2021-11-8 Asbestos disassembly, as external disturbance, can generate asbestos concentration levels even above 1,000,000 f/m 3 in the surrounding work area, which exceeds the operational pollution of damaged products by over 5000 × . As a result, the removal process may pose a long-term risk impact on the environment, building, and its users.
Read MoreConcentrations of respirable asbestos fibers in buildings containing asbestos installations, during their normal operation ranged from 0 to 0.0043 fiber/cm3. Measurements taken at the workposts during removal of asbestos-cement materials showed the average asbestos fiber concentrations of 0.0652 fiber/cm3 and 0.0141 fiber/cm3 for work carried ...
Read MoreAsbestos fibres (mainly chrysotile) were measured in air and in settled dust samples obtained in New York City following destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 (Landrigan et al., 2004). In indoor air (e.g. in homes, schools, and other buildings), measured concentrations of asbestos are in the range of 30–6000 f/m 3.

From then on, asbestos concentration decreased rather steeply until the sampling point W10, where the concentration was 4.5 × 10 6 f/l. These results come in good agreement with those obtained by Buzio et al. . The asbestos concentrations in the river Po in Italy were ...
