Committee members Bob Scholz and Kay Rowntree, the principal authors of this manual, are both Certified Industrial Hygienists and continue to share their expertise and experience with foundries through their active participation on the AFS 10-Q Health and Safety Committee, providing information and support to member foundries. The authors were supported by Lisa Nordman of RMT, Inc. in the preparation of the manuscript.
