| Abstract |
EPA has initiated a quality assurance (QA) program for laboratories claiming capability in the polarized light microscope (PLM) analysis of bulk samples for asbestos. Commercial and non-commercial laboratories participating in the program received samples of four fibrous materials: chrysotile, anthophyllite, fiberglass, and mineral wool. Laboratories had difficulty identifying anthophyllite and two false positives were reported for the mineral wool sample. All laboratories properly identified chrysotile. A performance rating based on proper identification of positive (asbestos) and negative (non-asbestos) samples was scored for and reported to the commercial laboratories. Reference reports were sent to all participating laboratories. Continuation of the program with future sample sets is anticipated. |
