Air Monitoring

Asbestos Identification in Air Samples

Air sampling involves a known quantity of air being drawn through a membrane filter, catching any airborne fibres on the filter in the process. This test is typically used for monitoring health and safety on building and demolition sites where asbestos containing materials are known to be present, and samples can be processed urgently (within 2-4 hours of arrival at the laboratory*) with prior arrangement for clearance or background requirements.
