FYI - We have a potentially emotional problem in the Lab you
should be aware of. One of the shift leaders, ;
in the
Lab expressed concern over personal health hazards related to
sampling of PCB's - either as Aroclor per se or as sewer samples.
We discussed with Heisler and set up to run blood tests. Results
are per attached memo.
As I read this and as I understand the medical interpretation, we
do not have a problem related to PCB's. However, the emotion
c^n well come from the apparently unrelated liver abnormalities
found with both ;
and
. i has been a rabble
rouser in the past and may or may not create problems. ;
is
less likely to, in our judgement.
Despite this potential we need to feed back to those who participated
and plan to do so quickly. Hap will tell all of them that no problems
from PCB's were detected and advise them that they can talk to
Dr. Osland to get more info if they care to. He will advise
and
of the detection of the liver abnormality, stressing
absolute lack of any PCB detection and strongly recommend that
they see Dr. Osland.
