I. INTRODUCTION
A survey to d termite the adequacy of the existing ventilatio
system and associated dust collection equipment to contr 1 air
borne dust was performed in the production area of the Pittsburgh
Coming Tyler, Texas plant on Hay 7, 1969 by Dr. Horton Com. Dr
Corn was accompanied and assisted by Hr. John L. Hyde, of the En
gineering Section, Pittsburgh-Coming Research Center, 800 Presqu
Isle Drive, -Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15239. The surv y was per
formed at the request of Hr. Byrl H. Stout, Vice President of Han:
facturing, Pittsburgh-Coming Corporation. The request was made
on April 28, 1969 at the Pittsburgh-Corning Research Center durin<
a meeting called to discuss the enclosed citation of the Tyler
plant by the Department of Labor (see Appendix A). The survey
was concentrated exclusively on assessment of hygienic risk to
airborne amosite asbestos dust and evaluation of plant facilities
to reduce this risk.

7' ; SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS !'" `
An industrial hygiene and ventilation survey of this plant
performed on May 7, 1969 suggests that asbestos fiber concentra--
tions are high in worker breathing zones (Builder
p der Op*
erators) and at breathing level in certain other plant locations.
There are no hygienic guidelines for concentration of Amosite
fibers in air and the judgment of excessive dustiness in this
plant is referred to guidelines for Chrysotile dust. Utilization
of hygienic guidelines for Chrysotile asbestos concentration in
air for Amosite asbestos fibers in air is an accepted procedur
in the U. S. at this time. The finding of excessive dustiness
at "spot" sampling locations in the plant is consistent with sur-
vey measurements which revealed inadequate quantities of air at
local exhaust hoods. Insufficient air at local sites of dust
emission was reflected in low air velocities at hood faces and
low air conveying velocities in branch lines and ducts. The ven
tilation system was estimated for Builder and Feeder areas to move
approximately one sixth of the air required to ventilate these
processes.
In addition to the inadequacies of the ventilation system, aiyl
the resultant excessive dustiness, it was found that general house-1
keeping is poor in the plant. Also, during the entire day of the
survey not one employee in the production area was observed to -
wear a respirator.
In the opinion of the author, this short survey strongly *i
r suggests that employees at this plant are being exposed, n a

daily basis, to excessive concentrations of Amosite asbestos dust Zt is recommended that efforts be immediately focussed' on design
i ,,
of a complete ventilation and dust collection system at this plant. The system is rudimentary in concept and is underdesigned Efforts to "doctor up" this system would probably lead to a less than satisfactory system and would involve expenditures in
*
m
and equipment equivalent to those associated with design of a new system.

III. THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE OF ASBESTOS DUST
"The threshold limit values refer to airborne cone ntrations
of substances and represent conditions under which it is beli ved
/* that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed, day after day,
without adverse effect. Because of wide variation in individual
susceptibility .exposures of an occasional individual at or ven
below the threshold limit may not prevent discomfort, aggravation
of a pre-existing condition, or occupational illness.
"Threshold limits should be used as guides in the control of
health hazards and should not be regarded as fine lines betw en
safe and dangerous conditions."*
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
had, in 1967, a T.L.V. for asbestos of 5 million particles per
cubic foot, as determined by impinger sampling and counting by
light-field techniques. In a considered revision (1968), the Con
ference endorsed the retention of this T.L.V. for "most forms of
asbestos". However, for crocidolite, because of the production
of mesotheliomas, it was recommended that workers be equipp d with
air^Upplied helmets because "no safe limit can be establish d for
this form of asbestos at this time." i
,
The British Occupational Hygiene society recently issued hy
gienic standards for chrysotile asbestos dust.** The standards
are based on the? 'objective that the risk of contracting asbestos -

be reduced to 1 per cent of those who have a lifetime's exposure to the dust. By "asbestosis" the committee meant the earliest
demonstrable effects on the lung due to asbestos. These standard: .
are cited here because they are more stringent than the U. S.
guideline referred to above. The exposure guidelines are:

The concentrations refer to fibers greater than 5 microns in lengt

The problem faced today with respect to Amosite asb stos is
that there simply is insufficient data for dosage-response pre
diction of exposed populations.** The guidelines for Chrysotile
will undoubtedly .continue to be the threshold limit value guid -
line for exposure to other forms of asbestos dust for years to
come.

IV. DESCRIPTION OP SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL' METHODS ' -^
A. Assessment of Airborne Dust
Samples were obtained at either worker breathing zones ^ *
they performed their routine tasks, or at breathing lev 1 to r -
present "background air". Samples were obtained during a five ox ten minute period at a flow rate of 21 1pm by utilizing a vacuum
pump in conjunction, with a filter holder and sample filter. The
system was precalibrated in terms of pump inlet pressure and air
flow with all sampling line components, including filter, in place
A membrane filter (Type EA Millipore) was used to obtain
samples for microscopic evaluation of fiber' and dust particle
concentrations. This paper is composed of pores 0.45 micro'ns
in size and has been shown to retain, with 100% efficiency, par ticles down to 0.05 micron diameter.^
The filter was first visually examined to detect any loose
dust or uneven dust deposition. In the few cases where the fil
ter deposit did not pass this examination, it was necessary to re
suspend the collected dust in distilled water'and refilter this
suspension on VF grade Millipore filter to assure an even dust
distribution over the entire filter area. A pie shaped segment,
of the filter was then placed on a microscope'slide and r ndered
completely transparent with Cargille certified index of refractic
*
liquids. Cargflie liquid of index of refraction 1.500 was usuall
*
most suitable. The counting of the dust particles and the count*
ing and sizing of asbestos fibers was performed with th aid of a

Zeiss Photomicroscope using Phase Contrast Illumination. Th ob
jective lens was a Zeiss Neofluor Ph 63x with a numerical aperture
of 0.90. The eyepiece had a magnification of 20x and contained a
calibrated Porton graticule. The optovar feature of th Zeiss
scope contributed to the total magnification of 2016x. Resolutioi
was approximately 0.35 microns. Particles and fibers of size 0.3C
microns could be detected.
In the evaluation
procedure, all particles and fibers in
the Porton field of view were counted and the fibers were grouped
by fiber length into three categories (less than five microns,
five to ten microns, and larger than ten microns). This pr cedure
was repeated foy a number of randomly selected fields on the face i
of the filter. Because only a portion of the total filt r area
was evaluated by this method, it was necessary to correct th
count by the ratio of the total filter area to the evaluated area.
The resultant particle or fiber number was divided by the volume
of the air sample to obtain dust or fiber concentration express d
as millions of particles per cubic foot (MPPCF).
The statistical reliability of the evaluation was expressed as the standard deviation, calculated as N^2, where N is th I particle or fiber count.

surement of Asbestos Exposure" which appeared in the Journal of -

B. Measurement of Air Velocities at Hoods
A calibrated velometer was used to measure face velocit
ies of hoods and room air velocities.*
, C. Air Velocities in Ventilation Ducts
A standard 1/4" dhmeter pitot tube was used in conjunct
ion with a Dwyer 1:10 inclined manometer to determine velocity
pressures in ducts. Ten point traverses were taken in larger
ducts (>6" diameter); centerline readings only were obtained in
smaller ducts. All measurements are considered to be approximate
(estimated reliability + 10%) because of the conditions imposed by
the system. For example, there were few locations where measure
ments' could be made 10 diameters from entries or elbows. Also,
the standard pitot tube should not be used.in lines smaller than
8* diameter. However, the reliability of measurements achiev d
is perfectly adequate for a preliminary survey of the typ under

A. Airborne Dust Concentrations
Measured concentrations of dust particles and asbest s
fibers are summarized in Table 2. In order to facilitate com
parison with the guidelines from Table 1, the last two columns
(5 and 6) of Table 2 for fiber concentrations have been added
to yield Column 7, which should be compared with Column 3 of
Table 1. On this basis/ operators at the feeders are receiving
High exposures. Builder operators are also receiving High expos
ures. Although much dust Is present at the cutting operation the * `
single sample obtained suggests that particles and not fibers are
the major contributors to the dispersion. Table 2 suggests that
outdoor air is Negligible in terms of fiber content/ as is the
dust collector effluent.' However, the aisle of the wax house op
posite the.Feeders is High, suggesting the large zone of influence
of the dust sources in the Feeder areas. It cannot be too strong!
stressed that these are *spot" samples and must be viewed as sug
gestive results only. However, they do convey a picture of high
dust exposures in Feeder and Builder areas, as well as In adjacent
zones. The author must state, based on previous experi nc , that
dust concentrations in plant air would almost certainly increase
during winter months.

ties are not uncommon for control of materials emitted with' great
force. At the Port Allegheny Plant, Mr. John Hyde, of Pittsburgh-
Coming, and the author are designing for 200 fpm face velocity at i >
hoods which interface with plant air: internal process hoo&s are
designed for 100 fpm.
Table- 3 is a summary of measured air velocities at select d
hoods in the Tyler Plant. With the exceptions of the Build r
hoods and the Scrap Grinder hood, face velocities at* hoods are
inadequate. Smoke tube tests performed at each hood offered visu
al confirmation of this conclusion based on'velocity measurements.
Although the hood on the Intermediate Saw was satisfactory, it
would not be" so' if two or more saws were used'simultaneously. .

The values listed in Table 4 are probably overestimates because ce:

2. Conveying velocities within ducts axe generally very 1 w"
for handling asbestos dust. A minimum design velocity of 4000
fpm is being used for the new ventilation system.* Duct 7 (Scrap
Grinder Hood) and the 10" diameter duct into the Block Dust Col
lector were the only ducts with adequate air velocities for con
veying asbestos dust.
3. Total air volume for the Builder and Feeder areas is very
low (2769 + 1724 + 877 cfm). Estimates for Port Allegheny place
the air requirements for adequate control for three lin s at ap
proximately 6.5x timesthis amount of air.
In summary, as judged by three different parameters, i.e.
dust concentrations, face velocities at hoods, and duct air vol
umes, the ventilation system, and hence dust control at this
plant, are unsatisfactory.

can only be concluded that Amosite fiber at this plant is not
being handled with the care and respect that any subst&hce with
this toxic potential deserves.

Dear Mr. Blair:
I am writing to clarify.the letter from Byrl M. Stout, Vice President of Manufacturing, Pittsburgh Corning Corporati to you dated April 11, 1969.
I have been working with Pittsburgh Corning Central Engineering engineers on dust control in their Port Allegheny Pennsylvania Works. The manufacturing operation in this plar is similar to that in the Tyler, Texas Plant. We ar install an entire ventilation system and dust collectors at Port Allegheny.
However, it should be noted that I have never visited o: surveyed the Tyler, Texas Plant of this Corporation. I fir: saw the letter from Mr. Stout to you on April 28, 1969. At i time, Mr. Stout suggested that X visit the Tyler Plant and I have scheduled to do so. on May 7, 1969. Xou may rest assurec that all the engineering fekills which have been brought to bt on the Port Allegheny Plant dust control system will be fo; on the Tyler Plant.
Sincerely yours.
