"In almost all cases where there is a strong statistical relationship between mesothelioma and the inhalation of asbestos, crocidolite and/or amosite have been involved. Where asbestos exposure has been limited to chrysotile (RG-244 is chrysotile) there is strong evidence that no excess mesotheliomas will occur.".

    21. 21 Why did UCC give customers the wrong information regarding Calidria? They had a toxicology problem to sell

    22. 22 Toxicology was a problem March 24, 1966 OPINION: UCC acted in concert with other corporations through the AIA and IHF to make sure very few people [were] have been paying attention," to the health problems of asbestos and to limit governmental action to protect the public. This was wrong and contrary to contemporaneous health & safety standards. Opinion: UCC increased marketing efforts in response to adverse health and safety information on asbestos health risks. This was wrong and contrary to contemporaneous health and safety standards.March 24, 1966 OPINION: UCC acted in concert with other corporations through the AIA and IHF to make sure very few people [were] have been paying attention," to the health problems of asbestos and to limit governmental action to protect the public.

    32. 32 "Of the four, three are proven bad actors whereas the fourth (which they claim is the Calidria type) is much more innocuous...Union Carbide claims they have sufficient toxicological data that places Calidria in the nuisance dust category and distinctly separates it from emotional generalizations associated with generic asbestos." Dow Believed UCC OPINION: UCC knew that exposures to TJC products were above the TLV and knew they had a legal duty to warn but failed to do so. This was wrong and contrary to contemporaneous health & safety standards. Opinion: UCC misled customers.OPINION: UCC knew that exposures to TJC products were above the TLV and knew they had a legal duty to warn but failed to do so.

Substitutes were available for asbestos. Every lost life was appreciable and substantial.May 30, 1975 Opinion: This is wrong no preventable death or injury is ever acceptable.

    43. 43 March 25, 1974 Opinion: This is contrary to generally accepted principle of substitution of a safer for a more hazardous product. It appears that profit superceded health & safety concerns for UCC. This was wrong. Misinformation on health & safety should not be given to customers to promote sales or for any other reason.March 25, 1974 Opinion: This is contrary to generally accepted principle of substitution of a safer for a more hazardous product.
