Air Monitoring

Air monitoring involves sampling the air in a building or outside to measure the concentration of asbestos fibers. This type of testing is commonly used during asbestos removal or remediation projects to ensure that asbestos fibers are not being released into the air and endangering the health of inhabitants or workers in the vicinity.

What Materials May Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos was widely used in a variety of building materials before its ban in the UK in 1999. Some common materials that may contain asbestos include:

• Cement sheets and corrugated roofs: These materials were often used in the construction of industrial buildings and sheds.
• Insulation: Asbestos was used as insulation in pipes, boilers, and ducts.
• Ceiling tiles: Asbestos was often incorporated into ceiling tiles for fire resistance and insulation.
• Floor tiles: Asbestos was used in vinyl and linoleum floor tiles to add strength and durability.
• Textured coatings: Asbestos was used in textured coatings such as Artex to create a decorative finish on ceilings and walls.
