The methods include those for determining asbestos concentration in air, water, bulk building materials, surface dust, soil, and lung tissue (Millette, 2006; Dodson, 2006). Knowledge of the various methodologies is essential in determining which methodology is appropriate for any given situation. To better understand the use of various ...

We investigated the potential of tailings generated from chrysotile asbestos fiber production as a source of iron, nonferrous metals, and gold. We proposed the use of granulometric separation and systematically examined different enrichment processes, namely magnetic separation, gravity concentration, and enrichment using a Knelson concentrator, to extract the valuable …

OSHA has established an enforceable limit on the average 8-hour daily concentration of asbestos allowed in air in the workplace to be 100,000 fibers with lengths greater than or equal to 5 µm per m 3 of air (0.1 fibers/mL). Additional sources of information about asbestos are the 10 regional offices of the EPA.

Why ECS for asbestos services. ECS offers comprehensive asbestos services, including surveys, abatement design, abatement monitoring and documentation, air sampling and final clearance services, to assist in the identification and management of the potential risks associated with property transactions, renovations, remediation and demolition projects.

Such concentration levels in water could determine locally hot spots of high airborne asbestos concentrations, e.g., if the evaporation rate or the turbulence are high. A recent study found the concentration of fibers in air could exceed 1 f/l if water containing around 40 × 10 6 ff/l is perturbed under controlled conditions ( Avataneo et al ...

"Of the 365 cities, 165 or 45.3% were reported to have significant concentrations of asbestos in the drinking water". In 1980, the EPA conducted a detailed study entitled Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Asbestos. In part it …

revealed that asbestos exposure concentrations in breathing zone air are usually not constant, but depend on the activity of the person being evaluated. This variability results from the fact that asbestos is a non-volatile solid and the concentration in air generally depends on some sort of disturbance to release the asbestos fibers from a source

A technical comparison of evaluating asbestos concentration by phase-contrast microscopy (PCM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and analytical transmission electron microscopy …

----- ABSTRACT Fe 0. particles (magnetic) are often attached to asbestos fibers (non-magnetic) in the primary asbestos industries,- therefore, a measurement of Fe O could help determine the amount of asbestos in the lungs of workers in these industries. ... defined as (concentration of airborne dust) x (period of exposure), summed over his ...

Results indicate that fibres in the range 5 μm to 20 μm have ferro - magnetic properties and the magnetic moment of individualfibres has been predicted. An analytical technique based on this work has recently been patented and should distinguish between fibre types as well as accurately predicting the airborne concentration of asbestos fibres.

Asbestos is a human carcinogen that causes diseases, such as lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. In Korea, approximately 1.23 × 109 kg of asbestos raw materials was imported for about 30 years. More than 80% of this were used as building material, such as interior materials and ceiling materials. Among the manufactured asbestos-containing …

The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of single asbestos fibers is measured. The alignment of both chrysotile and crocidolite fibers in magnetic fields is found to be due to the anisotropy. The average measured anisotropy of volume susceptibility is 0.40×10−6 for chrysotile and 83×10−6 for crocidolite. Fiber shape effects are estimated to contribute, on average, about 10% and 6% ...

Typical concentrations are 1x10-5

Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy is a well-known technique for thin film characterization. Since all asbestos species exhibit intense adsorptions peaks in the 4000–400 cm −1 region of the infrared spectrum, a quantitative analysis of asbestos in bulk samples by DRIFT is possible. In this work, different quantitative analytical procedures have …
