PARXINSON ,,/ * ' --> - February 13, 1970 ^ RE: ILZR0 Project LH-157 Health Study of Lead Workers To Official Representatives of Members of the Lead Industries Association Attention: Mr. _____ C. J. PARKINSON Enclosed you will find a copy of a questionnaire prepared by Tabershav-Cooper Associates, HZRO's contractor for the above project. The purpose of the questionnaire is to provide them with basic information necessary to ascertain the feasibility of ILZRO1s proposed study of the health of inorganic lead vorkers. Will you kindly complete one copy of the questionnaire for each plant and return it to J. F. Cole at the address shown, as his office will serve as a clearinghouse for all such information. If more than one copy of the questionnaire is needed, you may wish to make extra copies at your own facility. For your general information, copies of the enclosed ques tionnaire are being sent to all member companies of LIA, ILZRO and the American Association of Battery Manufacturers. We expect that the results of this study will be of great value to us by demonstrating that lead industry workers having significantly higher lead exposures than the general public are in good health and show no unusual effects.
