The air concentrations of fibers during the spraying were up to 100-200 f/cm3

New asbestos is produced and used • Removing all existing asbestos is a goal (EU Parliament Initiative, 2012) • Safe removal and waste management is needed and has to be developed further • Reliable low cost methods to identify asbestos have to be developed for countries with modest resources • Where ACM are found, what does it look like, history of the building and material use 13.03.14 32Timo Tuomi
