTON - (UPI) -- Government regulations are "essential" to controlling the only type of air pollution def initely linked with lung can cer, a New York environ m ental medicine specialist believes. Dr. Irving J . Selikoff said a i r b o r n e asbestos fibers, coming from many m ateri als used in the construction industry, pnse a "distres sing" and often fatal hazard to men who work regularly around them. Because asbestos is used so extensively in insulation and building m aterials, he said , its fibers can be found to a lesser degree in the lungs of almost every city dweller. Selikoff told the 10th Inter national Cancer Congress th at by themselves asbestos fibers cause both lung can c e r and gastrointestinal cancer. In cigaret smokers. he said, they apparently team with smoking byprod ucts to cause e xtra deadly results. "WHERE ASBESTOS can become airborne it should ei ther be controlled or thcproduct should be aban doned." he said. " I believe that governmental regulation is essential to help the asbes tos industry." Other cancer specialists at the congress said yesterday cigarets by themselve are an almost certain cause of fatal lung cancer if a sm oker goes past the "point of no re- "We m ay n o t have found the specific chemical that does it, but there isn't any question hut th a t cigaret smoke does cause cancer -- both in the human and in an imals," Dr. O scar Auerbach of the Veterans Administra tion Hospital in E ast Orange, N.

Meeting Notes Danger of Spraying Asbestos By AL DIEFFENBACK Tim es Medical Editor Careless spraying of as bestos insulating material is an air-pollution problem that has become a serious health hazard, a Mount Sinai School of Medicine professor said here Friday. R e g u l a t i o n s should be stringent, rapidly prepared and quickly enforced," Dr. Irving J . Selikoff. New York, a professor of medicine and environmental m e d i c i n e , sa id . Here to speak a t the eighth annual symposium on Res piratory Diseases, Dr. Scli- koff said one out of every four o r five asbestos workers dies of lung cancer. The very fine mineral fibers are found almost invariably in the lungs of persons aiitopsied in New York City, he sa id . ONCE THE FIBERS get into the lungs, there is no way to remove them and they cannot be dissolved, he said. Dust counts taken during asbestos-spraying jobs show "on the order of 20 times the normal amount" of dust in the air, he said. Dr. Sclikotf said entire b u i l d i n g s sometimes arc " contaminated for life" be- causc asbestos fibers a re le ft loose after pipes and b e a n s a re sprayed with the in su lat ing material in the a re as be tween floors and ceilings. These areas of " d e a d space" often are used a s re turn air ducts for a b u ild ing's circulation system . He said. "When asbestos fib ers a re being sucked from th e se a reas into the circulacin system of a building. 1 th in k 1 would have to call this one of the most reprehensible habits we have found," he sa id . He said he has become in creasingly concerned about the `introduction of new ma terials and techniques before their effects have been ac curately measured. The ` present controversy about possible harmful ef fects of birth-controi pills is one instance, D r. Selikoff said. Another is the use Of enzymes in detergents, he added. He said there have been a "very significant" number of asthm a cases -- some with serious illness and others with perm anent ill-effects-- among workers in deter gent-packaging factories. THE EN Z Y M E S form for Insulation about 1 pe r cent of a deter gent m i x t u r e .

THE adverse biological effects of asbestos were observed as early as the first century by the Greek geog rapher Strabo and by the Roman nat uralist Pliny the Elder, both of whom mentioned in passing a sickness of the lungs in slaves whose occupation was to weave asbestos inti cloth.

Moreover, techniques of dust sampling were primi tive and inaccurate, ami dust levels varied so greatly "not only inun fac tory 1" factory but from area u area within a given factory that it would have been almost impassible to establish criteria upon which to recommend a safe level of exposure. But as time went l>y, the- generally lowered dust levels that diil result frmn the regula tions of 1931 appeared to he slowing down the attack ram of the disease, at least in Great Britain, and the life ex pectancy of the average asbcStoS-tcxtile worker was further increased hv the advent of antibiotic's, which drastically reduced the* death rate from infertious pulmonary diseases that often li:ul to he feared as a complication of asbestos s. The totally unforeseeable Consequence of all this was that asbestos workers, in stead of dying of ashestosis, began living long enough m develop asbestos-in duced cancer. 'Hu- first published suggestion of an association between asbestosis and ma lignant disease was made in 1935 by Dr. Kenneth M. Lynch, professor of pathology at the Medical College of South Carolina, who described the case of a fifty-seven-) ear-old asbestos weaver who died of ashestosis and in whose: lungs cancer was also found. Because tin: regulations of 1931 required Brit ish coroners to conduct autopsies on men who had been suspended from work with asbestos on account of pul monary disability or when their length of service rendered it likely that the ir ccupation w.is a contributory cause of death, pathologist!; in Britain were able tn investigate the suggested link between adiestosis and lung cancer miurli more- easily than their counter parts in the United States, when* few states had w ork m en 's compensation laws covering dust diseases and where tlv-re were no specific r*gulations re quiring post-mortem examinations of asbestos workers. The British investi gations were not made the subject of ofltcia! comment until 1949, liowtvrr, when Dr. M r rewetJu t , who was then Chief Inspector of Factories, published .i review of data that hail been accum ulated from 1924 to 1946, which re vealed that lung cancer was present in thirty-one out of two hundred and thirty-five deaths that were caused by nsbestosts or in which nshestosis was 131 the mug that made mugs famous Created by Bennington Potters In 1957, the trigger mug is now recognized as a design classic throughout the world.

'This was ;m inci dence of slightly mure than riorum prr cent, and Mercwcther found it highly significant, for lung cancer, ac cording to its incidence in the general population, should only have been pres ent in approximately one per cent of ihr cases. At the time, no formal claim of an association between tin* two diseases was made, hut during the nrxt few years an increasing amount of evidence began to establish one. Then, in 1955, D i\ Richard S. Doll, director of the Statistical Research Unit of the 1$littoll Medical Research Council, completed a study of a hundred and thirteen con secutive autopsies of men with more than twenty years of exposure in a large nsbesto.v-tcxtiU- factory, which showed that the extent to which they had risked lung cancer over the whole period was eleven times as great as that of men in the gnnral population uf England and Wales. From then on, many doctors were convinced that a causal relationship between iishistos exposure and lung cancer had been demonstrated, although almost no part of the vast asbestos industry cither acknowledged tlu: relationship or found it advisable to aid the indrpendem re searchers who were investigating it. AT tilts point, many epidemiologist: had concluded that the ha/onls tv human health primmed by advstox were limited to the relatively small group of heavily exposed workers en gaged m making asbestos textiles. The trouble was that vert few studies had been made of the tens uf thousands of workers engaged in other branches o the industry, which was then expand in g at an enormous rate all nvr the Iworld, so that no one really hud any !way of knowing whether there was Iany danger from moderate or light occupational expnsnre-- or, for that matter, from indirect, iinn-occu|xitinnal Iexposure. Such studies were under wav | in a number of countries, however, and when the results began to appear, in tlv late fifties, it became evident tli.it the hazard posed to man by asbestos had once again been underestimated. The most dramatic development was Ithe discovery of an association hetwten exposure to asbestos and inebothclioina, an almost always malignant tumor of the pleura, which is the delicate irtcmIhrane that encases the lungs, or of tlw peritoneum, a similar membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. Previously mesothelioma had been so rare that it was considered a pathological curiosity.

T w o circumstances led Dr. Wagner and his associate* to suggest that asbestos might play some part in the mysterious out break: asbestos bodies had been found at autopsy in the lungs of the verv First case., and ten of the cases had come from a hospital to which patients sus pected of suffering from tuberculosis \v+.re referred from a large crncidoliu- asht stos mining area.

By the end of 1961, they bad diagnosed a total of lighty-seven mesotheliomas of die pleura and two mesotheliomas of the peritoneum. Only twelve of the cases proved to have had industrinl exposure to asbestos, but all the rest came from the arid, windswept region if the Cape a$he.*tos fields, where they could easily have sus tained exposure simply hy living in the vicinity of asbestos mills and dumps. A particularly striking case was that of a woman who was born in a town on the asbestos fields, left the region at the age of five, and died of a pleural mesothe lioma at the age of fifty-seven.

According to Dr. G . W . H. Sdiepcrs, a native of South Africa who is now director of die Bureau of Lab oratories in the Department of Health in Washington, D .C .. conditions of industrial hygiene in the asbesti minus and factories were often "deplorable." In 1949, when Schepers was sent into tlic northeastern Transvaal to make the first official radiological and clinical survey of the asbesti* industry for the South African government, he found harefnnt Bantu children spending their days inside large jure shipping bags, where they were forced by overseers armed with whips to trample down Iktfly amosite asbestos as it came cas cading over their heads into the bags, Schepers found thm a montar of these children had developed nstastosis with cor pulmonale-- light-sided heart fail ure, which often accompanies the dis ease-- -before the age of twelve, and he Inis sud dial lit: would be very sur prised if any of them had lived long enough to develop either lung cancer or mesothelioma.) In 196B, tile year that Wagner pub lished the first of his disturbing reports about mesothelioma, there were two additional developments that caused grave concern among scientists investi gating the asbestos problem. One of them occurred in Finland, where Dr. Raimo Kiviluoto, n radiologist, hail been surveying the general population for tuberculosis; he detected deposits of calcium on die pleura, which had previously tarn seen almost exclusive ly in nstasius workers, in four hun dred and ninety-nine out of sixty-three hundred and twelve people (mostly farmers and their wives ) who lived in county where asbestos had been mined and milled for many years,and no pleural calcifications in seventy-one hundred and rnr people who lived in a neigh boring count)' where there was no as- FOXHEAD coats with DACRON* Handsome any lime, any place, any weather, Lightweight, fashion-styled in a 2-ply Dacron* polyester and wool-worsted fabric.

As might he expected, the disclosures made by Wagner, Kivfluoto, and Thomson provided a powerful stimulus fir further investigation of the prob lem of asbestos exposure. During the next few years, a hunt for mesothelio m a m - Nw*Yo<<n.y1loom mas and aslv&to$ bridies was undertaken 1by pathologists all over the world. Thomson's observations were con firmed by studies made in Miami, in London, and in Belfast, while in Pitts burgh asbestos bodies were found in the lungs of forty-six of a hundred rnsvcutivA autopsies at Presbyterian-Uni versity Hospital. And Wagner's find ings were corroborated by investiga tions that associated mesothelioma with exposure to ashes in half a do/cn cities in tun.pc .mil tin: United Slates. Perhaps tlu- most striking confirmation of Wagner's data came from London, where Dr. Muriel L. Newhotisr and Dr. Hilda Thompson, of the Depart ment nf Occupational Health at the London School of Hvgictlc and Tropi cal Medicine, invest!gall'd the life his tories of seventy-six cases of mesothe lioma that had been confirmed by au topsy or Ivopsy in London Hospital. T o no urn's surprise, thirty-one of the seventy-six patients had worked with ashesiiis, but eleven of those who had died had s'mply lived within half a mile of an asbestos factory, and nine others--seven women and two men-- were relatives of asbestos workers. Most of these women had washed their husbands' work clothes regularly. The investgators learned that one of the husbands, a docker, had come home "white with asbestos" every evening for three or four years, and that his wife had brushed hint down. Both ol the nun in this group, when buys of eight or nine years, had had sis ters who worked in asbestos-textile factories. One of the sisters had been em ployed as a spinner from 1925 to 19.16, and had died of ashesOisis in 1947, at which time it was determined at an impust that "she used to return home, from work with dust on her clothes." Her brother, who had ap parently sustained no other exposure in nsbistos in his lifetime, die! in 1956 of a pleural mesothelioma. Further corroboration of Wagner's findings cam* from southeastern Penn sylvania, where* Dr. Jan Lichen, then head of the Division of Occupational Health at the State Department of Health, in Harrisburg, invcstigntid the backgrounds of forty-two people who had died of mesothelioma between 1958 and 1963.

On the other hand, the presence of asbestos bodies in the lungs of such a large percentage oi Consecutive autop sies in so many widely distributed cities oi file world was sufficient to indicate that asbestos fibres were probably being inhaled by a majority of urban dwell ers everywhere, and the association between asbestos and mesothelioma was striking enough to suggest that a history of exposure to the mineral was likely To be found whenever a positive diagnosis of die tumor was made. As a result epidemiologists were forced tu revise their idea that asbestos was only an industrial hazard, and to give serious consideration to T!homson's prediction that it might prove to be dangerous for untold numbers of unsuspecting people in the general community.

The conference enabled more than four hundred scientists from all over the world to discuss the immense ly complicated epidemiological and clinical problems that had apjnraml in the forty years since Dr. Cooke de scribed the first clear case of asbestosis, and its planning was largely thr work of one of its co-chairmen, Dr. Irving J.

A native of New Vnrk City, he intvmcd at Beth Israel Hospital in New ark; did his pathology at Mount Sinai, where he has been a member of the staff since 1947; and became a chest physician at the Sea View Hospital on Staten island, specializing in mlnrrculosis.

In 1953, Dr, Scliknff founded u medical clinic in Paterson, New Jersey, where, by chance, seventeen of Jin early patients were men referred for ch.irst-disease consultations who worked in a local factory that bad been mak ing asbestos-insulation materials since 1940. When the factor) closed down in 1954, the seventeen men went into other work, and at that point Dr. Soliknff decided to continue his oliservation of these patients with X-ray ex aminations and pulmonary-!unction tests in order to determine the history and die natural course of ashestosis *.n men win would not be subjected to further exposure. At the time, Dr. Selikoff was chiefly interested in asbrstosis because, as he lias explained, "I was still unconvinced of the relationship between asbestos and lung cancer. There wasn't much data, and what there was scarcely seemed to indicate that it would prove to be much of a problem." As things turned out, he changed his mind. In 1954, all seventeen men from the Paterson factory were ahlolvtdied and work ing. By 1961, however, six of them were dead, and Unlay only six of them are alive. O f the eleven who diet!, four were victims of lung cancer, three of other cancers, one of mesothelioma, and two of ashestosis. O f the six who are still alive, two are disabled because of respiratory insufficiency caused by fibrosis of the lungs, and one lias re covered from surgery* for cancers of the lung and larynx. Dr. Selikoff Uiouk his head in describing the fate of these patients, hut as early as 1961 their ranks had been thinned out so drastically that, as he saiJ, " I was forced to the awful realization of what could happen to men who were <cc.upationally exposed to asbestos."

In the next phase of the study, Dr. Srlikoff and Dr. Churg were joined hy Dr. E. Cuvier Hammond, VicePresident fur Epidemiology and Sta tistics of the American Cancer Society, who had participated in an analysis of the medical effects of the atomic ex plosions that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in 1945, and whose largescale epidemiological studies of more than a million men and women pro- ided a major basis for the conclusions drawn in the 1964 Surgeon General's report on the effects of cigarette smok ing. Since previous studies had sug gested that lung cancer associated with itsbvMosis seldom develops until twenty years after initial exposure to asbestos dust, I)r. Silikoff and Dr. Hammond decided to limit their first report to the six* hundred and thirty-two men who were m the uniun roils ns of Decem ber 31, 1942. Taking the men's ages into consideration, Dr. SdikofF and Dr. Hammond then set about comparing the number and causirs of death among them with those of the general male population in tile United States. The results were depressing*. According to the standard mortality tables, two hun dred and three deaths could have been expected among the six hundred and tliirtv-two workers. Instead, there were two hundred and fifty-five, not counting seven men who bad died be fore incurring twenty years of expo sure-- an excess of twenty-five per cent. Tl reason for the excess was nut hard to find. The fact that twelve of the deaths were attributed to nshestosis was not particularly surprising, but only six* or vvrn deaths from cancer nf the lung, pleura, or trachea were to Ik expected whereas there were forty-five. And where nine or ten gastrointestinal can cers were to be expected there were actually twenty-nine, Since the lungcancer death rate was known lie more than ten times as high rmiong cigarette smokers as among nnn-smokt rs, Dr. Sclikoff and Dr, Hammond realized that they would have to take the smoking habits of the asbestos-insulation workers into account if their findings were to have my va lidity. It was, uf course, impossible for them to ascertain this with accuracy in the cases of tin* two hundred and fifty1 five men who had died, so, for purposes of calculation, they assumed that all six hundred and ihirty-two men had smoked a pack or more of cigarette each day, and they demonstrated that even if this had been iln* cast* it would haw produced a lung-cancer death rat A utum n appetizer T o r iRil-BRlcs- o r tM nq vel platan. a Krorulb o n l 4 B in g h am a g e d tints re g iste re d K e n tu cky Country Hum is ;t th e tiling Ylte jun /antcC unvarying quality an d flavor b e ca u se w e do <*voiyihing nu rseivoE - fmnt ra ilin g our o * n Regs to sm oking end curing cur ham titf ulrM Jvrirened sassutrns w ay E a c h b am s ii* g is tir e d lo r a b so lu te qu.n'*ty co n tro l. ai:flrir.toctS or yo ur m o n ey bach.

Dr. Selikoff and Dr. Hammond have reservations about these data, which suggest that asbesto* workers who smoke cigarettes arc ninety times more likilv to die of lung cancer than men who neither work with asbestos nor smoke, because they are based upon the experience of a relatively small number of people.

A nuncan Medical Aaodatitm they recommend "that asleseos exposure be minimized, that asbestos workers who do not smoke should never start, and that those* now smoking should stop immediately." It has been suggested in smut* tjuartei- that asbestos fibres, which are known to be highly adsorbent as well as vir tually indestructible, may retain tin substance known as lienzo [a j pvrene from cigarette smoke for long periods of time in lung tissue, thus tending to produce lung cancer by a synergistic effect.

And Hi-Fi's We make high fidelity. iS lIS lI We're prepared to graciously concede the field to the fa mous manufacturers when it comes to TVs, toasters and electric frying pans Not when it comes to mu sic systems. They make Hi-Fi's. We make high fidelity. There's a difference They make products for a mass market. And we never will. We can't, and still achieve the quality we want. The famous manufacturers have the same pool of technology available that we do. The only dif ference is that we dip more deeply into it. Mass manufacturers design Hi-Fi's for a position in the mar ketplace. We design high fidelity, as a reviewer once wrote, "for the sake of music and our demanding love of it." What it means is that our peo ple have a genuine love (or what they do because they love the end product ot what they do-- music. It's that simple. And so we make the logical choice not to be a mass company; not to sell our products in every corner drug store. We think our new SC1510 is an excellent example of the differ ence between Hi-Fi and high fidelity. We call it the compact compact music system. It's one of the nicest, most graceful high performance stereo systems you can buy. Compare its sound with one of those multiton French Provincial musical mastodons put out by the toaster/ vacuum cleaner / hi-fi makers and you'll hear Ihe difference. The SC1510 is at our dealers now. And while we're not as close as the corner drugstore, chances are we've got a dealer near you. As you listen to the SC1510 notice that we feature no doo hickeys. doodads or non-per- lorming cabinetry Every dol lar goes into performance Our knobs do what Ihey re supposed lo do. They just don't sit there looking pretty. For instance. Ihe SC1510 has a new speaker switching system which permits you to play stereo in two rooms simulta neously; or stereo in one room, mono in another: or just select Ihe rooms in which you want music. There's a powerful, dislortion- free amplifier; a custom-designed four-speed Garrard changer (op tional FM stereo also available), headphone receptacle on front panel and many other features.

Because of their concern with the possible effects of such indirect occupa tional exposure, Dr. Selikoff and his assistants have pent months compiling the names, address^, and work his tories of twelve hundred tile otters, three thousand roofing workers, and three thousand tunnel, foundation, and caisson vvoikers in the NVw York metropolitan area.

With the aid of a grant from the United Suites Public Health Service, l)r. Sdikoff and his associates are cur rently conducting an investigation chat covers an even wider range, by study ing samples of lung tissue from three thousand consecutive auiojtsies that have Keen performed at three different hospitals in New York Cin and trac ing the work historic* ol each of the dead people. So far, they have examined two fhoiisttjul lung samples, and havt found ;t>b.*tos bodies in nearly half of them, According to Dr, Victor Baden, histologist at the Environmental S<:nce.s Laboratory, from one to live or more asbestos bodies are found in fifty per rent nf the tissue slides he examines. Since each slide is composed of seven sections that together represent k than one half-millionth nf an entire lung, and since it is widely assumed that asbestos bodies arc evenly distrib uted throughout a lung, the finding of just one of tlu m can he prop cud to mean that half a million may he prtsuu.

Pointing out again that direct and indirect occupa tional exposure were much more com mon than had been Mispectcd, espcciidly ill the construction and shipbuilding industries, he went on to say, "The possible sources of environmental con tamination are numerous. Minin; and milling operations, manufacturing processes, and the delivery and storage of finished products constitute jest one part of it. The constant use of asbestos materials in the construction industry is another, and the destruction and de terioration of nslustos products in the community at large constitutes u third. There's no question in my mind that unsuspecting people arc being exposed to small quantities of fibres from sticli sources as tom ironing-board covers and pot holders, and who knows lirnv much asbestos is inhaled by Jt<>bhyi$is engaged in do-it-yourself p ro jects around the house-- like sawing up wall hoard, mixing crack-filler compounds, insulating pipes with asbestos materials, and repairing furnaces and boilers with asbestos cements?

This is very bad advice. Why, Dr. William E. Smith, who con ducts animal studies at Fairleigh Dick inson University, lias readily induced mesotheliomas in hamsters by injec tions of asbestos fibres into their pleural cavities! " Dr. Selikoff went on to say that he understands full well that asbestos is an extremely valuable material, and that it has beernnr essential in modern industrial society. " Wc epidemiologists recognize and study its (bagel's so that we may devise ways of minimizing or avoiding them," he said. %<Improve ments in the practice of industrial hy giene arc needed to eliminate unneces sary exposure among asbestos workers ami men in other building trades, and awareness of the potential risks oi cnvii'ottmcnrnl contamination is needed until our studies indicate just how far out into the general imputation the problem extends. All I can say is that the public should he made aware of the problem, and that no one, particularly children And young people, should he unduly exposed. After all, today's chil dren arc almost certainly inhaling more asbestos than their parents did, and we now know that if a person inhales sig nificant amounts of asbestos dust, he carries a burden that will provide a la tent potential for the development of cancer for the rest of his life. Here's an example I'll never forget. A couple of years ago, just after Cttylvr Hammond, Jack Cliurg, and I published an article about asbestos and mesothelioma in the Xt'tv lingktnd Jounwi of Maiieinr^ I received a phone call from a doctor in Massachusetts who said dial when he read the piece he immediatelv told his f<irry-threc-year-old wife about it, be cause her sister had died of mesothelio ma the year before. 1Imagine my hor ror,' this physician went on, `when my wife proceeded to tel! me that in 1943, while she and her sister were students in college, they laid responded to a pa triotic appeal and spent six weeks in a shipyard insulating pipes in destroyer escorts.' " Dr. Selikoff paused. "T w o sisters with six weeks of exposure in 1943," he murmured. "Twenty-three years later, one of them dies of mesodiclioina. And today, the other one-- the doctor's wife--is being examined every few months to keep track of OCTOBER 1 2 , 1 9 6 8 Demi-lune handles of g ild ed m etal dress this han d so m e s n a il b a g by Block: b lock o r brow n leather or plastic patent, or in b la c k a llig a to r* g rain le a th e r. 30.00 At all lo rd & Taylor sto res One of the 7 Wonderful Inns of the world!

As he dill, clouds of dust rose into the air around him. Some of it showered the window beside me. 11 ap peared to be ordinary cement dust, hilt then I saw that the pile if debris on which the mail was standing contained broken pieces of acoustical panelling and wallboard, l>oth of which often contain asbestos, and lengths of pipe coated with crumbling white insulation material that looked very much liki asbestos.

Abovt the tarpaulins, the stnrl girders am! hiams were reddish brown; between the tarpaulins and the ground, however, they had been sprayed with ashrsius in sulation, which clung to tlu*m like gray frosting. T hen, all at once, I saw wads of the same grav stuff falling out of the area that had been curtained off by the tarpaulins. Some of the pirns were car ried away on the wind; others that were heavier came tumbling down around me. One fell nil the sidewalk at my feel. 1 picked it up, crumbled it be tween my fingers, and saw dozens of tiny fibres float away, ft was the same color and texture as the material that Dr. Selikoff had shown me half an hour before. The sidewalk was covered with it, and even as I stood there more of it came showering down. A woman hurrying to make the light with :< friend brushed some off the. sleeve of her coat, and said, "What the devil is this stuff?"

Off. { A HIGHLY EFFICIEN T INSULATING LAGGING With Air~setting Properties for a Wide Range of Temperature Applications _ WATER RESISTANT-ECONOMICAL INSULAG is a superior refractory lagging:, with unsurpassed insulating properties for use on high or low temperature equipment. It can be applied on hot or cold metal surfaces, and as a finishing coat for insulation. INSULAG possesses at recommended temperatures exceptionally high refractory and insulating properties. INSULAG is used at operating temperatures at which other laggings fail. '" " Its unusual low heat storage and low thermal conductivity make INSULAG a most effective insulator for the control of temperatures. INSULAG permits reduction in thickness of heavy refractory walls and, in turn, decreases the heat capacity of the total structure. Fuel savings, constant temperatures and increased production result from its use. INSULAG increases in thickness after application and retains this increased volume throughout its entire range of service tempera tures. INSULAG, after it has set, doe3 not dissolve or collapse from contact with water, oil or steam, which properties make it an out standing product. Flo, 3-W0IU4 Dutfv. Carings, Dfumi of loro* loiU ri l/uulatid With INSULAO. POWER PLANTS-- INSULAG m eets the engineer's dem and fo r a suitable m aterial for covering turbines, feed w ater heaters, hot liquid storage tanks, drums, smoke flues, stacks, pipes and flanges. I t is also recommended na insulation in back o f re fracto ry tile of w ater wall boilers and outside fire brick walls in boiler furnace construction. ON BOILER DRUMS-- INSULAG, used on the boiler drum s because it does not crack in service, can be walked on w ithout de struction, and does not collapse due to steam leaks or w ater dripping on same. FIRE-PROOFING-- Bins, walls, roof stru c tures, furnace rooms, columns, etc., may be protected against fire by applying INSULAG as n veneer coating. The fire retardant properties of INSULAG render it ideal fo r this purpose. CENERAL USES-- INSULAG h as such a wide ran g e of useB th a t it is indispensable as a plastic lagging in plants using fuel fired furnaces. I t is "the lagging m aterial of a thousand uses."

O ne in ch of IN SU LA G has an in su lat ing value equal to about nine in ch es of fire brick and has about 1 /4 0 the heat storage capacity of fire brick walls o f equal heat flow. T herefore, relatively th in applica tions of INSULAG may be substituted for heavy masses of refractories; heat losses are reduced and furnace production is. increased. n iC II MECHANICAL STRENGTH--IN SU LA G is d iffe r en t, I t develops high mechanical stre n g th upon drying and successfully w ithstands shock, m oderate abrasion and vibration. The im pact of a ham m er will cause a dent in IN SU LA G and mny even crack it, b u t th e blow will not cause it to break aw ay readily from tbe equipm ent to which it was applied. This is m ost advantageous on drum s, tanks, pipe tinea and other equipm ent subject to rough usage. HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMITS-- IN SU LA G w ill w ithstan d a wide range of applications fo r h igh te m p eratu re direct exposure and is recommended for interface tem peratures up to 2200`F. EXPANSION -- IN SU LA G expands a f te r application; physical shrinkage eliminated. LIGHT WEIGHT-- On the average, th ree pounds of INSULAG covers 1 Bquare foot to a thickness o f 1 inch. V arying conditions, methods of application, h ard trowel' ing. kinds of surfaces, v aria tio n s in m ixing, w ate r con tent, and tem perature of surfaces at tim e of application may require more material. QUICK SETTING -- IN SU LA G cold-sets firmly in 24 hours to 48 hours and in much less tim e w hen subjected to heat. The quick d ry in g and se ttin g characteristics of INSULAG perm it trow eling to a smooth finish suit able for painting. ADAPTABILITY--IN SU LA G possesses prop erties neces sary fo r "roughing" coat and " finishing'' coat, or two coats by one application. The user of INSULAG does not find it necessary to carry in stock two o r three different materials for the same job. WATER RESISTANT--IN SU LA G , after Betting, does not dissolve or collapse from contact with water, oil or steam. This is a decided advantage in plant maintenance. INSULAG is a superior product for Insulating equip. ment exposed to the weather. NON-1NJURIOUS--IN SU LA G contains no m ineral wool, or fine slag particles w hich are irrita n ts to the hands or other parts of the body. A feature of INSULAG which particularly appeals to m any users is th e beautiful, sm ooth, w h ite surface of a trowelled finished job, If desired an INSULAG trowelled finished job can be treated w ith Quigley TK IFL E-A Protective Coatings in w hite, black, colors o r alum inum .

FIREPROOFING CEMENT INSULAG is a fire retardant, lightw eight form ulation, having a fire and w ater resistant smooth w hite surface. INSULAG weighs only 40 pounds per cubic foot; 1/jrd the weight of concrete, common brick o r other such fire proofing materials. Therefore, excessive loads are not added to existing structures, or those under design. INSULAG was subjected to exhaustive fire-proofing tests by a nationally recognized research laboratory and large oil refinery. Their reports proved INSULAG is capable o f w ithstanding THERM AL SHOCK without spalling or destruction when 100 lb. per square inch w ater pressure was played on it by hose, w ith nozzle, at all distances, and at all temperatures up to 2000F. INSULAG is the ideal fireproof protection fo r Struc tural Columns, Beams, Channels and Angles, LP Gas Tanks, OH Tanks, Tow er Skirts, Pipe Line Sup ports and A ll Exposed Steel in O il Refineries, Steel and Chemical Plants. INSULAG is regulary used as a Refractory Insulation by all types of industries, inside and outside of fur naces and boiler settings, for temperatures up to 2200F. I t is also used fo r m any types of insulations inside and outside of buildings, regardless o f climate and without weather proofing. IN SU LA G is the only m aterial required fo r a fire proofing and w ater resistant insulating job.

On Larger Surfaces, weld on studs, to which attach square mesh welded fabric with opening of not less than 2" x 2". INSTALLATION Can be Cast--Trowelled or Gunned by using above conventional methods of reinforcements. M IX IN G for Cast or Trowelled installations, add sufficient water to make a smooth easy-working mixture. Use clean, fresh w ater a t 60-65F. An average mixture lakes about ten and one-half (lO '/j) gallons of water to a one hundred (100) pound bag. Mix only quantity that can he applied within twenty (20) minutes. For Gun Applications use minimum air pressure and maximum quantity of dean fresh w ater a t 60F., but no higher than 90F., th a t permits placement without slump. APPLICATION A one and three quarters U % ) inch thickness is required for a three (3) hour tire resisting rating. Apply by either Cast--Trowel o r Gun method. A one and one eighth (1 Vt) to one and one quarter ( 1 V4) inch thickness of mixed INSULAG which will hloaf to one and five eighth (1 Vs) to one and three quarters (1 3A) inch. Allow to set. If a smooth finish is required, SCRATCH or ROUGHEN this surface before applying the one eighth (Vs) inch finishing coot. H the original application has dried, sam e should be moistened prior to applying the finished coal. For the finish coat, INSULAG should be mixed with water, allowed to bloat and remixed. This finished coat should be trowelled smooth. Additional Fire Resistance Rating can be secured by increasing thickness of INSULAG. DuUtciin 333-- # 3 --FP--5M--3-70--AM
