Cralley report on the Environmental Health Study being conducted by the U.S,Public Health Service. Dr. Cralley, Scientist Director, has been a key figure _______ the Health Study slice Its inception several years ago., ^"bb"*002*1069 | Dr. Cralley reported on the progress of the Health Study to oat; ,and plans for its continuation. Expects to resume plant studies in June of this year, but no firm schedule has been Bet up as to order of visiting plants. Mentioned that exposure to trace metals, as well as asbestos, was of interest as they are trying to find out if trace metals such as nickel, c bait, manganese, etc., ar hazardous bo what extent, this document was noi a record of PPG INDUSTR.ES, INC. 01D NOT COME TROM IT'S Files and cannot be authentica. ld BY PPG INDUSTRIES, INC. Minutes of the Beard of Governor's meeting, continued: Pago -2 In connection with the plant study a ''profile" la to he developed on each person, and it. is hoped that this can he correlated with the person's health. The past record study of individuals is con sidered important, even though there is considerable work involved to-examine past records. Dr. Cralley suggests they micro-film as a minimum degree of expense to Individual companies. Should he ready to start this very soon. Th TJ.I.C.C. and Asheatosis Research Council will sponsor a Seminar in the summer 1969, and the tentative location is Cardiff, Wales. The British' Occupational Health Association have set up certain standards, by fiber length, for M.P.P.C.F. Dr. Cralley feels that by good engineering practices the level of dust concentration can be kept at 5 MPPCF as a maximum, and this would mean safety for operators exposed to chrysotile asbestos fibre. For Amosite fibre, however, respirators should be used. Cliff Sheckler, of Johns-Manvllle Corporation commented that, while important progress has been made in dust control, It could well be that changes in manufacturing operations will need to be made in future, as removal of dust by air suction may not be sufficient. Johns-Manville is trying to find an answer to the problem of better dust control. Be believes also that the asbestos Industry must be prepared to answer their customer's questions as to what hazards, if any, exist in handling and using products containing asbestos fibre. Mr. Sheckler said that in his opinion we don't know the dose level as yet, that constitutes a hazard of exposure. A long discussion period followed the report by Dr. Cralley. President Rainey thanked Dr. Cralley for his attendance at this m ting. Our guests left the meeting at this point, and routine matters on the Agenda were taken up. 3. The minutes of the last meeting were presented for reading. On motion made by E.A.Schuman, seconded by L.E, Moody, it was voted to em$.t the reading of the minutes. 4.

I~faa~o02lo There was general agreement that it was an admirable project, but Inasmuch as Mr. Bettes had not asked for any support from A-T.I., that it would suffice for the Secretary to inform Mr. Bettes that the Board had been informed of his project, thought it an admir able one, and commended him for undertaking it. 10.
