Description:
Factors that affect the releasability or aerosolization of asbestos and related mineral fibers from a variety of sources need to be better understood to allow prediction and modeling of the relative behavior of these fibers. Examples of the sources of concern include soils, roads and other structures made from crushed rock, vermiculite attic insulation (VAI), and carpets and other fabrics. Factors that affect the releasability or aerosolization of asbestos and related mineral fibers from a variety of sources need to be better understood to allow prediction and modeling of the relative behavior of these fibers.
