On July 22, 1977 a sampler was used on Chuck Hinderer while he was
mowing grass with a reel type mower around the Trionizad Plant. The
u
sampler was run for 169 minutes and resulted in fibers concentration
of .028 fibers/cc of air. This, of course, compares to the present
u
OSHA Standard of 2.0 fibers/cc. It should also be pointed out that
some laboratories consider the accuracy of this low concentration to
be plus or minus 100 percent.
One additional sample was obtained, however, was not sent to the
II
laboratory for analysis because the sampler stopped during the sampling
period thus making the information invalid.
