You may find this information significant for operations involving asbestos removal. During the public hearings on the OSHA asbestos standard this past summer, there was considerable controversy about the effectiveness of disposable respirators in providing protection against asbestos fibers. In a limited study, Du Pont found that disposable respirators provide protection equivalent to that provided by re-usable, elastomeric facepiece respirators. Richard G. Hanlon RGH:jrac Enclosure /;:>
