Abstract	An evaluation of asbestos exposure was conducted at the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Miami Fort Station on March 21, 1973. Four personal examples were taken on workers who were removing insulation from a boiler. The analysis of the four samples taken was conducted with phase contrast microscopy at the NIOSH Cincinnati Laboratory. Results are presented in the report. The method used did not allow a distinction between fibers of fibrous glass and asbestos. Thus, the asbestos concentrations reported are a result of both asbestos and fibrous glass.
