Five 'Industrial Hygiene Monitoring for Asbestos' report forms covering workers wetting, bagging and stripping insulation in Bldg. 777. On 8/18/80 and 8/19/80, R. E. Templeton's samples gave time-weighted averages of 2.8 and 2.5 fibers >5 µm/cm3, with individual samples of 6.3, 3.9 and 10.1, against a listed OSHA allowable of 2. On 8/25/80, samples for Templeton, D. C. Shamblin and C. Miller gave time-weighted averages below 0.1, with stripping done outdoors and wetted by rain.
