Cola Chemistry Department Scientific Research Staff Subjects Exposure of Oarage Mechanics to &rako Dust As you knew, ve have studied tl* exposure of Company employes to brake dust during brake religning operations in our service garages and at our test tracks. Par the most part, wlxnever air hoses ware used to clean dust out of the brake drunm, we found exposures in excess of limits established in the 06HA standard on asbestos dust. resulted in our xe caiiuandatlon that vacuum cleaning be used to rem ove this dust. Ve discussed tlse findings with Professor Selikoff's co-workers during a visit t i m y -- to the Company Bagineering and Research Center sane time last yaar. I don't know what, if anything, new he baa come up with since that n o t i n g but it probably would be of interest to have aaneone from the Company attend to find out. Budgstary restraints prevent ua from attending. Paul 8. Toth, Supervisor Iolustrial Hygiene Section / / 8006 1995 D D r \ r \ r T r r : T \ td \ / r n n r-\
