M. F. Stowers to G. W. Phares on Asbestos Exposure Monitoring During Steam Line Insulation Stripping at the Institute Plant (1985)

Internal memo reporting asbestos exposure monitoring done April 16, 1985 while two construction insulators stripped about 20 ft. of old insulation from a six inch steam line at the SEVIN unit at the Institute plant. The memo states both samples were well below the 2.0 fibers per c.c. permissible exposure limit and asks that the employees be told their results. Page 2 is a litigation-file notice about retaining the document, and page 3 is an attached, largely garbled sampling data sheet.
