Wehave a tank cleaning crew that cleans our tanks periodically. These are underground tanks(Depth 100 ft. Diameter 125 ft.) and have contained leaded products at one time. Wehave been running tests on the tank cleaning crewto check their exposure to lead (see enclosed charts). However nobody here in Japan has any statisitical data with which to compare our figures. I would appreciate any information you have on this matter. All tank cleaners wear protective clothing and equipment while in the tanks. If by chance you do not have any specific information maybe you could put us on to sane organization or person that does. Sincerely, 2 Incl as CHARLES E. WARD Major, QMC Operations Officer N7932.01 V CHARLES BRNING COMPANY. INC. . 10X10(o the hilf inch. H U , fVVirn HMNttO IN U.
