QS-I31J4S CAftCTMmE EAftft February 28, 1983 MR JOHN L MYERS PRCD MGR UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION PC iOX K KING CITY CA 93930 Dear Sir/Madane, It has been and continues to be the policy of Carey Canada Inc. to encourage and promote the safe use of our asbestos fiber. We at Carey Canada Inc. are making every effort to eliminate asbestos-associated diseases among all persons who may be exposed to asbestos fiber including employees who are exposed on their jobs to airborne asbestos fiber. This is, we feel, an achievable goal. Carey Canada Inc. is fully prepared to do its part and your direct and continuing efforts are equally essential in order to accomplish this objective. Epidemiological studies indicate that exposure to elevated concentrations of airborne asbestos fiber is associated with a significant risk of developing asbestosis, cancer of the lung, or mesothelioma (a fatal cancer of the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity). Studies also indicate that asbestos workers who smoke have a significantly increased chance of contracting lung cancer. Recent results of long term research into asbestos derived diseases indicate that asbestosis and lung cancer, in non-smokers, is dose related. .. ./2 A24t1 X 414258
