Abstract |
Studies on methods of spraying fibrous materials for fire protection of buildings are described, with results of environmental measurements. Attempts to use asbestos-free materials were made during the study. Tables show concentrations of respirable dust and concentrations of dangerous fibres (i.e. length >5µm, diameter <3µm) for asbestos and artificial fibres. Results are compared with exposure limits for asbestos, and the potential carcinogenicity of glass fibres is considered. As a precautionary measure, the exposure limits adopted for chrysotile and amosite are recommended for artificial fibres. |
