Especially during the demolition of old buildings, asbestos fibers or synthetic mineral fibers (SMF) are often present. Although these materials are characterized by their excellent insulation and fire protection properties, respirable fibers in particular (so-called WHO fibers) are highly carcinogenic. Using SEM/EDX, such fibers can be characterized and the associated carcinogenicity index determined.
Typical fields of application: | Structural and civil engineering, geotechnical experts, building and environmental authorities, laboratories |
Type of contamination: | Asbestos and SMF fibers |
Testing method: | SEM/EDX |
Sample: | Building material or air samples |
