FRICTION MATERIALS STANDARDS INSTITUTE, INC., EAST 210 ROUTE 4, PARAMUS, NJ 07652 July 19, 1982 To: Health and Environmental Affairs Committee Subject: Draft Report of the study "Investigation of Health Hazards in Brake Lining Repair and Maintenance Workers Occupationally Exposed to Asbestos" You will recall that after the last meeting of the Health and Environment al Affairs Committee, I wrote to NIOSH asking for their final report. I have not received any reply from NIOSH. However, Bob Pigg of the Asbestos Information Association was able to get a copy from NIOSH. I am enclosing the entire report which takes about 90 pages. As a matter of record, two pages were missing from the copy I received--pages 22 and 45. I did not include some additional copy which consisted of blank forms, blank medical reports and the like. Mr. Pigg advised that they had contacted NIOSH, and a party in Cincinnati has indicated that he would welcome comment on this paper: Sanford Leffingwell, MD NIOSH Robert A. Taft Laboratories Mail Stop F-5 4676 Columbia Parkway Cincinnati, OH 45226 (513) 684-2145 Mr. Pigg indicated that he had distributed this paper among his Members and that it is likely that the AIA would be commenting directly. If Members individually wish to comment, those comments would be welcome. If the Institute is to comment, that output would come from this Committee. EWD/e E. W.
