INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE RECEIVED MEMORANDUM June 14, 1990------ TO: Noel Chaplin - G-4-11 CC: Byron Peterson, Mac Cole, Pat Laden FROM: E. Claiborne Irby, M.D. - E-L-9 SUBJECT: Sherwin Plant As a result of the Union-sponsored free chest x-rays at Sherwin, interest was raised concerning the x-ray on The chest x-ray taken in our facility this sprin^^^^ some questionable findings and it was recommended that he have a CAT scan of his chest. The CAT scan showed definite calcified pleural plaques which are diagnostic of asbestosis in people who have been exposed to asbestos fibers. 56 years old, came to work in 1970, and works as trades mechanic. Because of his irxposure to asbestos, he has received "asbestos physicals." The chest x-rays have not been diagnostic and the pulmonary function studies, although abnormal because of emphysema, have not shown the restrictive findings of mamTM,asbestos^^mg^^ease. I have recommended to Dr. Frandolig that he call show him his x-rays, give him copies of x-ray reports, explain the situation that this is the result of previous exposure which might have been quite remote. He is not exposed to asbestos right now, although the chest x-ray may look worse as time goes on. More importantly, his pulmonary function study and his difficulty in breathing is the result of smoking and emphysema, and is not the finding of asbestos. The employee admits that many years ago, they used to throw asbestos dust at each other to be playful. He will be advised that surgery will not be particularly helpful to anyone but the surgeon and that he will get annual asbestos physical examinations as before. ECI/gjb B.001^05 * ______.w. w.
