Commission. A hair dryer test system was developed, consisting of a clean air sc sampling duct assembly, several types of monitoring equipment and filter sample Generated samples were assessed by transmission electron microscopy capabh performing energy dispersive analysis of x-rays and selected area electron diffra 30 dryers evaluated, 23 were home use hand held appliances, three were table t models, one was a hobby heat gun, and one was a heavy duty commercial salor The airborne asbestos concentrations generated by these dryers ranged from 0 structures/cubic centimeter and the mass concentrations ranged from 0 to 7652 nanograms/cubic meter. No significant differences were noted whether the dryer operated at high heat or at cycled heat.
