Survey done at mixing operation. Worker!3-exposed to various kinds of dust, asbestos mica, silica, antimony, trichloride, limestone,: and gypsum. I.H. attempted to sample while asbest^.ffrss being charged into mixer, or at least find out what was being charged while the salale wa3 taken. USBK respirators approved for toxic dusts and organic vapors were diligently worn by employees while charging, several, obviously for the I.H's benefit.
Charging may take as long as 1 hour for the large mixer, twice every 3 days. The smaller .mixers take less, time-to-oharg~andrarersedrless~frequently. - ~
