Ilinutes of the Asbestos Study Committee Meeting -67 June 1, 1973 atnosphere. This airborne asbestos emission is 3.2Z of.the-total asbestos esitted from all automotive brake lininps end clutch facings In the U.S. A question arose as to what happens to the asbestos debris that drops out. Does it eventually get Into the atnosphere? It was Indicated that based on the study of ocher saterlals that apparently there have been build-ups such as lead along the sides of turnpikes. This material apparently goes Into the earth's surface and whether It is picked up again Is dependent on ocher factors such as the proximity to streams, etc. A gentleman, from Ford Motor Company was also to present a paper to the SAE meeting concerning asbestos particulate emissions Into the atmosphere. Ho paper was available at this time. There were some questions concerning procedures and a source of data on the Ford paper, but In any event the paper Indicated a lower total asbestos emission than the Bendix paper. These two papers should serve as source information when' others are attempting to quantify the asbestos emitted latr the atmosphere from brake linings and clutch facings. OTHER ITEfS Tht topic if OSHA Inspection? md enforr^rart was brought up briefly and the members indicated that no new actions had been taken by OSUA as regards enforce ment concerning the asbestos standards.
