Ames Environmental: Asbestos - Asbestos Air Monitoring

Liability

for occupant and employee protection under OSHA can be reduced by having us provide unbiased air monitoring for asbestos removal projects. Air monitoring is used primarily to determine the concentration of asbestos fibers in the air at the location in which the sample is collected.

Includes:

On-site collection of air samples
- Pre-abatement
- Personal
- Area
- Final clearance
Laboratory analysis of air samples
Air monitoring results report verifying the air quality

General Info:

Air monitoring can be used to:
- Gauge the effectiveness of asbestos abatement work
- Ensure that air quality conditions are safe for workers during the removal project.
Determine if concentration is higher before or after the removal project.

Please Note:

Payment will be required prior to the release of the lab report.

Types of Air Monitoring:

Pre-abatement samples are taken prior to the disturbance of any asbestos-containing materials. This establishes background levels of any asbestos fibers that might be in the air at the location.
Personal samples are collected to determine fiber concentrations in the breathing zone of the abatement workers for use in respirator selection.
Area samples are collected at entrances and exits to the work area, at air filtration units’ exhaust, and areas adjacent to the work site to detect fiber releases into unregulated areas.
Final clearance sampling is done to establish cleanliness prior to returning the space back to normal public use.
