Union Carbide Institute Plant Asbestos Monitoring Memos: Tank 4621 Demolition (H. H. Frazier, 1978) and Powerhouse Insulation Removal (W. F. Blythe, Jr., 1977)

Two Union Carbide internal memos with a data table, reporting asbestos air monitoring at the Institute, West Virginia plant. The July 21, 1978 memo gives fiber counts from the removal of asbestos-containing Kaylo insulation from Tank 4621. The August 25, 1977 memo reports air samples from insulation removal at the powerhouse and compares them with the OSHA 8-hour limit; a table of those results follows.
