Abstract	A visit was made to Mr. Ronald Williams' office on October 5 and 6, 1976. Atmospheric sampling for asbestos was conducted in Mr. Williams' office, the secretary's office, and an adjoining office next to the secretary. A total of eight general samples were taken. In addition, a bulk sample from the ventilation ducts were obtained for analysis. These samples were sent to the Salt Lake Laboratory for analysis. All area samples were recorded as less than 0.01 asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter of air greater than five microns in length (microns/cc). The bulk samples showed no concentration of asbestos. The existing standard for asbestos exposure is 2.0 fibers per cubic centimeter of air and greater than 5 microns in length. However, the NIOSH recommendation is 0.5 fibers/cc. In either case the occupants of the facility are in no danger of contacting cancer due to asbestos exposure.
