Subject
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE INFORMATION - MANVILLE PLANT
SOME TIME AGO I DISCUSSED THE DATA CONTAINED ON THE
ATTACHED SHEET WITH YOU
THIS IS A LIST OF ALL THE
PNEUMOCONIOSIS CASES AT THE MANVILLE COMPLEX
THE FIRST COLUMN INDICATES THE DATE OF DIAGNOSIS
THE
SECOND COLUMN DESIGNATES THE NUMBER OF CASES DIAGNOSED
IN THAT PARTICULAR YEAR
THE THIRD COLUMN INDICATES
LENGTHS OF SERVICE IN YEARS
IN OTHER WORDS IN 1932
FOUR CASES OF PNEUMOCONIOSIS WERE DIAGNOSED
THREE OF
THOSE FOUR CASES HAD 12 YEARS EXPERIENCE ONE HAD 15
YEARS EXPERIENCE
IN 1943 THREE CASES WERE IDENTIFIED--
ONE CASE WITH ONLY TWO YEARS OF EXPOSURE THE SECOND WITH
14 YEARS OF EXPOSURE AND THE THIRD WITH 27 YEARS OF
EXPOSURE
AS YOU CAN SEE MANY OF THE EMPLOYEES IN
THOSE EARLY YEARS HAD VERY FEW YEARS OF EXPOSURE BEFORE
THEY CONTRACTED SOME DEGREE OF PNEUMOCONIOSIS
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IN THE YEAR 1971 SIX CASES
WERE IDENTIFIED
IN 1972 NO CASES WERE IDENTIFIED
IN
1973 ONLY TWO CASES WERE IDENTIFIED
IN 1974 TEN CASES
WERE IDENTIFIED
THERE ARE MANY CONCLUSIONS THAT COULD
BE DRAWN FROM THIS DATA
THERE ARE MANY EXTRAPOLATIONS
THAT COULD BE MADE FROM THIS DATA
AS YOU MAY KNOW WE ARE CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN A VERY MASSIVE
STUDY OF OUR MANVILLE POPULATION TO FURTHER OUR UNDERSTAND-
ING OF THE ASBESTOS DISEASE QUESTION THIS STUDY
IS BEING CONDUCTED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR JERRY CHASE
WITH LOCATION ASSISTANCE OF CLIFF SHECKLER
BECAUSE OF THE
THE STUDY WE WILL NOT HAVE THE COMPLETED RESULTS FOR AP-
PROXIMATELY THREE TO FOUR YEARS
HOWEVER MANY ANSWERS
SHOULD BE FORTHCOMING AT THAT TIME
