CBEtfTEX Environmental Laboratory Inc. received SIXTY SIX Bulk Sairples from J & D Enterprises for the analysis and identification of Asbestos. The samples were received on October 17, 1988, and analysed on October 17, 1988 by Polarized Light Microscopy.
The Bulk Samples were first examined for homogeneity and composition with the aid of a Simple Microscope. The visual estimation of relative concentration of Asbestos was made by examining the bulk samples under a Simple Microscope.. Later few fibers were separated from the bulk samples, and observed under a Polarised Light Microscope for several characteristics including* (1) Morphology, (2) Extinction Characteristics, (3; Extinction Angle, (4) Sign of Elongation, (5) Birefringence and (6) Dispersion staining colors., etc.
Quality Assurance practices employed include examination of multiple slides of each sample, comparison of sample slides to Standards, Interlaboratory Identification and participating in Asbestos Bulk Sample Analysis Quality Assurance Program with Environmental Protection Agenay (EPA accreditation # 6510).
