| Abstract |
Air (116) and bulk (192) samples were collected from 48 units at 25 different schools of an urban independent school district. These were analyzed respectively by transmission electron microscopy and polarized light microscopy techniques for asbestos fiber concentrations. The new factor of releasability (of fibers) rating resulted from the bulk fiber analysis. Each sampling site was rated by a special five-person team for assessment tools: algorithm, condition, accessibility, part of air moving system, material exposure, friability and water damage, and people's activity at the site. The results were statistically analyzed to document potential exposure to airborne asbestos resulting from the friable, asbestos-containing material in schools and to develop an exposure assessment tool that would be based on the above stated factors. |
