Air Monitoring
When asbestos materials are damaged or disturbed, asbestos fibers can be released into the air, causing significant health risks and lung damage in exposed individuals. Asbestos air monitoring is conducted to assess risk and to ensure effective control methods are in place.

Non-Friable Material Sample
Nonfriable suspected asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) means suspected surfacing asbestos-containing material (ACM), thermal system insulation ACM, or miscellaneous ACM that is found in or on the interior structural members or other parts of a school building and that when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. (40 CFR part 763.83) An example of nonfriable suspected ACBM could be wallboard or floor tile.
Health Risks of Asbestos
Depending on the duration of exposure, asbestos fibers can cause Asbestosis, Lung Cancer, Mesothelioma, Pleural disease, and more.
