Five one-page 'Industrial Hygiene Results' reports, each dated April 6, 1987, giving airborne asbestos fiber results from January and February 1987 sampling. The sampled jobs were removal of an asbestos gasket, glove-bag removal of asbestos from a heater, de-insulation of K-6 in the Silanes Reactor Tower, a K-40 operator's regular duties, and the Emulsion Building area. Each report compares results with the OSHA permissible exposure limit and action level and makes recommendations.
