Abstract |
The effects on human health resulting from asbestos exposure in various environments are a subject of national concern and debate. In recognition of the need for a 'state-of-the-art' laboratory for particulates analysis, with emphasis on asbestos, the Environmental Protection Agency commissioned the design of a suitable facility and the development of recommendations for equipment and personnel. In this report the need for such a facility is reviewed; the considerable investment in equipment and large annual operating expenses are justified, and a conceptual framework for a particulates analysis laboratory is formulated. The basis for selection of optimum equipment, the results of a detailed survey of equipment manufacturers, the design layout of the proposed laboratory, the availability of skilled personnel, and a review of analysis methodology are summarized. |
