SECTION II - HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS , Contains a naturally occurring mixture or amphibole trantairttnant?;-- Uuzubleiide and tremolite. The predominant morphology of the contaminant is platy Cnon-fibrous)j OSHA Regulation 1910.1001 defines tremolite as asbestos. Less than 5% of the con taminant is in a form which can be fibrillated by physical handling to release air borne "asbestos fibers". Regulation 1910.1001 places a limit of 2 "asbestos fibers"/ cc; 8 hour time weighted average and a maximum of 10 "asbestos fibers"/cc at any one time for airborne fiber exposure. The physical handling given to expanded vemiculite can release both airborne fibers and nuisance dust. Extensive sampling of a wide variety of work stations has shown that airborne fiber levels are substantially lower than the Regulation 1910.1001 limits for permissible exposure.
