ASBESTOS CONCENTRATIONS IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS —A PRELIMINARY REPORT

J. M. LE GUEN and G. BURDETT

Occupational Medicine and Hygiene Laboratory Health and Safety Executive, 403 Edgware Road, Cricklewood, London NW2 6LN

Airborne asbestos concentrations were measured by a variety of sampling and analytical techniques, in 4 schools, 2 other educational establishments, 5 houses, a theatre and a television studio, in all of which asbestos-containing construction materials had been used. At some sites these materials had been damaged to expose visible fibres, but in no case did airborne asbestos concentrations exceed 10–8 g/m3 roughly 0.02% of the occupational hygiene standard for chrysotile, or 10–9 g/m3 in the three cases where the TEM was used.
