Discussion
The chreshold limic value for asbescos dusc was escablished ac 5.0 fibers per milliliter greater chan 5 microns in length. As indicated on the data sheet, airborne dust concentrations in the breathing zone of che driver of che Tennanc Sweeper ranged from 1.5 co 2.7 fibers per millilicer of air. Samples collected along both sides and behind che sweeper indicated chat airborne asbescos concencracions of 0.7 to 1.6 fibers per milliliter of air were created while it was operating.
The data obcained during this survey indicated chat che util ization of the Tennai-t Sweeper did not create concentrations of asbescos dust in excess of che limit established by Federal statute.
