Ruth Clise to D. L. Johnson on Asbestos Monitoring During Insulation Stripping in the 704 Powerhouse, South Charleston (1979)

Internal industrial hygiene report on a survey of October 26, 1979, measuring construction workers' exposure to asbestos fibers while insulation was stripped from an exhaust duct in the Building 704 Powerhouse. It reports that the dust was too heavy on two breathing-zone samples to count fibers, gives results for the other samples (0.28 to 3.93 fibers >5 µm/cm3), and recommends showing workers the industrial hygiene slide presentation on handling asbestos materials.
