• Class II – Removal of all materials except TSI &

surfacing

• Class III – any repairs up to 1 glovebag or disposal bag

• Class IV – cleanup where ACM is contacted but not

disturbed

• Unclassified operations

• PACM - Presumed Asbestos-Containing Material.

Phase Contrast Microscopy

Light microscope, 400 x magnification

Only counts „fibers‟, no identification

NIOSH 7400 Method

25 mm cassette,

0.8 µ pore size filter

Least expensive ($6-$15)

P.7 TSI


Transmission Electron Microscopy

Electron microscope, high magnification

Counts and identifies asbestos structures

AHERA Method and others

25 mm cassette,

0.45 µ pore size filter

Most expensive ($75-$200)

Advantages Disadvantages

“ Fibers” are asbestos

Results can more easily be

used to compare against

f/cc regulatory and risk

levels

Used in government

agencies’ studies

PCM counting rules do not

allow for all asbestos fibers to

be included in results

All types of asbestos fibers

are given same consideration

Counting rules cannot make-

up for all discrepancies

between PCM & TEM

OSHA recommends 25% workforce monitored

Analyzed by PCM

Sampled with low volume pumps, 0.5-2.5 l/min

Excursion & 8-hour TWA samples

P.8

TSI


Required Information

(29 CFR 1926.1101 (n)(2))

Environmental

– Taken during abatement activity

– Includes perimeter & inside the work area samples

– Analyzed usually by PCM

– High volume pumps used for perimeter samples, 3000-4000 liters

– Low volume pumps used for IWA samples

– Required in New York State and in Illinois (schools)

– Usually owner‟s responsibility

P.9 TSI


Final Clearance

Taken after final visual inspection

passes
