Asbestos
A group of naturally occurring minerals that separate into fibers. There are six asbestos minerals used commercially: Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, Anthophyllite, Tremolite, and Actinolite.
Cementitious
Friable materials that are densely packed and nonfibrous.
Delaminate
To separate into layers. As used here, to separate from the
.........
......... substrate.
(Human) Exposure
The presence of people in an area where levels of an airborne
i ....................... contaminant are elevated. A more technical definition sometimes
found in scientific literature is: The total amount of airborne
contaminant inhaled by a person, typically approximated by the
............ ................. product of concentration and duration.
:
(Material) Exposure
The amount or fraction of material visible.
Fibrous
Spongy, fluffy, composed of long strands of fibers.
Friable
Capable of being crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by
......; hand pressure.
_
Homogeneous t
Peak levels
Similar in appearance and texture.
.-`
Levels of airborne containment which are much higher than average and occur for short periods of time in response to sudden release of the contaminant.
Prevalent levels
. Levels of airborne contaminant occurring under normal conditions.
Resolve
Risk
t, .
i
? ;To distinguish different objects with a microscope.
