To: Mr. G. Ille' From: M. L. Davis CELANESE ENGINEERING RESINS Cheracel Plane Bishop, Texas MLD-43-86 May 29, 1986 ANALYSIS OF WHITE POWDER FROM FILING CABINETS IN PERSONNEL OFFICE Per your request, a sample of white powder from the fire-retardant filing cabinets located In the Industrial Relations Department office was sent to NATLSCO for analysis. As these filing cabinets were several years old, there was some concern that the material might be asbestos. Results from NATLSCO show that the material does not contain asbestos, nor does it contain significant levels of antimony, arsenic, quartz, or selenium. The material consists mostly of cellulose fibers and binder material. As such, the powder poses no health or disposal hazards. MLD/erg Distribution: G. D. Boyd R. B. Regan E. A. Thomas L. M.
