Título An investigation of airborne asbestos concentration in two UK buildings before, during and after the removal of asbestos
Información bibliográfica 1988, Vol.32, p.169-180. 10 ref.
Resumen Some 185 air samples were taken in two buildings before, during and after the removal of sprayed amosite asbestos insulation from the ceiling void. The samples were analysed by optical phase contrast microscopy and transmission electron microscopy for fibres >5µm long. Tables show measured fibre concentrations during various activities. Results show that repeated impact or disturbance is required before concentrations in the vicinity of maintenance activities would approach the UK occupational limit. Samples taken some weeks after the completion of the removal showed that amosite concentrations remained higher than before the removal was attempted.
