t:."7 ^'jEp *?#- { AC O 3 . sAf-tM-ZQP White Plains, N. Y., January 20, 1982 f RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT TEX-87 Mr. F. J. Beall Houston, Tx. Reference is made to your memoranda of December 29, 1981 and January 14, 1982. Tile question raised by Eagle Point Plant deals with l workers who handle asbestos in the course of their work, i and whether or not air-borne asbestos fibers might reach \ the respiratory tract through the ear canals via a perfor- \ ated ear drum. I do not feel that this is a real danger. I would also subscribe to your suggestion that employes with per forated ear drums may use respiratory protection, all other requirements being met, in environments not immediately dangerous to life and health. \ ers:ag 1 RTR OWR tUEugene' Stanton, M.
