- Population
- PC-494 records in reviewed public sources
- Limitations
- A bounded source review is not proof that no records exist. NARA's finding aid identifies potentially relevant logbooks, but their contents were not examined and logbooks would not necessarily document asbestos. No absence-of-asbestos conclusion is made.
