Types of Asbestos Exposure Tests

Friable Asbestos
Friable asbestos refers to materials that can easily crumble or break down into powder by hand. This type poses a higher risk as it can release harmful asbestos fibers into the air, which can be dangerous when inhaled. Common sources include sprayed insulation, pipe insulation, and soundproofing materials.

Non-Friable Asbestos
Non-friable asbestos is more stable and less likely to release harmful fibers into the air. It is typically bonded with other materials, reducing the risk unless disturbed or damaged. Common examples include asbestos cement products, vinyl floor tiles, and roofing felt.

Chrysotile: White Asbestos
Chrysotile, commonly known as white asbestos, is the most prevalent type, accounting for 90-95% of asbestos found in buildings. Its flexible, curly fibers made it a popular choice for roofing, ceilings, and tiles due to its fire-resistant properties. While considered slightly less hazardous than other asbestos types, long-term exposure can still lead to serious health risks, making proper testing and safe handling essential for protection.

Tremolite Asbestos
Tremolite asbestos, often found as a contaminant in chrysotile and talc, contains sharp, needle-like fibers that can cause severe lung diseases when inhaled. Although not commonly used in construction, it may still be present in insulation, paints, and sealants.
Professional testing is crucial for detecting and safely
managing tremolite exposure.
