Contains less than 2.4 % by weight of a naturally occurring contaminant treaolite - OSHA Regulation 1910.1001-defines, tremolite as asbestos.- ` Some forms of tremolite ` .
are platy. Other forms .can be fibrillated by physical handling to release airborne ,, "asbestos fibers.". Regulation 1910.1001 places a limit of 2 "asbestos fibars"/cc;
8 hour time weighted average and a maximum of 10 "asbestos fibersM/cc ' at any one time for airborne fiber:exposure.
The normal physical handling"given" to" vermiculite concentrate can create an airborne "icaf- level in excess of OSHA Standards. -Compliance with standards can be assured ,, _ by .-various methods:' enclosure, .exhaust ventilation and dust collection.
