DETERMINATION OF THE CONCENTRATION OF ASBESTOS STRUCTURES IN THE AIR – A NEW METHOD
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2012, Vol 450, Issue 450
Abstract
Asbestos is a toxic mineral known to produce debilitating health effects in humans. Because of its toxicity, it is necessary to have effective methods to detect asbestos in the environment. Over the years, a number of methods have been developed, but each method has its own strengths and weaknesses. The paper presents the composite method for the control of concentrations of asbestos structures in the air. The method involves the following procedures: location of sample collection points, collection of air samples, preparation of samples for analysis, identification of structures based on morphological, chemical and structural features, counting of asbestos structures in the sample and determination of concentrations of asbestos structures in the air.
