Internal Union Carbide letter reporting dust sampling for 'Black Beauty' in the Sandblast Shed and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) sampling in the Paint Preparation Shed at the 511 Construction Institute Plant, May-June 1982. It says the 10 mg/m3 total-dust standard was not exceeded, MEK averages were below 200 ppm but short-term levels might exceed 300 ppm, and an exhauster fan is recommended. A handwritten cover note suggests Mr. Smith accept Patel's offer of help installing a ventilation fan in the paint shed, and an attached table lists the sample results.
