Guesstimates of possible costs of TML medical program to the lead industries based on Dr. Kehoe's memo of April 1. Assuming:
I. Lead industries paying only costs of program outside the refinery and organic lead-in-air determinations will be handled by lead industries field personnel.
a. Initial physical exams of personnel from filling station and garage locations by local doctors. Five doctors for four days at $10Q/day:$2,0Q0.
b. Kettering charges forlead in blood and lead in urine samples at $12.50 per sample. Assuming that 5() individuals of each category must be initially included to give the
required 30 to K) at the p month check:
Initial: 2 x 50 x 2 x$12.50 - $2,500.
9 months:2 x 35 x 2 x$12.50 $1,750 $!* ,50.
c. Kettering charges for analysis of particulate lead-in-air
at filling station and garage locations: $2,500.
d. Kettering Laboratory charges for consultation, supervision, travel, collection and analyses of results, and preparation of report: $9,000.
e. Guesstimated total charges from Kettering to the lead Industries: $17,750.
II. Lead industries also paying cost of lead in blood end lead in urine analyses of refinery personnel:
a. pi individuals would be involved with clinical checks every
3 months: 2 x k x pi x $12-50 = $9,100.00.
b. Under this assumption the total cost to the lead industries
would be $26,850.
In the above no consideration has been given to Kettering expenses that might be incurred in connection with manufacturing. Likewise no estimate", of equipment, supplies, or travel expenses of field personnel engaged in the enviromental studies has been made.
