Asbestos

Concerning Bert Altman's query about asbestos abatement
of materials, I strongly recommend contacting Kathryn Makos,
industrial hygienist with the Office of Environmental
Management at the Smithsonian at  202-287-3615 or via
email at  makoska [at] ic__si__edu>  Kathy will be giving at talk
June's AIC meeting along with Elizabeth Dietrich entitled
"Surface Decontamination Procedures and Clearance
Validation Methods for Asbestos-Contaminated Museum
Artifacts" during the object specialty meeting on Saturday
6 June.
