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.
