"Asbestos-Cement Water Pipe and Human Health"
attached paper "Asbestos--Cement Water Pipe and Human Health" has been prepared to answer medical questions which have been raised in recent months. These questions relate to a product we have brought into common use in Domestic Water Systems over a period of nearly 40 years. Therefore, we feel an obligation to our customers to answer these questions.
We have initiated studies and sought the advice and guidance of the most qualified medical consultants in this country to obtain factual evidence on this matter. All of this evidence is against the allegation that the use of TRANSITE Water Pipe has any influence on the development of any disease.

a s b e s t o s - cement water p ip e and human health
Asbestos-cement (A/C) pipe for water supply and disposal systems was developed in Europe in 1913 and introduced into the United States in 1929. Asbestos fiber, added to Portland cement and silica, provides the structural strength required for durable, lightweight, rustproof, economical piping.
These advantages have led to the use of great quantities of asbestos-
cement pipe over the past half century, for water supply and sewer systems,
irrigation projects, drainage systems, industrial processes, heating and
cooling installations,gas systems, and as conduits for electrical and telephone wires.
For water supply systems, A/C pipe meets the specifications of the American Water Works Association and of the U.S. Government. Under Federal Specification SS-P-351A, A/C water pipe is sold to the U.S. Public Health Service. The World Health Organization uses large quantities of A/C pipe in its programs to improve the quantity and quality of water systems throughout the world.
Because of asbestos-cement pipe's unique advantages for community water systems, it is important to clarify a question raised, late in 1967, in Nashville, Tenn., concerning the suggestion of a possible health hazard related to the use of A/C pipe.
Castleman.CERT000405
ORIGIN OF THE HEALTH ISSUE
in 1967 the metropolitan government of Nashville van considering a proposal to include asbestos-cement pipe in its specifications for water pipe.
on November 30. 1967, T H E - NASHVILLE BANNER, in a story on this proposal, reprinted a letter from Dr. James D. Snell. Jr., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University. suggesting that it would be "a medical hazard of significant degree to use such pipe in a water system until the U.S. public Health Service had checked it out completely ..
Dr. Snell's letter stated that medical circles have established ..fairly well" that asbestos causes a "high incidence of cancer in the lungs if breathed or in the gastrointestinal tract if swallowed, even in amounts small enough to be visible only under a microscope." He added that if any particles of asbestos were released from A/C pipe into a municipal water system, "current medical knowledge suggests that a rase in certain types of cancer could be expected in about 20-60 years
among the population.
t
Dr. Snell offered no evidence in his letter to support his allegations
Later, when Nashville councilman James LaPenna asked to see medical
literature in support of this position. Dr. Snell submitted two papers
which dealt solely with the problem of occupational exposure to the
Inhalation of asbestos fibers. Neither paper suggested any problem
arising out o f the swallowing of asbestos fiber by the general public
7

Castleman.CERT000406
Upon receiving Dr. Snell's letter^ Nashville authorities turned to
the U.S. Public Health Service for advice.
/
REACTION OF THE SCIENTISTS
The Public Health Service discussed the allegations with two prominent medical authorities in the field of asbestos and health "to confirm our view that there is a low probability of any health hazard associated with this use of asbestos-cement pipe."
The two experts were Dr. George W. Wright and Dr. Irving J. Selikoff, who are referred to by the PHS as "recognized authorities in the field."
Dr. Wright is Chairman of the Institute for.Occupational and Environmental Health, and head of the Medical Research Department, St. Luke's Hospital,. Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Selikoff is professor and chairman, Division of Environmental Medicine, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine New York City.
Briefly, the opinions of these two prominent authorities are
as follows:
.
DR. WRIGHT:
"To my knowledge, there have been no reports in medical literature of a relationship between gastrointestinal (GI) cancer and the drinking of water supplied through an asbestos-cement pipe water system. Most'assuredly, the ingestion of one or a hundred or a thousand asbestos fibers, on one or more instances, cannot be related to gastrointestinal cancer, since in asbestos workers exposed far more heavily five days a week, over a period of many years, there is no scientifically acceptable evidence of a higher than average frequency of GI cancer."

Castleman.CERT000407
4 DR. SELIKOFF ;
There is no evidence at all at this time that the
Pipe has resulted in a r e c o i l h^ t h h a S d ^ ' ^ "
EVIDENCE SUPPORTS COMMENTS BY DOCTORS
The comments of Dr. Wrigyht. and uDrr. S>eelxixkkooffff aaTr.e,, supported by four
types of evidence:
.
1. Workers in certain asbestos-related trades have been exposed to heavy concentrations of asbestos dust on the job and have, as a result, swallowed considerable quantities of this material. Despite this exposure, no unusually high rate of gastrointestinal cancer has been reliably demonstrated among these workers.
2. The exposure of laboratory test animals to heavy concentrations
of asbestos dust has resulted in no cases of gastrointestinal
cancer.
3. Recent research indicates that no significant amounts of asbestos are released into drinking water which flows through asbestoscement pipe.
4. in the face of ever-increasing use of asbestos-cement pipe and
of asbestos fiber, the death rate from gastrointestinal cancer
xn the United States has shown a steady decline over the last
20 years. This national trend also applies, in general,
.
f M o r e ....
Castleman.CERT000408
%
to those cities where A/C pipe has been used in water systems
for long periods of time. Similarly, in most of the European
i; countries where A/C pipe has been used extensively -- in many
countries for more than half a century -- the death rate from
this type of cancer has also declined.
These four points will now be discussed in further detail.
1. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS HAS NOT RESULTED IN
ABNORMALLY HIGH GI CANCER RATE_______________________
Scientists are now investigating a possible relationship between heavy occupational exposure to inhaled asbestos dust and lung cancer; however, there is no scientifically acceptable evidence whatever to support the contention that the swallowing of asbestos fibers produces any disease.
Dr. Wright points out that insulation workers are "heavily
exposed" to the ingestion of asbestos because a certain percentage
of inhaled asbestos dust is coughed up and then swallowed.
"I would reason from this, therefore, .that in the insulation
workers the gastrointestinal exposure to fiber would be high
and therefore if there was a strong relationship of fiber
ingestion to gastrointestinal cancer, it should not be difficult
to demonstrate it." Dr. Wright declares, "there is no evidence
to support the contention that even the highest intensity of
exposures that we know of in industry leads to clear-cut
increased frequency of gastrointestinal cancer."

SUMMARY: Studies made on workers exposed to a heavy concentration of asbestos dust do not support the allegation that the minute amounts of asbestos present in water would lead to increased GI cancer risks.
.ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS WITH ASBESTOS HAVE NOT PRODUCED GI CANCER_______________' __________________ -- -- -
Laboratory test animals are used extensively in cancer research to study their reactions to various substances that are suspected of having some relationship to cancer in humans. Tests of this nature, using asbestos, have been conducted on mice for periods as long as two years and on dogs for four or more years. The amount of fiber swallowed by these experimental animals far exceeds even that of insulation workers.
These animal tests have shown no relationship between fiber exposure and gastrointestinal cancer. In fact, there is no
record of a tumor of any sort forming in the gastrointestinal
tract of the test animals.
In addition, experiments conducted by Dr. Selikoff on hamsters generally support the dog-and-mice feeding findings.
"Yet," Dr. Selikoff commented, "the exposure to ingested asbestos in this experimental work was very much larger-indeed than might be anticipated in water obtained from asbestos-cement pipes."
More ....
Castleman.CERT000410
SUMMARY: Animal experiments confirm the studies made of the health records of asbestos workers, which show no relationship between asbesto exposure, whether by inhalation or swallowing, and GI cancer.
3 . M U NICIPAL WATER AND ASBESTOS
Even the so-called "pure" water distributed through municipal systems contains traces of many minerals and chemicals, the amount and type depending upon the source and location of water supplies. It would not be surprising, therefore, to find trace particles of asbestos in water supplied through almost any type of piping system.
A study was recently conducted of the drinking water in nine cities that have used asbestos/cement pipe for periods ranging from eight to 17 years. The highest asbestos content in this water was a mere 6 micrograms -- about one five-millionths of an ounce -- of asbestos fiber per gallon. In terms of human consumption this means that . if a man were to drink eight glasses, of water per day, he might swallow a total of twenty-seven-ten-thousandths of an ounce (.0027) of asbestos in a lifetime of 70 years.
How does this compare with the exposure of a man working in an
asbestos plant? Under the accepted Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for
asbestos inhalation in industry, in 45.years a worker would inhale
5,000 times more fiber than anyone could get from the drinking water
in 70 years. What is revelant here is the fact that there is no
reliably demonstrated increased frequency of GI cancer among asbesto
workers, who cough up and swallow a substantial portion of the
fiber they inhale.

SUMMARY: Although additional research is being carried on, present evidence does not support the contention that asbestoscement water pipe releases asbestos into water in amounts that can constitute any health hazard to the general public.
DECREASE IN FREQUENCY OF GASTROINTESTINAL (GI) CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES ____________ _________________
Figures from both the National Office of Vital Statistics of the United States Public Health Service and from the American Cancer Society show a steady decline in the frequency of GI cancer in the United States from 1947 to 1966. The death rate per 100,000 of population from GI cancer dropped from 55.2 in 1947 to 48.4 in 1966.. Available U.S. figures also show GI cancer declining since 1960 as a percentage of total
deaths:

asbestos-cement pipe has been used since 1938. Here s

Similarly, in to*., ,,hare asbestos-cement pipe has been in
use for fifty years or more, the death rate from GI cancer is
generally doTM,,ard. ror example, in Switzerland, ,,here the use
f A/C pipe is the highest per capita of any Western European
country, the death rate, for GI cancer has dropped from 81.9
P - 100.000 Of population in 1951 to 63.9 in 1963, according
'
to the latest figures available from the World Heal* Organization.
Thus, the actual frequency of gastrointestinal cancer in no ,,ay supports the allegation that the use of asbestos-cement water pipe can cause an increase in this type of disease. r,, fact, during the very years that the use of V c pipe has increased in
Korc-
Castleman.CERT000413
the United States, the rate of GI cancer has declined. -- It-is .clear that no causal connection has been demonstrated between the use of A/C water pipe and GI cancer in human beings.
SUMMARY: "Substantial and increasing amounts of asbestos fiber have been used in various ways from 1930 on in the United States, and one would anticipate that if this fiber was playing a role in the causation of gastrointestinal tumors, it might be expected to have led to an increase in tumors, rather than the observed decrease." (Dr. George W. Wright)
CONCLUSIONS
Four types of evidence have been examined: (1) occupational
exposure of workers to inhaled and swallowed asbestos dust particles;
(2) results of experiments with test animals exposed to large quantities
of asbestos particles; (3) results of tests to determine the amount of
asbestos in municipal water supplies; and (4) the frequency of GI cancer
in the U.S. and Europe, including those areas'using asbestos-cement
water pipe.
...
All of this evidence is against the allegation that the use of A/C water pipe has any influence on the development of GI cancer.
Finally, it is important to view Dr. Snell's concern about the health safety of A/C pipe in its proper perspective.
Asbestos is by no means alone in having the finger pointed toward it as a possible'health hazard. Literally hundreds of substances -- as common and everyday as fuel oil, charcoal broiled steaks, iron rust

PROGRESS REPORT Environmental Health Project
Asbestos-Cement Pipe____
At the conclusion of the January 3rd meeting of asbestos-
cement pipe manufacturers, several of us volunteered for
specific assignments.
on those assignments.
This is the first report of progress
Assignment; H. M. Ball to visit the General Counsel of the Cast Iron Pipe R esearch Association to discuss the desirability of eliminating reference to alleged health hazards in the promotion of various types of water pip e .
PROGRESS Mr. Ball and Jay Baker carried out this assignment on January 18, meeting with both the General Counsel and the Executive Secretary of the Association at the Counsel's Washington, D.C. office. Mr. Ball has reported the successful results of that meeting to the other a/c pipe manufacturers. J-M Pipe Division people report no new "incidents" since that time.
A ssignment; F. J. Solon, Jr. to visit Dr. Murray Brown of the iT.sT Public Health Service to sound him out on what PHS plans to do about questions regarding the safety of a/c pipe and whether he would be receptive to the idea of broadening any PHS study to include cast iron, plastic and other types of pipe used
to carry potable water.
Castleman.CERT000422
-2 -
PROGRESS At a subsequent meeting with Dr. George W. Wright, Medical Consultant to the President of Johns-Manville,
I it was deemed advisable for Dr. Wright, who knows Dr. Brown well, to make the contact. He did so by phone the week of January 21. Dr. Brown told Dr. Wright he was aware of the problem, that Senator Gore of Tennessee had shown interest in it and that he (Dr. Brown) had an appointment with
Dr. Stewart, the Surgeon General, that week and that the
subject of a/c pipe could very well come up. He promised
to report after his visit with Dr. Stewart.
He did not report that week so Dr. Wright called him January 31 to learn: 1. The subject did not come up in Dr. Brown's meeting
with the Surgeon General. 2. If there is to be a test program on a/c pipe, it will
probably be given to Dr. Brown's group - and that he has already made up his mind to include cast iron, plastic and other types of pipe in the program.
3. Dr. Brown has written to Dr. I. J. Selikoff asking for a copy of Dr. Selikoff's letter to Dr. Bistowish, Director of Health of Nashville and Davidson County. He is awaiting receipt of that letter before writing to Senator Gore, as the Senator had requested. He
Castleman.CERT000423
has had no pressure from Senator Gore in the meantime
and believes the political pressure is off.
^
In light of the above, it would not seem to be
j
necessary for a delegation of a/c pipe manufacturers tp
visit Dr. Brown or anyone else in the PHS at this time
regarding the inclusion of cast iron pipe, etc., in any
test program. However, we will keep in touch with the
situation through Dr. Wright so that should consideration
of a test program become imminent, we will be on top of
it and can then mutually decide strategy.
Assignment: Johns-Manville will prepare a position "background" paper on the a/c pipe environmental health question.
PROGRESS The first rough draft has been completed. To the comments
of Dr. Wright which form a firm base for this paper, we wanted to add those of Dr. Selikoff. Ivan Sabourin, Counsel to the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association, obtained from Dr. Selikoff a copy of the Selikoff letter to Dr. Bistowish along with his (Dr. Selikoff's) permission to give it to F. J. Solon, Jr. This gave us direct knowledge of the letter instead of the indirect knowledge we had had previously.
Now, in order to get "our own" letter of comment, Dr. Fred Pundsack of Johns-Manville who, with a group including
Castleman.CERT000424
Mr. .Sabourin, has been having exploratory scientific meetings with the Selikoff Mount Sinai group for several months, wrote to Dr. Selikoff on January 30th, requesting his comments on health aspects of a/c pipe. We understand
that Dr. Selikoff will answer this request - so that i n
the next two weeks, we should have our own letter from which we can excerpt for our position "background" paper. If this works out as scheduled we should have a final position paper ready by March 1st.
Assignment: F.J. Solon, Jr. to talk with Dr. Wright-- re possible research programs on the a/c pipe health question.
PROGRESS. Dr. Wright contacted Dr. Robert T. deTreville of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation, Pittsburgh, where much ' asbestos fiber research has been and is being carried on. Dr. deTreville's letter to Dr. Wright with an attached report from Dr. Paul Gross, shows that in tests already underway, involving rat feeding, no abnormalities have yet been found in the gastro intestinal tracts of these animals in the 21 months since the test program began. This is encouraging and we hope this preliminary report will be borne out on the final report when all animals have been processed. We have no date as yet for th^-s
final report.
Castleman.CERT000425
-o -
Sinee these tests involve chrysotile fiber only, Dr. Wright is now considering the advisability of a similar test program involving crocidilite fiber. This will be further discussed at a meeting on February 20.
Further on the Nashville "situation":
'
Attached are copies of two clippings from the Nashville
-- S-JUIUSJE.< January 17 and the Nashville Tennessean. January 19 showing that Dr. Bistowish is still openly opposing a/c pipe
despite the point of view expressed in Dr. Selikoff's
letter to him. At a meeting this past week with Moke Harris and Jay Baker of the J-M Pipe Division, we agreed on
strategy aimed at getting the "full story" into the
Nashville papers(i.e., Dr. Selikoff's letter to Dr. Bistowish
which takes a much more temperate view of the hazard than
Dr. Bistowish has thus far verbalized to the press and o t h e r s .)
WATER CONTAMINATION STUDIES
,
At the January 3rd meeting we covered briefly the water
test program we were getting underway at the Manville
Research Center. Attached is a confirming memo from Ed Fenner,
- Director of our Environmental Control Department regarding
that program.

Castleman.CERT000426

SUBJECT : Asbestos Feeding Study-- Preliminary Report
As part of our investigation of the bio--effects of asbestos, we prepared an intimate mixture of finely divided ball milled chrysotile asbestos so that the chrysotile constituted 5 Pe^csnt of the food by weight. This was fed to ten young growing rats for 21 months. A comparable control group of rats of the same age and weight was fed the same diet but without chrysotile.
The weight curves of the two groups of animals were not significantly different from one another.
At autopsy, 21 months after the beginning of the feeding experiment, no significant abnormality was found.
Sections were prepared from various portions of the gastro-intestinal tract as well as from the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen. Although all animals have not yet been processed, no abnormality has been found in the sections so far examined.

The water contamination studies planned by the in three groups. In the first two the samples checked as follows:
Research Center are collected will be
(1} Filtration tests, and microscopic examination of the particulate matter to detect asbestos, if present.
(2) Water hardness.
(3) Water pH.
(4) Iron content of the water.
The Group I program involves tests of water from Bound Brook, N. J. 'an all cast-iron pipe town" and Manville, N. J., "an all asbestos cement pipe town". The sampling and testing prog ram will begin immediately after the first of the year. Samples will be taken weekly from each town. The program will continue until definitive results are obtained.
The Group II test program involves water samples from the following cities:
Globe, Arizona San Diego, California Long Beach, California Providence, Rhode Island .
Wichita, Kansas Memphis (Capleville District),
Tennessee.
Two samples will be taken from each city. The first sample will be the source water before it has passed through asbestos-cement pip and the second will be water after it has passed through the pipe. Samples from Globe, San Diego, and Long Beach have been receive an
the others are due soon.

Mr. W. P. Raines Director of Public Relations Johns-Manvilie Corporation
2 2 East itOth Street 10016 New York, N.Y.
Dear Bill:
*
. . .
.
' .
Attached is a report from data of the U.S. Office of Vital Statistics con cerning trends in stomach cancer for the U.S. and selected cities.
The report essentially merely sets forth factual data from these statistics.
Considerable differences from year to year in the same cities and between
cities will be noted and should be expected from data of this type. Where
there is an up, down and up, or a down, up and dc;m, for the three years,
within the same range, there probably is no significance in these changes at
all.
.
.
Also, it should be remembered that, generally speaking, urban areas report a higher incidence of cancer of all types ('with the exception cf skin) than dc the more rural areas.
19^7 The table giving mortality ratios for stomach cancer in the U.S. shows a
downward trend from
to the present. Since this is the average for
steady the
entire country, obviously some sections will show higher and some lower inci
dence than for the U.S. as a whole. Data for the individual cities is not
available prior to i960. However, any marked deviation from the U.S. trend
since 19^7 would snow up in abnormally high figures for a particular city
-- which does not appear in any of the cities listed, keeping in mind that
the city incidence is going to be higher generally than the national average
as compared with the rural incidence. For example, Providence, R.I., which
shows the highest percent of stomach cancer is still not out of the range
that produces the U.S. average.
These figures clearly show, especially in the percentage of stomach cancer deaths to total deaths, that there is basically very little difference in trends among the cities even though the ranges from the lowest averages to the highest averages are fairly noticeable.
Y ou will also note that there are three random cities thrown in -- Toledo, Louisville and Birmingham -- which are left in because they show that the fluctuations or lack of it in the cities you gave me are not unusual. It
Castleman.CERT000440
Mr. W. P. Raines

might be wise to pick a few more cities of this type and drop in to further
illustrate these fluctuations since a couple of your cities do not look
"good" if you just consider the figures and nothing else.
,
Of course, the finest pair is the Knoxville-Nashville comparison, which, as you will note, we have given in a separate table.

Data Relating to Stomach Cancer
During the past 2 0 years, there has been a unique and marked drop
in the mortality from stomach cancer in the United States. The decline
in stomach cancer mortality since 19^7 has been steady and consistent, as
represented by the following table showing U.S. death rates per 1 0 0 ,0 0 0
population for "Malignant neoplasm of digestive organs and peritoneum, not '
specified as secondary." Source;

Since i960, the Office of Vital Statistics, has listed mortality
dat a from various cities in the United States. These are not death rates,
but actual numbers of deaths. Hovrever, comparable figures are given for
the United States as a whole.

The decline in the death rate from stomach cancer is reflected in the consistently smaller percentage every two years of stomach cancer
deaths related to all deaths from the 60 major causes. By way of comparison
here are figures for four cities in Tennessee.

It will be noted that the percent age figures for the Tennessee cities are lover than those for the United States as a vhole and generally comparable. However, in Nashville and Memphis the percentage of stomach cancer deaths to all deaths has shown a slight rise, while in Knoxville and Chattanooga the rate has been following the national trend.

i Councilman James J. La1 Penna, chairman of the coun

chases, said the invitation had been extended by the JohnsManville Co. which maintains a research center just outside New York.
LaPenna's committee voted to take the trip to determine if the pipe would be feasible for use here.
"THIS WILL be a work trip and it will not be an enter tainment one," LaPenna told the council. He said it had been estimated Metro would save $250,000 a year by using the pipe instead of cast iron
council and the press and television to New York."
He said his committee had considered the pipe and had recommended Metro continue
to use cast iron pipe. Taylor said it might be proper for LaPenna to make the trip,
but not a large group. "Why do they want to lake
you all if they don't expect something in return?" he
asked.

For the past 4% years Metro has bought all its cast iron pipe from a single concern-- Clow and Sons -- which has consistently submitted the low

said he agreed with Anglea,
adding, "I read about depart ment heads being in Hawaii, in Dallas, in Washington, just about everywhere. But when it comes time for a council man to go anywhere, there is
no money available. Councilman Mansfield Doug

M ETRO COUNCIL'S newly-cre ated watchdog committee on purchasing practices has decided to begin its investigation by look ing into the millions of dollars of cast iron pipe bought by local gov ernment eachyear.
The committee asked the ad ministration for detailed informa tionon biddingpractices,totalpipe purchased, total costs and the suc cessful bidder on each contract.
A recent investigation by this newspaper showed thatonefirmin Birmingham won all but two of more than 100 individual contracts for cast iron pipe purchased by Metro. The same company showed similar success in Knoxville, but consistently bid high in Chatta nooga and Memphis.
This naturally raises the ques tion of whether pipe purchases are made on truly competitive bids. Some spokesmen in the industry contend Metro could save 5250,000 a year on real competitive bids.
The committee also laid the -moundwork foracquiring informa tion on equipment and supplies, sale of surplus equipment, private useofgovernment vehicles,andan bids submitted to Metro.
In starting the investigation in the field of cast iron pipe, the com mittee has zeroed in on an area that could provide considerable
ment for the community.

' Gentlemen:
We have had an inquiry from a local health officer about
the carcinogenic effect of asbestos from A-C pipe in
drinking water.
.
We will decide about the effects of ingested asbestos,
but would like to know if you have any data about the
amount of .asbestos that might occur in drinking water.
How much is introduced during pipe repairs and tapping?
Does solution of the calcium out of the cement into the
water release asbestos fiber? Do you know anything about
a report "-that near Memphis, Tennessee, there was a pe
riod in one locality where the pH in the water was 10 or
11 and this resulted in a solution in the cement compon
ent of the pipes to such an extent that the water became
milky-" that we have been asked about.
I will appreciate your comments on this problem.

Asbssiios/[P>iDr''W3 ,, CancerJie HiMi
By JIM SQUIRES Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK -- There is no evidence to support a recent statement by a Nashville doc tor that use of asbestos-- ce ment water pipe might cause cancer, a noted cancer re searcher said here yesterday.
Dr. George Wright, chair man of The Institute for Oc cupational and Environmental Health, said he did not think . such a relationship "will ever be established."
WRIGHT, HEAD of the de partment of medical research in internal medicine at St. Luke's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, said a letter from Dr. James Snell, an assistant pro fessor at Vanderbilt Univer sity school of medicine, sug gesting such a relationship "apparently arises out of an incomplete perspective" of the problem.
Wright spoke to nine Metro councilmcn here to tour a Johns-Manville plant in New ark, N.J., a manufacturer of asbestos-cement pipe.
Snell sent a letter last month to Metro waterworks director Robert- L. Lawrence supporting Lawrence's deci sion to prohibit asbestor-ce-

NEW YORK-- Eight Metro councilman recommended yes terday that waterworks di rector Robert L. Lawrence allow manufacturers of r.sbestos-ccment pipe to bid on Metro pipe purchases.
The councilmcn urged that the bans against the firms be dropped niter a tour of the Newark, N.J., plant of JohnsMansvillc Corp.. a manufac turer of the asbestos-cement product.
"IT'S A SHAME that a product this good has been kept out of the bidding,''said Councilman Frank Oriffn. `T see no reason why these manufacturers cannot be given the opportunity to bid for our business."
James I.al'enna. chairman of the council purchasing com mittee, said the tour of the Johns-Mansville facility pro duced "overwhelming evi dence that asbestos-cement pipe is a quality product and widely used throughout the world."
Joining Griffin and LaPenna in the recommendation were Councilmcn Martin Garrett, John Fox, Mansfield Douglas. John Driver, Earl Shacklctt and Robert McBride.'
A NINTH councilman mak ing the trip, Tom Sharp, said he would make no recommen dation concerning the product pending further investigation. Sharp said he wanted to learn as much about the cast iron water pipe now being used by Metro as he learned about the asbestos-cement product dur ing the two-day visit here.
The councilmcn toured the facility at the invitation of Johns-Manville officials at no expense to Metro government. The firm had previously told the purchasing committee it was being excluded from bid- ding because of Lawrence's opposition to the use of asbes- ' tos-ccment pipe.
The purchasing committee has been investigating Metro's pipe purchasing practices
(Trurn to Page IS, Column 1)
Asbestos Pips
Use Backed
(Conlinucd From Page One)
since a probe hy THE NASH VILLE TENNESSEAN dis closed that a single cast iron manufacturer has gotten all Metro water pine business in the last four years.
THE FIRM. JAMES B. Clow ; & Son. was successful low bid- '
der on all pipe contracts,
while its three major compet- .
tors were equally successful in
the state's other major cities.
Griffin and LaPenna, after
viewing quality and durability
tests of the asbestos-cement
pipe, said it is "apparent"
Metro has been "victimized
by a lack of true competition
among cast iron pipe com
panies."
'
Comparing list prices of
asbestos-cement and cast iron
pipes, LaPenna estimated
Metro can save S525.000 over
the next la months by allow
ing asbestos-cement manufac
turers to bid against cast iron
companies.
"I am not saying we should
switch entirely to asbestos-
cement or that one product is '
superior," he said. "It is my j
personal feeling the two pro- i
ducts are comparable and all ,
vendors should be allowed to
bid."
:
LAPENNA SAID councilmen who toured the plant will pre- i
sent their findings to the full
purchasing committee later 1
this month. The committee
will make recommendations to
the council.
Comments from other coim-
cilmcn concerning asbestos-
cement pipe were:
John Fox: "I think these
firms have a good product
and should be allowed to bid.
If installed to specifications, i
the nature of the terrain will I
not matter."
. I;
Martin Garrett: "Our big gest problem is selling it to Mr. Lawrence. I personally think we should let the cep-
tractors buy the pipe and that both east i^nn and ashestos-
cemcnt companies be allowed 1
to.try for the business.
j
John Driver: "1was amazed | at the strength and quality i of this asbestos-cement ma- | tcrial, especially after what I
we had heard locally. I think [ the company should have the ] privilege of competitive bid ding. With expenses continu
ing to go up, it is advantage ous to us to save tax money."
Mansfield Douglas: "I was quite impressed and am con
vinced that the pipe is suf ficient to carry water under the stress and strain antici pated in Metro's system. I ! see no rcaon why these com- j panies are not allowed to bid."
Robert McBride: "I feel t there are places where as- i bestos-cemcnt might net work ;
in the local system. At the : same time there are nlaces ! where it will do the job as ! good as cast iron and at a ! much lower cost. With a
water-sewer expansion pro gram as large as ours, this is a good place for us to save a substantial amount of money."

Gentlemen t
We believe we can save some valuable time at our forthcoming January 3rd meeting, by sending you some Information, which you can read before hand. Accordingly, there are the following attachmentsi
1. The original article In the newspaper from Nashville, which represents the first known concern regarding a possible health hazard in the use of asbestos-cement pipe.
2. Later articles in the Nashville paper that were printed after several of the councilmenvLsited JohnsManville Research Center, and were also talked to by Dr. George Wright.
3. A copy of a report by W. C. Huper, entitled "Occupational and Environmental Cancers of the Respitory System", which also outlines many of the other known or suspected carcinogenic materials.

Castleman.CERT000479

4. A letter to Johns-Manville from Mr. McCabe of the
n
. S. Public Health Service.
5. A paper presented in England making a positive statement that t l w e is no danger from cancer from the use of asbestos-cement pipes.
6. A copy of a letter to us from Hill and Riowlten, outlining some statistics on the mortality from stomach cancer in the United States.
It may be that you have had access or have read several of these attachments before. Our purpose in sending them all, is to provide you some of the general background information on this subject so that it need not be repeated at our January 3rd meeting.
We have also recently learned of three other areas vfaere this question has been posed since the original Nashville article.
1. Officials of Fairfax County, Virginia showed our representatives a copy of the original Nashville article. Our customers inferred that this Nashville article was given to them by a cast iron competitor.
2. The Water Superintendent of the City of Jackson, Mississippi intended to pose this same question before the council at their regular meeting in December. This was postponed.
3. Dr. A. L. Gray, Director of the State Health Department of the State of Mississippi, has corresponded with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare concerning this general subject.
So much for the history and background of what has finally led up to our meeting of January 3rd. We will try to accomplish the following at this coming meeting.
Dr. George Wright, a leading medical researcher in the field of asbestos related environmental health problems-- who is the Director of Research at St. Luke's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio-- will speak to us about the entire field of asbestos as a possible health hazard.
With this background, we mould then like to cover with you some of the research in this area that our Company now has under way, and the possible need for additional and different types of studies

to be made. Then from these discussions, we need to further develop what data or material should be placed in the hands of our field representatives, in order for them to intelligently *n*wer customers* questions concerning the various health aspects.
Ke have also invited Mr. Eric Johnson, Secretary of the American Water Works Association, to our entire meeting.
You are also invited to bring your respective legal counsels to the entire meeting, since ours will be in attendance.
Very truly yours.

would-like to discuss briefly some considerations which wo believe to h i
I
important.
Maliirrinitt neoplasms produced by exposure to chemical agents or inniz-
in? radiation typically have a long latent period. That is to say. there is
I
a Mug delay between first exposure and the appearance of the neoplasm.
In the case of carcinogens'which can be eliminated from the body, re
peated contacts over a long period of time may be required. However, in
the ease of agents which arc not eliminated, exposure of the tissues is
continuous from time of first exposure. The probability that neoplasia
will occur and how soon it appears generally depend upon the degree of exposure.
Now let us consider the effects of exposure to an agent which can p r o duce neoplasia but which can also produce some other type of d is e a s e .
Here wo are dealing with the problem of competitive risks. If exposure
results in death from some other disease within ten or fifteen years, then,
because of the long latent period, it is very unlikely that neoplasia will
result from such exposure.
In these situations, the outcome depends in part upon the time required to produce the other disease in relation to the time required for the de velopment of neoplasia; and this in turn depends upon the degree of ex posure. Of equal importance is whether or not the other disease can be cured, or death delayed.
An historical review of the literature from this point of view is most interesting.
All of the early reports apparently concerned workers who were very heavily exposed to asbestos dust. This was long before the development of the sulfa drugs and antibiotics. Pulmonary diseases including tuber culosis and pneumonia were among the leading causes of death. Life ex pectancy in the general population was far shorter than it is today, and a relatively small percentage of people lived to an age where the incidence of cancer becomes high.
519 In 190G, Auribault reported the results of what was probably the first
study of mortality among asbestos workers.' Ills account is-intcrcsting.

In 1S90 ati asbestos spinning mill and weaving factory was established in (be neighborhood of Condc-sur-Noircau (Calvados). During the first five years of operation there was no artificial ventilation and the employees were heavily exposed to dust from the looms. According to Anribanlt, fifty workers died during this five-year period. Furthermore, the director, previously owner of a cotton mill, had recruited seventeen of his foimor employees and ``sixteen of them were wiped out by the Chalicosis.
In 191S, IIoiTmann was able to present some data from the industrial experience of the Prudential Life Insurance Company.' From 1397 to 1911 there were 13 deaths of asbestos workers and three of these were at-tributed to pulmonary tuberculosis. It is of interest that nine of these 13 asbestos workers died under the age of 44. This is in contrast with a much older average age at death reported for potters, molders, marble workers, and stone workers. HofTmann notes that "in the practice of American and Canadian life insurance companies, asbestos workers are generally de clined on account of the assumed health-injurious conditions of the in dustry." Ho also quotes K. L. Collins (Annual Report of the Chief In spector of Factories and Workshops for England and Wales for 1910) as having found five deaths in people having pulmonary tuberculosis in five years among a staff of under 40 workers in a factory weaving asbestos.
Since Hoffmann's time, many authors have reported findings in series of cases of asbestosis. Until after 1940, emphasis was placed upon the role of secondary infections, particularly pulmonary tuberculosis and bronchopneumonia. Forexample, Mcrcwcthcr',writing in 1933 commented:
Usually, the fatal issue is determined by the onset of some acute . infection with which the remaining undamaged tissue is quite un
able to cope: this is commonly a low grade bronchopneumonia. The same year, Gloyne4 stated that, "the writer has so far only seen one ashestos patient recover from bronchopneumonia." In two series of cases reported by Wood and Gloyne'in 1931 and Stone in 1940, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and pulmonary tuberculosis were the commonest terminal complications of asbestosis. However, Wood and Gloyne found two lung cancers and one cancer of the pleura in 20 deaths
of patients with asbestosis. With the passage of time, pulmonary infections were found less fre
quently and lung cancer was found more frequently in cases of asbestosis. We will not take the time to review the more recent literature, a t'l-ge part of which was written by people present at the Conference ami ade quately covered by other papers in this Annal. It is sufficient to say that since the advent of the antibiotics, workers have generally been saved
from death due to infectious pulmonary diseases resulting as a complica
tion of asbestosis. Thus they began to live long enough for the neoplastic
effects of exposure to asbestos to become manifest. Our study differs from the early studies in two important respects:

fl i The subjects had very light and intermittent exposure to asbestos dust
as compared with the daily heavy exposure of subjects included in the old
studies; and (2) Wc arc reportin': deaths which occurred after 1 9 4 2 ; that
is. after antibiotics became available for the treatment of pneumonia and
after death rates from tuberculosis had been greatly reduced in this coun
try. It also differs from most other studies in that we were able to trace
an entire group of workers including those who had retired and thr.se
who had left the trade.
The data we are presenting here is an extension of data we published
last year.1Therefore, we will start by briefly reviewing our first report, the
results of which are Summarized in T A B L E 1. The data shown hero are
confined to the experience of G32 men. They composed the total membership
of New York Local 12 and Newark Local 32 of the Internationa! Associa
tion of Heat and Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers as of January
1, 10-13. All of them were traced through December 31, 1062 and 2)5 of
them died during that period of time. Most of them had been first exposed
to asbestos dust at least 20 years prior to 19-13. The remainder passed the
20-ycar point between 19-13 and 1962; and we counted their experience
-only after they reached this point. .
T a b l e 1 shows the total numher of deaths and the number of deaths
from selected causes during each of four successive 5-year periods. For
comparison, wc show the number of deaths which would have been expected
among these asbestos workers had their age specific death rates been
exactly the same as those reported for all white males in the United Stales
during the same intervals of time.
First note the total number of deaths. During the first fivc-venr period,
fewer deaths occurred among the asbestos workers than would have been
expected on the basis of general U. S. death rates. This is accounted for
by the fact that all of the workers were actively at work in 1913; and
seriously ill men are unemployable. Thus their total death rates were low.
This selective effect gradually wore off. During the last 5-year period, S 3
of the workers died compared with 54.-1 expected. During the entire 20-
year period, 255 asbestos workers died compared with 203.5 expected.
Now observe the number of deaths from cancer of the lung and pleura.
During every 5-year period, fay more than the expected" number of as
bestos workers~dicd of this cause. Aitogethw 'tH erc'vvefc^i.ldoaths from

............
To" our_surprise, these asbestos workers also had extremely high death
rates attributed tcreancer of the stomach, colon and Tectum. ThS observed
number of deaths from these cancers was "29 compared_with an expected
9.4; a mortality ratio of 3 to 1.

An additional SPO men joined between January 1, 1943 and December 31, 1002. Tints a total of 1,522 were in the two locals at some time between 10-!". and 1002. Wc have traced all of them through August 19G-1 and Dr. SelikoiT had medically examined most of those who were living as of the end of 19G2. Of the 1,522 men, 2G1 were dead as of January 1, 10G2 and an additional -13 died between January 1, 19G3 and August 31, IDG 1. The findings shown in t a m .K 2 are based upon these 307 deaths.

Of the 307 deaths, 124 (40.4 per cent) were attributed to cancer, 17 (5.5 per centl were attributed to asbestosis and 16G (54.1 per cent) were attributed to various other causes. The Table shows the 124 neoplastic deaths classified by type of neoplasm. Fifty-three (or 43 per cent of the cancer deaths) were attributed to bronchogenic carcinoma. Ten were at tributed to mesothelioma, 34 to gastrointestinal carcinoma, 6 to upper respiratory cancer, 4 to cancer of the bladder, 7 to generalized carcinoma tosis and 10 to various other cancers.
In studies of this type, accuracy of diagnosis is of prime importance. Of the 53 deaths attributed to bronchogenic carcinoma, 34 occurred in
Castleman.CERT000488
524 . Annals New York Academy of Sciences
hospitals. In IS the diagnosis was based upon post-mortem examination and in 13 the diagnosis was based upon histologic examination of opera tive specimens, lie remaining 20 were based upon clinical evidence or information reported on death certificates. J. Churg has personally ex
amined specimens from 15 of these 53 cases. J. Churg has also personally examined sections on all of the 10 deaths
attributed to mesothelioma, tour of the 10 were pleural mesotheliomas
and six were peritoneal mesotheliomas. Of the 34 deaths attributed to gastrointestinal cancer (cancer of the
stomach, colon and rectum plus one cancer of the esophagus). 20 occurred in hospitals. Six of the diagnoses were based upon post-mortem examina tion, 19 were based upon operative specimens and nine were based upon less reliable evidence. J. Churg personally reviewed sections from 12 of
these cases.
_
Of the 27 other cancer deaths, 1G occurred in hospitals. Fifteen oi the
diagnoses were based upon autopsy or operative specimens, and 12 were
based upon less reliable evidence. _ Of the 17 asbestosis deaths, G diagnoses were based upon post-mortem
evidence and 11 upon clinical evidence only. In most prospective epidemiological studies, the investigators are forced
to be content with information from death certificates plus a little addi tional information. We think itfair to say that in this study we were able to obtain a reliable diagnosis on cause of death in the majority of cases. This does not imply that all of the cases were correctly diagnosed. For example, the diagnosis is certainly open to question in those cases where it was based upon clinical evidence or death certificate information only. This is particularly true in the case of deaths attributed to generalized carcinomatosis (with primary site unknown), and deaths attributed to stomach cancer or liver cancer. Furthermore, it is not unlikely that a few mesotheliomas were missed. Indeed, in addition to the 10 deaths attributed to mesothelioma there is one lesion which looks suspiciously like this dis
ease, but the diagnosis is not certain. Taken at face value, it would appear that asbestos workers have an
abnormally high risk of dying of gastrointestinal cancer. However, we will refrain from drawing conclusions on this matter at the present time.
Returning to the subject of pulmonary neoplasms, TAm.F. 3 shows the lapsed time from onset of exposure to time of death of 57 of our subjects who died of cancer of the lung and pleura. (A few recent cases are md included here.) Not a single one of these deaths occurred in less Mian 20 years after first exposure. The majority did not occur until after 30 years
and many did not occur until after 40 years. Obviously, lipht exposure to asbestos dust docs not lead iapi( y 0

ASBESTOS AND HUMAN HE4T.TM
INTRODUCTION
Asbestos, known since antiquity, has wide-spread and rportant aoDliratfnn,
- in our modern induntrUl society. Huh the 20th center,. belg'oo,u" s of ?he" L of
asbestos has come recognition of the need to cope with occupftional hazards
assocratcd with excessive inhalation of asbestos dust. This statement surcrarizes
the essential uses of asbestos, the known facts about health problems'associated with
occupational exposure to asbestos dust, and the'research bsrlng conducted to ef.tu
and reduce these health risks.

relationship between asbestos and health are complicated by trais diversity.
Chrysotile is a white magnesium silicate, can be attacked by acids, has a positive electrical^charge, is flexible and not easily pulverized. Crccidolite is a b lu e

NO RISK SHCHv'N FOR GENERAL PUBLIC
In studies of asbestos exposure and human health, research has not shown evidence
any risx to t.ie general public from the use of finished -Aestos products. There is
no scientific evidence that anyone has ever contracted any disease from exposure to
the wearing or wontqermg of brake linings, floor tile, rooming or other products
containing asbestos

The lungs of workers known to have repeated exposure to the inhalation of
/
asbestos fiber over a period of months or years contain myriiads of small microscopic
sized structures composed of a fiber coated with layers of g.rotein and iron pigment,
j
The fiber within the coating, under the circumstances, is assumed to be asbestos and
|
the small unit therefore is called an asbestos body." Thetr-e bodies are found in
2
the lungs cf those who are occupationally exposed to asbestos fibers, regardless of
j whether or not there is any coexisting evidence of asbestoses. Therefore, the bodies, ; as such,are not an indication of disease but rather only a Z previous exposure to
j asbestos fibers.
'
i
`
.
|
Recently, by utilizing special techniques, it has been, -shown that the lungs of
{ persons from the general population rather frequently contaila a very scant number of simil
| small bodies composed of fiber coated with protein and fron pigment. In these
> instances, it cannot be assumed that the fiber of these bodies is "asbestos," since
; other fibrous materials are kner.-n to develop a similar appearance within the lungs.
; For the present, the term "ferruginous" or iron-coated bedyr is more appropriate.
The finding of ferruginous bodies in such small number.-: in no way indicates that disease caused by asbestos fiber coexists and the presence of such bodies docs not, in any way, justify a diagnosis of asbestos-caused disease. If it is ultimately shown that these small bodies are in fact protein covered asbestos fibers their wide dispersion in the population would not be too surprising in- view of the many opportunities from baby powder to building construction, for a small num5er of asbestos fibers to exist from time to time in the air that the general public breathes. The presence of these few fiber bodies in the lungs, of the majority of the [population is not associated with specific lung disease but simply reflects the chance niiala'tion of fibrous material. The complete implications of large numbers of ferruginous Bxodies within the lungs await further research.
KNOWN AND SUSPECTED OCCUPATIONAL RISKS
For workers who handle asbestos fibers in mines, mills., factories, and some building and insulation trades, the industry shares with doctors, public health officials and others involved in industrial medicine a conoern about possible health effects from excessive on-the-job exposure to asbestos dust..
. ASBESTOSES: The industry long ago recognized the risk: of a particular lung disease called asbestosis among some workers and took steps to safeguard employees. This non malignant disease is brought on after inhalation of excessilsne concentrations of asbestos dust over a period of many years.
Asbestosis is one of the lung diseases called pneunocoeuxioses. Others are
silicosis, from silica (stone) dust; talcosis from talc; anitdhracosis, from coal dust.
These are considered industrial health risks against which itihc various industries have
instituted protective measures,
