He would feel ok on <br /> Mondays, by Wednesday or Thursday he would be sick, and <br /> would need to rest all weekend long in order to become well - <br /> again . r: r <br /> (B) 42-year-old male, recently deceased. This person,,!' <br /> died of cancer. Irrespective o w ether we succeed in 1 <br /> proving his cancer was caused by Marley, his exposures are <br /> extensive . This man was a carpenter-lumber hauler for 17 <br /> years at Marley. Before he died he provided his wife with <br /> the following information: Except for eye goggles, Marley <br /> never provided the employees with protective outer clothing <br /> or gloves . He was contaminated on his arms and hands by the <br /> green toxic treating solution ( from contact with the wood) . <br /> He also came home every day smelling intensely of noxious , <br /> volatile inking compounds . <br /> We are accurately informed that the sawing or drilling <br /> of treated lumber did occur and that this, and asbestos <br /> fabrication, happened without adequate protection of <br /> employees . <br /> I would appreciate it if you could give me any <br /> information you have on the inking solution or stamp pads <br /> used by the carpenters . In addition, I am now concerned <br /> that, for one reason or another, the large quantities of <br /> sawdust which covered peoples ' houses (one inch deep <br /> per night ) may not have been inert . <br /> While recently reviewing the documents which .we <br /> received from the State and the EPA, I came across a letter <br /> written by Sue Sher. (Document appended ) . I do not wish to <br /> imply there is anything "wrong" with the letter since I do <br /> not know the exact context in which it was written; however, <br /> I would suggest that the need now exists to have any health <br /> problems possibly inflicted upon the neighborhood evaluated. <br /> I shall discuss this with Dr . Goldman at DOHS, Berkeley. I <br /> would appreciate your comments on further sampling of <br /> drainage ditches (particularly ) where they leave Marley, the <br /> soil under Marley 's main parking lot at the south yard , and <br />
