Number of blood-lead results which exceeded 30 ug/100 g. of whole blood - 0 No blood-lead examinations were performed in 1994 because no lead containing oonpounds were produced in 1993 and there were no lead containing compounds in our 1994 miy at the time this testing would have been performed. In October of 1994 we did consume 12,479 pounds of a lead containing raw material during a nin< day emergency automotive run. We plan to conduct the blood lead tests again in 1995 as a result of this unexpected lead useage. NGC 15513
