Control of Asbestos Exposure during Brake Drum Service
Abstract
An estimated 150,000 brake mechanics and garage workers in the U.S. are potentially exposed to asbestos, a known health hazard. Earlier studies of airborne asbestos exposures to mechanics during brake maintenance operations showed overexposure to asbestos fibers during brake servicing, especially brake assembly cleaning. Most brake service operations are performed by small businesses that lack resources to evaluate control devices. The results from the evaluation of five control methods for containing asbestos brake dust during brake maintenance are presented. These controls included two commercial enclosure devices with ventilation provided by high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter-equipped vacuums, a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum cleaner without an enclosure, a wet brush/recycle system which recirculated the cleaning solution, and an aerosol spray for wetting the brake assembly. Detailed surveys of the controls were conducted at five separate facilities during actual brake servicing operations to automobiles, pickup trucks, vans, and vehicles with a four-wheel rear axle. Personal and area air samples collected during brake repair to each vehicle were analyzed by phase contrast microscopy (PCM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Personal sampling results for the brake mechanics show that concentrations determined by PCM analysis ranged from less than 0.004 f/cc to 0.016 f/cc. All exposures were below the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NI…

“All of these studies involved exposures only to chrysotile asbestos of unknown origin, because this was the fiber type used in the formulation of asbestos-containing friction materials [101].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
