Memorandum reporting the analysis of water samples marked "effluent," "river-below" and "river-above" for asbestos content. It describes the centrifuging and residue-weighing procedure and a magnesium analysis of the effluent residue, and gives extrapolated chrysotile fiber counts for the effluent and river-below samples. It cautions that the results could be deceiving because the extrapolation assumed all magnesium was present as chrysotile.
