Memorandum from M. A. Peters reporting experimental work on a method of estimating airborne asbestos by measuring magnesium with atomic absorption spectroscopy instead of counting fibers. It covers reagent and filter blanks and air samples from four Florida plants and American Biltrite in Trenton, N.J., and concludes that the lack of correlation between fiber count and magnesium makes the method unreliable at that time. Attached are Tables I and II and two figures.
