Ambient air — Determination of asbestos fibres — Direct transfer transmission electron microscopy method

Summary

This document specifies a reference method using transmission electron microscopy for the
determination of airborne asbestos fibres and structures in in a wide range of ambient air situations,
including the interior atmospheres of buildings, and for a detailed evaluation for asbestos structures
in any atmosphere. The method allows determination of the type(s) of asbestos fibres present and also
includes measurement of the lengths, widths and aspect ratios of the asbestos structures. The method
cannot discriminate between individual fibres of asbestos and elongate fragments (cleavage fragments
and acicular particles) from non-asbestos analogues of the same amphibole mineral[13]
