Final report to the California Air Resources Board (Interagency Agreement ARB 3-688) on airborne chrysotile measured by transmission electron microscopy near the Union Carbide asbestos mill south of King City, California, during August and November 1974. It reports downwind fiber concentrations roughly two orders of magnitude above upwind, identifies windblown ore and tailings piles as the apparent main source, and includes the laboratory's sample-preparation method as an appendix.
