Air Monitoring for Asbestos

The Schedule of Accreditation for testing to the current ISO/IEC 17025 issued by UKAS for Perry Analytical Ltd is shown on the UKAS website and includes fibre counting, sampling of air for fibre counting and the 4 stage clearance process.

There are several reasons why air monitoring for asbestos is carried out as shown below:

•

Clearance air monitoring for asbestos after asbestos removal as part of the 4 stage clearance process.

•

Air monitoring for asbestos outside an asbestos removal enclosure during asbestos removal to assess the integrity of the enclosure.

•

Reassurance air monitoring for asbestos after removal of asbestos plastic, bitumen etc.

•

Personal air monitoring during asbestos removal to assess personal exposure to asbestos as required by Regulation 6 of the current "Control of Asbestos" regulations.
