2 Q In the '50s, did the ACGIH also have TLVs?
3 A Yes. They republished their list every
4 year, on an annual basis, and for some things they
5 were changed, if it was more evident that the level
6 they previously recommended was not safe.
7 The level for asbestos, however, remained at
8 5 million particles per cubic foot from '46 to '68.
9 Q So the ACGIH, the jury has already heard,
10 were made up of people who were government --
11 A They worked for either state government,
12 federal government, territorial governments, both
13 physicians and industrial hygienists.
14 Q They weren't associated with industry?
15 A No.
16 Q So did they have this information about Doll
17 in 1955?
18 A Sure.
19 Q And, Doctor, we heard from Dr. Dement and he
20 said that the TLVs weren't concerned with cancer; is
21 that correct?
