HASKELL LABORATORY NEWARK, DELAWARE ASBESTOS/LUNG CANCER Our attention has been called to this B: itish article which is concerned with the health hazards in handling asbestos. Since the Elastomers Laboratory handle asbestos and are frequently making recommendations for the use of our polymers in binding asbestos, I wonder if we should be calling the possible health hazards of this material to our customers' ^ attention as well as reviewing our handling procedures m the laboratory? We are attaching a copy of an article which appeared in the British Journal of Industrial Medicine. Will you please give me vour thoughts and any recommendations which you may have. S, C.
