Dougherty, c/o Thiokol/Friction Division N. Enterprise Ave., Trenton, N.J. 08604 Dear Mr. Dougherty It vas a pleasure to have-you and Mr. Dean visit our mine r Some time ago Mr. Toms B. Royal wrote us asking: -data on safety in brake lining, -data on indexing for fibrosis and lung cancer cases We have looked here through our files and were not able to find anything which answered precisely above Questions. However I am enclosing copies, in duplicate, of following articles: (1) - Bulletin - Nov./Dec. 1979 - Vol3/No.6 "ASBESTOS AND HEALTH AND THE PUBLIC". It is a summary of latest scientific * findings. (2) - "ENVIRONMENTALLY INDUCED CANCER... Separating Truth and Myth" by Dr. Harry Demopoulos, Ass. Prof, of Pathology, New York JUn. Med. Center. . (3) - View points of JM, Wagner Electric Corp., Chrysler Corp., Du Pont, Dow Chem. at an EPA hearing. (4) - Asbestos Exposure of Brake Repair Workers in the US The Mount Sinai Journal of Medicare I.J.Selikoff & Al. Please note that these workers were employed for not less than 10 years, and really their average age was 481 12 years. ' They were on the job 281 8 years. Their work practice vas: blowing off the dust, and no mention is made if any exhaust system was available when the brakes were reshaped by grinding. </A M Page 2 (5) - The Editorial of CHEST magazine, Vol. 77, No. 2 February 1980 is of Interest as it mentions that: We haved examined the cases of 600 bodies (asbestos bodies) in 80 patients. 98Z of such bodies are actually formed on amphlbole varieties of asbestos: amosite or crocidolite. Later on the authors, commenting on an article, express the opinion: "Actual analysis of the cores of these bodies by electron diffraction and microprobe would be of gread interest" Our own feelings in respect to article (5) are those of .. relief, finally the scientists start to act as they should; . they caution that final identification should be made before : conclusions. f. It is too bad that too many conclusions were reached hastily; ' Be died from cancer at the age of 40, because he worked as a student at a construction job and cut few asbestos-cement i sheets. ; It is hoped that you will find these enclosures of some help. My best regards to you and Mr. Dean. ' : Yours very truly. CAREY CANADA INC cc.: Messrs: Toms B. Royal, M. Prus, A.H. Bagenstose John Sztuke V.P., Res. & Qua. Control Enclosure: 5 JS/ms
