Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Classification of asbestos fibres by scanning electron microscopy and computer-digitizing tablet

Notes: Sumario: Because of the need to completely and accurately size asbestos bulk samples for toxicity studies, a method was developed to classify asbestos fibres using enlarged micrographs originally produced on the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Individual fibre length and width measurements were performed on a computer-assisted, digitizing tablet. Seven distinct asbestos samples were classified including five chrysolite and to crocidolite samples. Statistical analyses showed good interfilter fibre size correlation for all types of asbestosRelated records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 2, April 1992 ; p. 155-171Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Amianto Contaminación atmosférica Control de la contaminación SEM Métodos de análisis Muestreos Otros autores: Riley, Robert D.
