Special Bulletin No. 37 of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, dated October 1, 1934, the first part of its asbestosis study by Dr. William B. Fulton and three chemists. Drawing on about 150 samples, it describes how dust was sampled in the breathing zone of workers in asbestos fabricating plants: a modified impinger carried in a leather chest holster, ethyl alcohol instead of distilled water as the collecting medium because asbestos dust clumped in water, and a settling time of at least 30 minutes before counting. Unlike the library's Special Bulletin No. 42 (1935), which reports Parts II and III (dust levels in four plants and examinations of textile workers), this part has no plant results or medical findings.
