Dear Mr. McMillani
Subject1 U.S.P.H.S. Asbestos Dust Studies Report - Maroh 27, 1968
I have reviewed the subject report to you from J. R. Lynch, a copy of'v' which was sent to me at my request. This showed a significant healths !. haaard existed from asbestos dust Inhalation* in moat operations surveyed The only exceptions were the curing oven man and'ttuT box maker. Similar findings have been made in previous industrial hygiene surveys, the most
recent of which was done by Mr. Destefano in November 1966. You must anticipate that both some cases of asbestosls and an increased incidence
of pulmonary carcinoma will develop in your enployee population as a result of continued exposure to these levels for 15 or more years* I strongly recommend appropriate steps be taken as soon as possible to.-v reduce asbestos dust exposure of your employees to safe levels. - J .)
Sincerely,
Lee B. Orant, M.D.
