Abstract	A survey was conducted to determine environmental asbestos (1332214) exposures at Chemical Sealing Corporation (SIC-2891), Kansas City, Missouri, in March 1972. The survey was requested by a manager on behalf of 40 workers. Thirty five breathing zone samples of atmospheric dust were collected on Millipore filters. The authors recommend confinement of asbestos mixing using a slurry instead of dry asbestos. Floors and equipment should be vacuumed and vacuums should be available for removing dust from clothing. Coveralls should be provided and maintained by management. A separate entrance should be provided for wash rooms and locker rooms, and the lunch room should be located away from the dust producing areas.
