SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS OF OCCUPATIONAL AIRBORNE ASBESTOS TEXTILE FIBRES AS DETERMINED BY TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
Abstract
The size distributions of airborne chrysotile fibres, associated with the processes of carding, spinning and weaving in an asbestos textile factory, have been evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. The distributions were approximately log-normal, with little change between processes. Median lengths and diameters were 1.6 and 0.08 μm, respectively. The results indicate that about 60% of fibres would not be seen by scanning electron microscopy, under the usual conditions, and an even larger proportion would be missed by optical microscopy. For fibres longer than 5 μm, then, about 70% of fibres would be seen by the scanning electron microscope. An optical microscope with a resolution of 0.3 μm would see approximately one quarter of all fibres greater than this length.

In the citing paper
“In these studies the non-regulated fibers, SAF, and LAF with a diameter < 0.2 μm, represented between 50 and 100% of the total fibers, with the majority of samples between 80 and 100% respectively.”

In the citing paper
“Analysis of asbestos size categories according to sectors of activity and the concentration levels found in the literature [10-18] highlight a number of sectors with higher prevalence of SAF, including in particular asbestos cement production, friction materials production, brake systems repair and mining.”

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.
