Page Count	60
Abstract	In support of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Contract No. 210-76-0119, Walter C. McCrone Associates, Inc. acted as a contractor to perform a physical and chemical characterization of smelter dusts. Specifically the objective of this work was to obtain for each of five smelter samples as complete a physical and chemical characterization as possible for at least 1000 individual particles from each dust. In performing this study an automated electron microprobe was used to analyze the representative particles from the five samples. The analytical techniques used in performing the statement of work along with the data generated from each of the particles analyzed were detailed in bi-monthly progress reports throughout the period of performance of the contract. Due to the nature of the statement of work and due to the detail of information provided in the bi-monthly status reports, details of our analytical progress during the performance of the contract has been kept to a minimum and in this report we have detailed the techniques used for sample preparation, for sample analysis, instrument conditions and an evaluation of the data itself.
