Dr. Cralley said "Do", not enough data was yet available, but said they did hope that in time they would have enough. Said that if, for example, the standard was set as low as 2.5 H??CF, a lot of "outside air" would have to be . cleaned up, as frequently outside air is 3.0 H??C? or greater in dust content. Also, he pointed out that in the area of even 5*0 H??CF it is difficult to measure accurately and say definitely that data is correct.
