Brussels, 12 October 1994 To the attention of Mrs. Meredith Scheck The Vinyl Institute Fax. 00-1-201-890-7029" This note to let you know that I have been contacted recently by Mr. R. Holtzcr M.D. from California Environmental Protection Agency. Hazardous Waste Toxicology Section, requesting information about the cases of ASL linked to occupational exposure to VCM, The Agency is conducting a "Health risk assessment of exposure to Vinyl Chloride in a residential community immediately adjacent to and downwind from a closed hazardous waste landfill'. I sent some extracts of the ASL Register, and specified that all the reported ASL cases occured after a continuous and very high exposure to VCM and that, so far, there has not been any ASL cases reported by workers first exposed after the mid-seventies, which is the time when exposure to VCM was drastically reduced in Vinyls plants.
