DISCUSSION
FROM THE AUDIENCE: I assume the dust counts have been collected with impinger, and microscopically counted?
1
DR. GOODMAN: We have used a new Bausch Lomb electronic instru ment. We have tried to correlate the Bausch & Lomb with the impinger method, but there seemed to be difficulty. The accuracy of the impinger method is only 10 to 15 percent plus or minus, with two people doing the counting: whereas the Bausch &i Lomb instrument gives more consistent results by eliminating the human element.
FROM THE AUDIENCE: The dust count is much higher with the Bausch & Lomb: is there a correlation?
DR. CRALLEY: The correlation is made on the same type of dust eval uation that was made in the early 1930's so it did have an internal com parative value, though we do not know what the counts mean precisely. An interesting side comment: this is one of the plants that
