September 23, 1986 Gary M. Marsh, Ph.D. XJniveristy of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health Department of Biostatistics, Room A416 130 DeSoto Street Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15261 Dear Gary: Enclosed are two lists concerning exposure categorizations for the Springfield Plant MortalityStudy. One of the lists corresponds to Attachment 2 that was included in your letter dated March 12, 1986- The other corresponds to the attachment that was included in Michele LaValley's letter dated July 22, 1986. Both lists together should provide you with information for assigning post-1972 five-digit department/occupation codes to an appropriate occupational exposure category. I plan to send you additional exposure categorization information for other chemicals of interest, e.g. formaldehyde, acrylonitrile, styrene, and vinyl chloride, sometime in the near future. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Epidemiologist ATTACHMENT bcc: W.R. Gaffey - F1WK S. Minshall - 1870 J.H. Spraul, MD - F4WB J.L.
