Kemron and JHM Laboratories Asbestos Air-Sample Analytical Reports for Union Carbide, Sistersville/Long Reach, WV (1986–1987)

Compilation of outside-laboratory analytical reports (Kemron Environmental Services and JHM Laboratories Inc.) on air-filter samples submitted by Union Carbide's Sistersville/Long Reach, West Virginia facility, with some internal spectroscopy laboratory worksheets and handwritten sample lists. The reports give fiber counts per filter or asbestos fibers per cc for numbered samples, mostly dated between 1986 and 1987.
