Asbestos and Artificial Mineral Fibre Survey
Owing to its specific technical properties, asbestos was used in over 3000 products
It is found in various construction chemicals (e.g. paints and fillers) and technical equipment (e.g. ventilation tubes, night storage heaters). Weakly bound asbestos products are especially dangerous (e.g. sprayed asbestos, sealing strips). Artificial mineral fibres are used mainly as insulation materials.
Today, asbestos products are past contamination, negatively affecting the environment and thus our health. Airborne asbestos dust is one of the most hazardous carcinogenic substances. Artificial mineral fibres are suspected of having similar adverse health effects.
TÜV SÜD offers
- TÜV SÜD provides comprehensive services in the field of environmental engineering. In addition to their longstanding experience, our experts are especially trained and can generally identify asbestos containing materials on site. In cases of doubt, certainty is provided by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) carried out in our laboratories.
- On-site identification and assessment of asbestos and artificial mineral fibre products
- Measurement of indoor fibre concentration
- Support of asbestos removal measures
- Analysis of asbestos and artificial mineral fibres using SEM und EDXA
