J. D. Young to K. B. Lanham on Dust Sampling of "Carey-Temp" Insulation Block Cutting (1965)

Internal correspondence from Industrial Hygiene reporting on a dust sampling series run in the Insulation Fabrication Shop while a head grinder machine cut "Carey-Temp" insulation block. It said the dust-exposure health hazard of the operation was very slight if done similarly to the test runs, recommended completing planned machine and exhaust-system changes, and proposed another round of sampling afterward.
