Abstract
This document describes a proposed field study to collect data in schools that are to be used to analyze and validate two asbestos exposure assessment algorithms as compared to levels of airborne asbestos. This field study would involve algorithm scoring (including bulk asbestos sampling) and air sampling in sites (e.g., classrooms) within selected schools. The objective of the planning study described in this report is to establish the characteristics of various alternative statistical designs (e.g., number and characteristics of sample sites) for the proposed field study and to recommend the most appropriate design.
