Abstract	Air sampling for asbestos dust was conducted by the United States Public Health Service at the Raybestos Manhattan Asbestos Textile Company in Charleston, South Carolina, during January 1971. Airborne concentrations of fibers greater than 5 microns in length per cubic centimeter (f/cc) ranged from 0.1 to 40.9 f/cc. Average exposure in the mule spinning, ring spinning, spin doffing, dry twisting, winding, spool winding, winder fixing, and tape weaving areas exceeded the emergency temporary standard for asbestos dust of 5 fibers per milliliter greater than 5 microns in length for an 8-hour time weighted exposure. Forty-five samples exceeded the 15-minute concentration limit of 10 fibers per milliliter.
