- Determined in air samples by NIOSH 7400 using phase contrast microscopy (PCM). This
is done at the laboratory or in the field. We have 6 portable labs which can be operated
simultaneously by qualified analysts at various locations throughout the state. This
method counts all fibers less than 5 microns in length including asbestos.
|
- Determined in air samples by
Differential Counting on request.
|
- The Chem Scope laboratory is AIHA accredited in the industrial hygiene program.
