To: Analysis:
Caroline DeYong Southwestern Refinery Corpus Christi, Texas
The following samples were submitted for analysis: Three membrane filter samples and two blanks for asbestos count.
Method:

The fiber content of each filter sample was analyzed following NIOSH procedure 7*100. Wedges from each filter were examined at 450 power using a phase contrast microscope. Fibers longer then five (5) microns with a length-to-width ratio of 3:1 or more were counted as asbestos.
Results:
The results are found on Table 1 and 2.
Discussion: The present 0SHA permissible exposure limit (PEL) for asbestos is 0.2 fibers/cc.
