I. INTRODUCTION
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health NIOSH is the
primary Federal agency engaged in occupational safety and health research
Located in the Department of Health and Human Services formerly Department of
Health Education and Wolfare it was octabliched by the Occupational
and Health Act of 1970. This legislation mandated
Safety
NIOSH to conduct a number
of research and education programs separate from the standard setting and
enforcement functions of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
OSHA in the Department of Labor An important area of NIOSH

research deal

physical hazards to safe levels The Engineering Control Technology Branch
ECTB of the Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering has been given the
lead within NIOSH to study the engineering aspects of hazard control
Since 1976 ECTB has conducted a number of assessments of health hazard
control technology on the basis of industry common industrial
process or
specific control techniques Examples of these completed studies include the
foundry industry various chemical manufacturing or processing operations spray painting and the recirculation of exhaust air The objective of each
of these studies has been to evaluate and document effective control
techniques for potential health hazards in the industry interest and to create a more general awareness of the
or process of need for or
availability of an effective system of hazard control measures

Background
Asbestos is found in motor vehicle brake materials Recognition of asbestos
carcinogenic properties has currently resulted in substitution of less toxic
fibers for come brake materials
However acbertor in still used in
number of brakes
large This study is concerned with the control of asbestos
exposures to workers who are required to repair motor vehicle brakes
Dubrow and Wegman published a research and control priority assessment of
occupational carcinogens Their objective was to identify occupations
with potentially high cancer risk by combining the results of 12 major Occupational disease surveillance studies and to make recommendations
concerning priorities for occupational cancer research and control on the
basis of the results of this analysis in conjunction with other available
epidemiologic industrial hygiene toxicologic and employment data basis of the principles outlined in their paper some priorities for

and control clearly stood out Their results pointed to the investigation control of occupational exposure to asbestos as the number one priority in
and
occupational cancer research and control In this situation where
occupational disease surveillance studies point to a likely problem with a known carcinogenic agent the priority should be placed on industrial hygiene investigations of asbestos exposure in the suspect occupations If likely exposure is found control measures should be developed and instituted
There are frequent asbestos exposures during brake repair in the vehicle
maintenance work force NIOSH in the National Occupational Exposure Survey estimates that a work force of 151,000 brake mechanics and garage workers in the U.S. are potentially exposed to asbestos Other estimates run as
high as 900,000 workers being potentially exposed in brake servicin3g
A study of brake service operations was needed because of the following known carcinogenic potential of asbestos a large number of workers are
the
potentially exposed primarily small businesses lack resources to evaluate control devices and
perform brake servicing
the general lack of
and
information on the effectiveness of currently available control devices
Therefore the Engineering Control Technology Branch undertook this study
The primary objective of this control technology assessment is to determine
the the
effectiveness of various control techniques used during brake repair transfer of the documented information to the appropriate individuals
and in
industry labor academia and the government i.e. industrial hygienists
safety engineers OSHA EPA etc. A secondary objective of this assessment
is to determine if additional research is needed
Description of Brake Servicing Operations
Repair facilities follow the same basic servicing procedures The vehicle is
driven into a repair stall or bay for a brake system examination Pending repairs the wheels are elevated removed and the brakes inspected Loose dust is cleaned from the drums and brake assemblies by vacuuming wet or dry
brushing using compressed air or a combination of these methods
Parts are then replaced or repaired as needed and the brake system is
reassembled and adjusted The vehicle is then driven to check and adjustment in the final phase of the servicing operation
for
proper
fit
The brake repairman and other service personnel potentially exposed to asbestos dust during and removal If the normal dust buildup inside the removed and disposed of in a controlled manner

consistent with asbestosis with observed changes noted in chest rays and indication of restrictive pulmonary function The prevalence of these changes was significantly higher after 20 years exposure a result expected after

Many of the asbestos fibers originally present in the unused brake shoe

NIOSH submitted an update on the recommended asbestos criteria at
proposed making hearings for asbestos in June 1984. The position is summarized below
the OSHA NIOSH
The carcinogenic potential of asbestos is no longer in doubt however there is some uncertainly shout the toxicaingical and morphological
properties which determine the carcinogenic potency of various fibers
NIOSH believes that on the basis of available information there is no
scientific basis for differentiating between asbestos fiber types for
regulatory purposes Data available to date provide no evidence for the
existence of a threshold level studied to date demonstrated an
Virtually all levels of asbestos exposure
excess of asbestos disease
NIOSH continues to believe that both asbestos and smoking are independently capable of increasing the risk of lung cancer mortality When exposure to both occurs the combined effect with respect to lung
cancer appears to be multiplicative rather than additive From the
evidence presented we of causing lung cancer
may and
conclude that
mesothelioma
asbestos is
independent
a carcinogen of smoking
capable
NIOSH has recommended that asbestos be controlled to the lowest detectable
limit It is our contention that there is no safe concentration of
axposure will not
to asbestos Any standard no ensure absolute protection for
matter how low the concentration all workers from developing cancer
as a result their occupational exposure However lower exposur~ sexposur~ s
carry lower risks
Tann Since the only widely wwallable method NIOSH Mathod
17 is
to achieve intralaboratory accuracy of 12.8 RSD at an exposure
able limit of
0.1 cc 100,000 min a 400 liter sample NIOSH and others have
recommended an exposure limit REL of 0.1 cc for asbestos based on
hour weighted average concentrations While this is a well
undorctood practico wo can not find compolling argumente to prevent a
recommendation based on alternative sampling periods
In fact such an
approach may provide more protection than an hour based sampling period
that allows short exposures 6 or 10 times greater than the hour
exposure limito being considered by O HA Furthermore since there is
uncertainty rogarding the cumulativo doco roquirod to initiato dicoaco it
seems reasonable to make overy attempt to control exposures to as narrow a
range of restrict
concentrations as possible One way to accomplish the period over which workplace concentrations can
this is to be averaged
Perconal campling pumps are available with flow ratac up to 3.5 1pm which would allow a campling time of two houre or lost
Finally we still believe that there are occasions such as mixed fiber
exposures where fiber specificity is necessary Therefore we recommend the use of electron microscopy in the event of process or product modification in mixed fiber exposures or when there are other reasons for characterization of fiber type and morphology

As noted the occupational exposure criteria - the NIOSH REL and the OSHA
PEL- are method
based on the readily available Phase
This method has inherent limitations
Contrast based on
Microscopy analytical
the physics of the
optical microscope and upon the ability of discriminate the specified length to width The minimum diameter routinely observed is
the counters to reliably ratin in a complex sample matrix
on the order of O. ...m The
NIOSH 7400 method stipulates that only fibers longer than 5 um be counted
with a length to width ratio of either 1 A rules or 1 B rules
The A rules use the have the advantage of
same aspect relating to
ratio as the current OSHA standard and current and historical compliance data
thus
They have the potential disadvantage of counting particles that may or may not be fibers In the present study TEM offers the advantage of being able to
determine the actual dimensions of all fibers that were counted and thus to
dillerentiate the numbers of fibers will various lenglis to width ratios
A
coarse analysis of this data indicates and 7400 counting rules would differ
that fiber counts by less than 15
using
NIOSH
A 7400.
Another concern is that asbestos fibrils as small as 0.02 ...m in diameter and
less than 1 ...min length are visible only with electron microscopy These fibrils constitute a significant and variable proportion of the total fibers present in brake dust Thus PCM in counting only optically visible
particles may not be a good indicator of the total fibers present Controversy over the health affect of small fibara and thus what sizes of
Fibers should he mounted adds further ambiguity to this area
On June 20 1986 OSHA issued a revised standard PEL which reduced the PCM
level to 0.3 00 00 on 8 hour timo uoightod average TWA onpoques
It aloo
set an action level of 0.1 cc that triggers worker training medical

1
Fill the reservoir with one gallon of brake cleaner concentrate and five
gallons of water
2 Make sure the switch is in OFF position and plug into power source
3 Make sure the bruch is positioned toward the solvent supply or in the
catch basin to prevent accidental spillage and loss of solution Do not leave brush and hose assembly on the floor
4 If the vehicle is on a lift place the machine so that the catch basin is directly under the brake assembly Height of the catch basin can be adjusted for convenience of the mechanic If the vehicle is raised by a front lift or jack as is often the case with trucks cleaning can be done by removing the catch basin opening the hinged cover of the main reservoir tank and cleaning over the expanded metal mesh covering the fluid reservoir

METHODOLOGY
Air Sampling and Analysis
Personal air samples for asbestos were collected in duplicate on 0.8 pore size 25 diameter cellulose ester membrane filters at 3.0 1pm for the duration of a single brake job or 2 hours whichever was longer The total volume collected 360 liters allowed a limit of detection of approximately 0.004 fibers by Phase Contrast Microscopy PCM analysis
Area air samples for asbestos were collected on cellulose ester filters Two
area samples were collected at the vehicle fender and the axle source

A bulk brake dust samples for each vehicle and a bulk rafter sample for the site were collected and analyzed for asbestos by TEM The percentage of
asbestos in the bulk samples was qualitatively determined by estimating the ratio of the number of asbestos fibers to total dust particles The
percentage length and
of fibers that were asbestos was quantitatively determined the
diameter of asbestos and other fibers were measured
Elemental
analysis of the nonasbestiform constituents was performed using energy
dispersive ray analysis
Real Monitoring
The entire brake maintenance operation was recorded on videotape Two
Hand Aerosol Monitors HAMS ppm Inc. Knoxville Tennessee and a
personal computer Apple II Plus were used to measure and record the dust
levels The HAM's electro system provides instantaneous measurements
of total dust levels in mat one second intervals The HAM sends a
millivolt signal to the computer which records it as a relative dust level
The computer program can record a maximum of 2,000 readings at a minimum of
four second intervals before it has to be reset
The HAMS measured the dust
levels axle

zeroed The computer's clock was synchronized with that of the video camera DuPont P4000 or MSA Model G pumps were connected by tubing to each HAM and each HAM in turn was connected by a foot electrical lead to the computer programmed to receive the data The brake maintenance operator wore one HAM and the other HAM was set beneath the axle of the vehicle undergoing brake
maintenance The computer recorded these dust levels on a disk from which a plot was later made By comparing the plot to the video recording of that brake maintenance operation dust sources due to work practices and enclosure leaks could be identified Although the HAMS are not specific for asbestos if the asbestos fibers are dispersed along with the other components of the brake dust which seems to be a resonable assumption then the HAM should be
a useful real time indicator for control of asbestos laden dust
Using a spreadsheet program Lotus 1-2-3 a time plot of the dust was made By comparing the peaks from this plot with the video work practices producing elevated dust levels can be identified

RESULTS
Time Sampling Resuits
Real total total dust data were collected using Held Aerosol
Monitors HAM's connected to an Apple II Plus computer Two time
samples were collected one alongside the personal sample on the brake
mechanic and the other just below the vehicle's axle time data
collection was during actual brake maintenance operations approximately an
hour in duration and was obtained during all 10 brake maintenance jobs
Nine
different operators performed the brake maintenance jobs on these 10 vehicles
The general brake maintenance procedure was
-
Remove the wheel's lug bolts and the wheel average time 17 seconds
-
Remove the brake drum average time 17 seconds Thirty percent
of the operators let the cleansing liquid run down between the brake
drum and the support plate for about 15 seconds before removing the

To interpret the time computer data the instruments background level 0.05 millivolts is used as the reference point at this facility This
background level is the Apple's internal noise level and values below it
are considered to be unreliable as to accuracy and were not used
Values
above this reference level are used to identify the dust sources By determining the magnitudes value above the reference point with time these dust exposures relative dust exposures due to certain phases of

This potential appears to be reduced when the cleansing liquid is
allowed to flow between the broke drum and brake support plate before the drum

The nign Aust level experienced during the removal and tightening ot the lug bolts appears to be due more to the impact wrench than the road dust on the rim One faulty or worn out impact wrench significantly increased the total dust levels when it was used on two of the forty wheels as noted previously by directing compressed air onto the wheel being serviced The
elevated time dust readings may also have been from an oil mist aerosol
from the wrench generated by the compressed air

Air Sampling Results
Individual filium sumpla muoulto fom olmboemo ombo0400 Sibere oes unted in
Table A of Appendix A and are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. The results for
samples analyzed by Phase Contrast Microscopy PCM are presented in Table 1
Personal asbestos sample concentrations for the brake mechanics averaged less
than the detection limit of 0.004 fibers with only one sample above
0.004 fibers Source samples taken above the wheel fender averaged less
than 0.002 fibers source samples hung over the axle and centered between
the two
wheals avaraged less than separate locations in the
0.002 fibers background samples collected at garage averaged less than 0.001 fibers and
outdoor ambient samples averaged less than 0.001 fibers
As stated
earlier TEM analysis of these samples show that more than 85 of the
chrysotile fibers counted using the A rules would also have been counted
using the B rules
Nineteen of the 20 personal samples taken during 10 brake jobs were below the
dotoction limit of 0.004 fiborc
Because personal sample concentrations
represented exposures while servicing brakes and this usually takes no more
than 2 to 3 hours per shift the mechanics weighted averages exposure
would be even lower than the measured levels
Only 1 of the 76 samples analyzed by PCM was above the detectable limit thus analyses comparing brake mechanics type of vehicle and differences between brake inspection and brake replacements were not done
Transmission Electron Microscopy TEM results are summarized in Table 2. fibers identified as chrysotile or amphibole asbestos with an aspect ratio 1 or greater were counted fibers 0.25 microns and longer are included few samples contained fibers that were not identified no I.D. but could possibly be asbestos

The arithmetic mean TEM concentration Table 2 for all personal samples was 0.008 fibers with a standard deviation of 0.003 fibers This concentration was higher than the background levels in the building which averaged 0.002 fibers and the outdoor ambient levels which averaged 0.002 fibers Source samples taken at the axle averaged 0.004 fibers while samples taken at the fender above the wheel averaged 0.009 Fibers The TEM source sample results were only slightly above background levels Because most concentrations were below detectable limits and detectable concentrations were not much above detectable limits tests of significance were not performed on this data
Asbestos fibers chrysotile or amphibole greater than or equal to 5 um in length were found in only 12 of the 48 samples analyzed by TEM Two personal samples showed fibers greater than 5 um Asbestos fibers that were in a matrix partially hidden by particles fibers and X fibers - fibers that extended into another field - are not included in Table 2 but are denoted in Appendix A. Four of 48 samples analyzed by TEM contained M or X asbestos fibers and one of these samples would show substantially higher concentrations had M or X fibers been included
Bulk and Rafter Sample Results
Bulk samples were collected from the drums of nine of the vehicles tested
In
addition a rafter sample was collected and analyzed The bulk sample results
are presented in Table 3.
Less than % of the
of the bulk samples and the rafter sample were
total material dust in each asbestos although asbestos
constituted virtually all the fibers that were found From 83 to 100 of the
fibers in the 9 brake drum bulk samples were chrysotile with two of the nine
samples containing 100 chrysotile asbestos fibers
bulk samples contained amphibole fibers From 0 to
Two of the brake drum % of asbestos fibers and
bundles were longer than 5 microns
Three percent of the fibers from beake
job No. 1 bulk sample were larger than 5 um The remaining eight bulk samples ;
contained % or fewer chrysotile fibers longer than 5 microns The rafter
sample contained 99 chrysotile fibers with % of the asbestos fibers larger
than 5 microns
The OSHA Standard or 0.2 Fibers Action level 0.1 fibers cc and the NIOSH
recommended exposure limit of 0.1 fibers for asbestos 8 hour time weighted
average are based on PCM analysis of asbestos using A counting rules B
counting rules were utilized in this research study As noted earlier TEM
analysis of these counted using the
samples show that more than 85 of the
A rules would also have been counted
chrysotile fibers using the B rules
Based on the levels measured by both PCM and TEM however the mechanic's
expocure in this study would be well below these recommended levels
, CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Occupational exposures can be controlled by the application of a number of known principles including engineering measures ventilation isolation and substitution work practices and personal protection Ongoing monitoring and maintenance of controls to insure proper use and operating conditions and the education and commitment of both workers and management to occupational health are also important ingredients of a complete effective and durable control system These principles of control apply to all

The effectiveness of the brake washer assembly is evidenced by the very low exposures for the brake mechanics Nineteen of the 20 personal samples analyzed by PCM were below the detectable limits of 0.004 fibers well below the current OSHA standard of 0.2 fibers and the NIOSH recommended
standard of 0.1 fibers

Work Practice Results
Table 4 shows the work task analysis of a brake inspection and replacement job while using the brake washer assembly unit Potential asbestos exposui^' points while performing this task are also noted The average work cycle time for a wheel brake inspection task was 12 minutes
As seen from Table 4 asbestos exposure during brake maintenance and repair may occur during the initial tasks of removing the wheel and brake drum from the vehicle Good work practices observed by some of the workers to reduce these exposure points are the use of a wet brush on the wheel and on the back of the brake drum and assembly to suppress dust before removing the brake drum Bad work practices included using a dry rag to wipe down the brake drum and assembly as a substitute for the wet wash unit the use of a hammer to loosen frozen brake drums without first suppressing dust with wet control methods and taking soiled clothing home to wash
Demographic and work practices were obtained from interviews of eight
workers
All eight workers were male ranged in age from 19 to 54 years and
the average age was
years experience as
38.2 - 12.8 years
As a
mechanics and performed
group these men 5.6 - 2.5 brake
had 4.0 + 1.9 jobs per week
The other job duties included general maintenance engine tune repair
work and use of hydraulic equipment Seven of the workers indicated their
right hand was dominant in performing work while one claimed to be
ambidextrous Tools and equipment commonly used during brake maintenance and
repair included brake spring remover pliers hammer brake washer unit
solvent dust mask brake adjustment tool brake shoe loul power air tool
and impact wrench Five of eight employees indicated they were provided with
training with regard to asbestos exposure during brake maintenance the
training lasted anywhere from one to eight hours and usually took place when
employees started working with the U.S. Postal Service Workers remembered
from their training
precautions and not
the use of a respirator to use compressed air to
clean
blow out
procedures and safety brake dust All eight
workers indicated they had a physical examination before being hired by the
Postal Service and all but one employee indicated having a physical exam
within the past year one employee indicated a physical exam in March 1985
Three of eight workers reported having an ray as part of their physical
examination Analysis of workers with and without rays showed an age
dependent pattern with all three workers who had rays being over 40 years of
age When asked if the workers did anything special to protect themselves for
brake dust all indicated use of a dust respirator and use of the brake washer
assembly unit Personal protective equipment worn by all workers included
work clothing and a respirator gloves and other items such as safety glasses
and safety shoes were not indicated
Shower facilities were available for all
workers however only three indicated regular use before leaving work Two
trainee workers reported they did not change out of their work clothes before

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The for
use
the
of this brake washer assembly resulted in very low asbestos exposures vehicles tested indicating effective control of the asbestos dust
Although it was not possible to evaluate an uncontrolled situation to
determine an efficiency for the controls other work has shown peak
exposures using NIOSH Analytical Methods CAM 239 of around 1 fiber and
time weighted average expocure of around 0.2 fiberc with dry bruching or
compressed air blowing This data suggest that the present technique was
substantially effective in controlling asbestos dust during brake servicing
Fender and axle source sample results showed no major differences among the
vehicles tested
There was almost no difference in asbestos exposures between
brake inspections and brake replacements based on TEM results
TEM results were of much greater value than PCM results for evaluating the brake assembly washer since the asbestos levels were quite low The primary
use of the PCM data was to demonstrate that exposures were well below the OSHA
standard and NIOSH recommended level since both the standard and recommended
level are based on the PCM procedure As noted earlier TEM analysis of these
samples show that more than 85 of
rules would also have been counted
the chrysotile fibers using the B rules
counted using
Since the TEM
the A method
is more sensitive and background and
this allowed comparison between personal or source ambient levels all of which were quite low
samples
Bulk sample results analyzed by TEM show that the brakes of the vehicles tested in this study contained chrysotile asbestos fibers and therefore had
asbestos brakes Fibers found in the drums of the nine vehicles tested
were between 83 and 100 chrysotile with 2 vehicles having 100 chrysotile fibers Less than % of the total material dust in each of the bulk samples and the rafter sample were asbestos although asbestos constituted virtually
all the fibers that were found
An analysis of the video and real total dust data indicates that some
dust emission peaks may be reduced by altering work practices such as
1
allowing the cleansing fluid to flow between the brake drum and brake support
plate before the drum is removed and 2 after removing the brake drum
throughly wetting the wheel hub and the back of the brake assembly to suppress dust and then thoroughly washing the brake support plate brake shoes and
brake components used to attach the brake shoes before the operator starts to
manually remove the old shoes

Since asbestos was identified in most brake dust samples showers are recommended as a good practice before going home from work to remove any residual dust from the body and a laundry service should be provided for cleaning soiled work clothing
Further education about personal hygiene i.e. showers at work and changing soiled work clothing before leaving work may provide additional protection by not bringing asbestos dust to the home environment
Maintenance and regular changing of the brake washer assembly solution is encouraged for maximum efficiency of this unit see manufacturer's recommendations
