Memorandum reporting analysis of three water samples labeled "effluent," "river-below" and "river-above" for asbestos content, using centrifuging, chemical analysis for magnesium, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. It reports definite chrysotile in the effluent, trace chrysotile in the river-below sample and none detectable in the river-above sample, and cautions that the fiber-count extrapolation can be deceiving.
