Abstrakt: Thirteen air transmission systems lined with fibrous glass were studied to determine their contributions of glass fibers to the air. There was a decrease in the concentrations of glass fibers after the air had passed through the systems, both in number of glass fibers and in the relative proportion of total fibers which were identiable as glass. Glass fiber concentrations in the air of buildings correlated more closely with fiber concentratons in ambient air than with concentrations in air supplied from the system lined with fibrous glass. Concentrations were extremely low and do not appear to be biologically significant.
