Abstract
Environmental evaluation and medical interviews at a stainless steel ingot producing plant reveal that under the conditions of use observed, vermiculite (1318009) and basolite dusts do not represent a health hazard. The use of respirators is recommended for the moving of large amounts of the compounds and during chamber cleaning operations.
