Union Carbide Industrial Hygiene Asbestos Monitoring Reports for Silanes, Polymers and Monomers Areas, Prepared by C. R. McMillan and T. L. Grittie (1987)

Twelve pages of industrial hygiene monitoring and results reports dated June and July 1987, covering airborne asbestos sampling taken February to April 1987 around insulation removal, glove bag use and asbestos insulation in Silanes, Polymers and Monomers areas. Each report lists sample results in fibers/cc against the PEL/TWA, with discussion and recommendations, and one reports a breathing-zone sample above the 0.2 f/cc limit.
