  1. Do You Know The Method Of Asbestos Testing?

  2. Since people are aware of the hazards of this mineral, asbestos testing is a critical procedure (asbestos is a group of fibrous metamorphic minerals of the hydrous magnesium silicate variety). Because of their small size, most asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye. Because you can't tell if a material has asbestos just by looking at it unless it's labelled, asbestos lab testing is required. Though you're not sure, treat the material as if it contains asbestos or have it sampled and examined by a specialist. A professional should gather samples for examination because a professional knows what to look for and because the release of fibres may pose a health concern. Testing for asbestos should always be done by a professional.

  3. The EPA requires polarised light microscopy (PLM asbestos test method) analysis with specialised microscopes for asbestos testing. Asbestos testing results determine the amount and type of asbestos present in the sample material. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or USEPA) is a federal government agency in the United States tasked with defending human health and the natural environment, including air, water, and land. On December 2, 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established. Stephen L. Johnson is the current Administrator (as of 2006).

  4. Asbestos Fiber Analysis (PLM Test Method) The Bulk Asbestos Program's goal is to accredit testing facilities so that they may prove they're capable of analysing bulk samples for asbestos testing using polarised light microscopy (PLM). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (previously the National Bureau of Standards) is working on a scheme to accredit laboratories that analyse bulk samples of asbestos-containing material.

  5. Our experienced team customizes the scope of every survey to ensure you get a site-specific and purposeful management tool.
