Nadleal Departaent. St. Louis Narch 4, 1971 Askaral Latter froa MacMillan Bloedel United T. W. Oneson Monsanto Canada Ltd. V. B. Papageorge, WFAFA I would suggest that you point out to this cuatoaer that Askaral fluids have been used throughout the alaetrieal industry for 40 years. Monsanto has Manu factured this fluid for this length of tlas with no difficulty experienced with our own production person nel and with only nlnor incidences occurring with our oustoaers. I have attached a oopy of the Medical Departnent atate- aent covering Askaral fluids. In answer to the spaciflo questions posed by Nr. J. N. Orahaa of the subject ooapany, X would answer thea as follows! - 1. Kxposure to skint Workers should not have repeated or prolonged exposure to Askaral rluids because or their solvent properties. Bxoessive exposure causes skin defatting and will create a chapped-like appearance on the workers' skin. 2. Inhalation exposure! At roan teapereture Askaral fluids pose no inhalation probleas because of extremely low vapor pressure. If the fluid is handled at elevated temperatures, proper exhaust ventilation should be used.
