Asbestos, Dear Dr. Pufahi, 12th January, 1966. reca11 that from 'time to time we h ave sent you extracts from publications which indicate concern felt in industry on the detrimental effect asbestos has on health. , ' We tried to obtain some information for Southalls Paper Mills, who wanted to use our asbestos in a sanitary tissue of the Internal type. They were concerned about possible danger to health. We were unsuccessful then, in obtaining answers to their Specific questions, and could only deni with them in very- general terms. However, 1 fool that wo may now be able to bo more specific when the occasion ' arises by using the information contained in the documents, British Industrial Biological Research Association and Report of Proceedings of an International Conference on the Biological Effect of Asbestos, copies of which we enclose with this letter. We believe the documents are well worth having studied by the Medical Adviser to the Corporation, and it is our belief that wo may well bo able to lake advantage of the fact that our material supposedly contains so little of.the dangerous trace elements that are mentioned in those documents. If this is so, then we certainly have good copy for publicity use. You will be Inheres bod to no bs that two American medical nubhorlbl'-r; attended the? International Conference, namely Dr. ll.E. Ayer, Public Health Gervice, Clnclnnatti, and Dr. I.J. Gelikoff, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York. We would appreciate your comments and conclusions in due course. P.R.
