Set of industry brochures on construction materials, flooring, roofing, insulation, weather coating and paints, protective clothing, etc., with occasional correspondence. The majority of the material was assembled 1980-1984, both as a resource for creating SPAID's information displays and as a resource for answering inquiries about specific asbestos-containing products and asbestos-free substitutes.
