Series Description: This record series contains correspondence and a final report regarding an investigation of employee injuries and exposures at Building 9212. The correspondence covers a wide range of monitoring programs at Y-12 mainly for exposure to uranium. Two documents pertain specifically to mercury: 1) the declassification of mercury materials for the overall study, and 2) a memorandum calling for a task force study on mercury material accountability. No measurements of mercury are provided. The series also contains nonrecord material from the Environmental Protection Agency.
