fluorine levels, test results have been distributed to Bldg. 15 employees. In addition, ~ have now re-sampled.~id~. I~ worke~ !or updated organic fluo{~ne measurements..

UnforZunately, our sampling h~d not allowed her eng oe ie See sufficient time to elapse since you initiated a major program to i A peep rr review personnel handling of fluorochemicals.
