A U.S. Bureau of Mines technical progress report from June 1973 by L. A. Schutz, Walter Bank and George Weems on airborne fiber levels in the country's asbestos mines and mills. Starting in late 1971, they sampled three of four active mills and two of six California open-pit mines, counting fibers longer than 5 micrometers by microscope. They found low concentrations in the mines but mill levels well above 5 fibers per milliliter of air.
