The study pro posal would be concerned with' Installed fiber glass duet llaers and systems to again determine to vtiat degree, If say, they produced fiber glass la air of resplrsble size through fiber glass erosion. A progress report on the United States Public Health Service alaercl fiber Industry study. A progress report oa the Industrial Hygiene foundation mineral fiber study.

Clark Cooper, M.D., School of Pitlie Health, University of California la Berkeley. The pur pose of the study would be to quantitate the fiber glass exposures of a group of lasulatloa workers. Dr. Cooper and his group have previously quantitated the asbestos exposure of this saae group of Insulation workers and published this study. The Coaalttee agreed that the HIMA Board should be appraised of the research proposal and the Coaalttes's opinion that such research Is necessary because no Information la presently avail able that qusntitstes the fiber glass exposure to workers GAF 19629 7 other than la the manufacture of fiber glaas. The Committee aeabers representing the fiber glaas aanufacturers will meet with Dr. Cooper sod bis group to further consider the proposal. Such research' would be Jointly sponsored by these cas^anles.
