G. W. Phares to B. H. Avashia and Others on Asbestos Monitoring at the Institute Plant SEVIN Unit (1985)

Internal Union Carbide memo reporting asbestos exposure monitoring on April 9, 1985, when two construction insulators stripped about 20 ft. of old insulation from a 6 inch steam line at the SEVIN unit at the Institute plant. It states both samples were below the 2.0 fibers per c.c. permissible exposure level; an attached table lists results of 0.10 and 0.20 fibers/cc for two named employees.
