Abstract
A statistical study of asbestos fiber size characteristics was conducted using data obtained from a variety of San Francisco Bay Area water systems. Particular emphasis was placed on comparison of fiber length distributions for samples collected from pre and post asbestos cement (AC) pipe systems. Significant differences were detected between the fiber size distributions in samples of raw water and water collected after a length of AC pipe. Little difference was detected between the fiber size distributions of a raw water sample and a treated water sample. It was also shown that before and after AC pipe, fibers in the water differed most significantly in the length distributions of narrow fibers.
