  • Title: [Fiber emissions from weathered asbestos cement products. 1. Fiber release in ambient air].
    Author: Spurny K, Marfels H, Boose C, Weiss G, Opiela H, Wulbeck FJ.
    Journal: Zentralbl Hyg Umweltmed; 1989 May; 188(1-2):127-43. PubMed ID: 2757737.
    Abstract:
    Emissions of fibrous aerosols were measured on buildings with weathered and corroded asbestos-cement-plates (roofing and facade shingles) by means of an already published equipment and procedure. The measured emission factors for asbestos fibers longer than 5 microns were in the range of 10(6) to 10(8) fibers/m2.h. They depended on the type of the AC-plates as well as on their age and corrosion intensity.
