Preliminary industrial hygiene report and attached asbestos dust study sheet for one breath-zone air sample taken on 10-19-72 from a Brown & Root insulator tearing out Castelite insulation at No. 1 Olefins. The sample counted 11 fibers per cubic centimeter longer than 5 microns, and the report states this exceeded the OSHA 8-hour average and ceiling limits and supports the Type C respirator requirement.
