Many programs of engineering control systems were completed and new ones were initial in the plastics, resins, and cutting fluids industries. Exhaust air follow up studies were conducted. New performance criteria were developed for respirators. A test system of pesticide cartridge evaluation was implemented. Respiratory provisions were reviewed. Asbestos exposure hazard research was continued. Routine analytical support was provided and 27,629 analyses were performed. Approximately 20,000 instruments were calibrated. The report describes the activities of the Chemical Reference Laboratory, the Division of Criteria Documentation and Standards Development and various spheres of international cooperation and liaison activities.
