Please find attached the analytical results for the bulk asbestos samples received 12/08/95 under Project No. ASB 1195.
The bulk asbestos has been analyzed by visual estimation based on EPA-600/M4-82-020 (Dec. 1982) optical microscopy test method.
I can be reached at Ext. 240 if you have any questions or comments.
