Glenda J. Spencer to E. W. Shortridge Transmitting Airborne Asbestos Counts for King City Bagging and Palletizing of Calidria RG-244 (1978)

Internal correspondence from Glenda J. Spencer to E. W. Shortridge at King City, attaching results of ceiling counts on short-term personal air samples taken April 19, 20, 25 and 26, 1978 during bagging and palletizing of Calidria RG-244. The attached report gives the sampling and counting method, the OSHA limits cited, a description of operations, and a table of chrysotile and possible amphibole fiber counts. A postscript to Shortridge says three samples could not be counted because of labeling problems.
