Dear Qulat:
Tha attached list* represent operator employee a who hare had vinyl chloride expo aura atnca tha proceas atarted early~nTT940. Laborera, maintenance em ployee a, and product handlera wty h^va bean expoaed in theaa arena and/or in Vlnyllte Shipplnf (PVC) have not/included. The pravlona Hat a which I for warded to yon did include avaryone except maintenance and product handlera (Vinyl ita Shipping).
Liata for Bulldlnga 109 and 110 and Building 115 do not include amployaaa with iaaa than one year aervlca, wheraaa tha other liata do.
Theaa Uata are "hopefully reaaonably" accnrata but ware developed by a aeri a of Manpower girla and othera under aome preaaure to complete the job inalde a deadline. We have found aome dupllcatlona and aome errore in length of expoaure, We have corrected thoae which we could. In time we will have data which we will vouch for but it will probably taka another week.
I am alao attaching a compilation of the reanlta of tha blood work aurvey, a copy of the completed deceaaed Hat, and a copy of the breakdown of yeara of expoaure.
I have Merle Eiaenhour'a eatlmatea on degree of expoaure baaed on preaeat day monitoring and weighted to include hla knowledge of paat eonditlona back to 1940, Don Deeae* eatlmatea are alao included and repreaent deductiona from preaent day monitoring.
The medical information ia, of courae, confidential and ahould be need with diacretion. I have ueed "Ethanol" to indicate an admitted heavy drinker who la not a confirmed alcoholic.
Sincerely,
