BACKGROUND ON ASBESTOS
BACKGROUND ON ASBESTOS
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
The word asbestosis derived from a Greek adjective meaning inextinguishable. The "miracle mineral" as it was referred to by the Greeks, was admired for its soft and pliant properties, as well as its ability to withstand heat. Asbestos was spun and woven into cloth in the same manor as cotton. It was also utilized for wicks in sacred lamps. Romans likewise recognized the properties of asbestos and it is thought that they cleaned asbestos tablecloths by throwing them into the flames of a fire.
From the time of the Greeks and Romans in the first century until its re-emergence in the eighteenth centmy, asbestos received little attention or use. It was not available in large amounts until extensive deposits were discovered in Canada in the late 1800's. Following this discoveiy, asbestos emerged as an insulating component in thermal system insulation (TS!) for boilers, pipes and other high temperahire applications and as a reinforcement material for a variety of products.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ASBESTOS
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. It is distinguished from other minerals by the fact that its crystals form long, thin fibers. Deposits of asbestos are found throughout the world. The primmy sites of commercial production are the Commonwealth of Independent States, Canada, China, and Brazil. Zimbabwe and South Africa. Asbestos is also mined commercially in limited quantities in the United States, in California and Ve1mont.
Asbestos minerals are divided into two groups - serpentine and amphibole. The distinction between groups is based upon a mineral's crystalline structure - serpentine minerals have a sheet or layered structure, amphiboles have a chain-like crystal structure.
Chrysotile, the only asbestos mineral in the serpentine group, is the most commonly used type of asbestos and accounts for approximately 95% of the asbestos found in buildings in the
United States. Clnysotile is commonly known as "white asbestos," so named for its natural color.
Five types of asbestos are found in the amphibole group. Amosite the second most likely type to be found in buildings is oftcu referred to as "brown asbestos." As you might assume, in its natural state amosite is brown in color.
Crocidolite._"Blue asbestos," is also an amphibole. Crocidolite was used in high temperature insulation applications. The remaining three types of asbestos in the amphibole group are:
anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite. These varieties are of little commercial value.
Occasionally they are found as contaminants in asbestos containing materials.
Once extracted from the earth asbestos containing rock is crushed, milled (ground) and graded.
This produces thread-like fibers of material. What actually appears, as a fiber is an agglomeration of hundreds or thousands of fibers, each of which can be divided even further into microscopic fibers.
USES OF ASBESTOS
Asbestos has been used in literally thousands of products. Collectively, these are frequently referred to as asbestos-containing material (ACM). Asbestos gained widespread use because it is plentiful, readily available, and low in cost. Because of its unique properties - fire resistance, high tensile strength poor heat and electrical conductivity, and being generally impervious to chemical attacks - asbestos proved well suited for many uses in the construction trades.
One of the most common uses for asbestos is as a fireproofing_material. It was sprayed on steel beams, columns, and decking that were used in construction of multi-storied buildings. This application prevented these structural members from warping or collapsing in the event of fire.
Chrysotile was the most commonly used asbestos constituent in sprayed-on fireproofing.
Asbestos comprised 5 - 95 percent of the fireproofing mixture and was used in conjunction with materials such as vermiculite, sand, cellulose fibers, gypsum and a binder such as calcium carbonate. These materials are soft and may be fluffy in appearance and to the touch. They vary in color from white to dark gray, and occasionally they have been painted or encapsulated with a clear or colored sealant. The material may be exposed or concealed behind a suspended ceiling. Application to structural members (beams and columns) often resulted in some material being sprayed on walls and ceilings as well. This is referred too as overspray.
Asbestos is added to a variety of building materials to enhance strength. It is found in concrete and concrete-like products. Asbestos-containing cement products generally contain Portland cement, aggregate, and Cluysotile fibers. The asbestos content may range up to 50 percent by weight depending on the use of the product. Asbestos cement products are used as siding and roofing shingles; as wallboard, as corrugated and flat sheets for roofing, cladding and partitions; and as pipes. Asbestos has also been added to asphalt vinyl and other materials to make products like roofing felts, exterior siding, floor tile, joint con-pounds and adhesives.
Fibers in asbestos cement, asphalt, and vinyl are usually firmly bound in the matrix and will be released only if the material is mechanically damaged, for example by drilling, cutting�or sanding. Roofing shingles and siding may also show slow deterioration due to weathering.
As an insulator, asbestos received widespread use for thermal insulation and condensation control. It was usually sprayed, trowel applied, or facto1y installed on or within equipment.
Asbestos proved valuable as a component of acoustical plaster. The material was applied by trowel or by spraying on ceilings and sometimes walls. It varies in color from white to gray -rarely was it painted as a noticeable loss of acoustical value occurs. Similarly, as decorative product asbestos was mixed with other materials and sprayed on ceilings and walls to produce a sot textured appearance.
FRIABLE VS. NON-FRIABLE ACM
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) distinguishes between friable and non friable forms of ACM. Friable ACM contains more than I% asbestos and can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry." Other things being equal, friable
ACM is thought to release fibers into the air more readily; however, many types of non-friable
ACM can also release fibers if disturbed.
CATEGORIES OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING BUILDING MATERIALS
EPA identifies three categories of ACM used in buildings:
Surfacing Materials - ACM sprayed or troweled on surfaces (walls, ceilings, and structural members) for acoustical, decorative, or fireproofing purposes. This includes plaster and fireproofing insulation.
Thermal System Insulation (TSI) - Insulation used to inhibit heat transfer or prevent condensation on pipes, boilers, tanks, ducts, and various other components of hot and cold water system and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HY AC) systems. This includes pipe lagging, pipe wrap, block, batt, and blanket insulation; cements and "muds"; and a variety of other products such as gaskets and ropes.
Miscellaneous Materials - Other, largely non-friable products and materials such as floor tile, ceiling tile, roofing felt, concrete pipe, outdoor siding and fabrics.
While it is often possible to "suspect" that a material or product is or contains asbestos by visual determination actual determination can only be made by instrumental analysis. The EPA requires that the asbestos content of suspect materials be determined by collecting bulk samples and analyzing them by polarized light microscopy (PLM). The PLM technique deteimines both the percent and type of asbestos in the bulk material.
However, some of these materials do not have to be inspected and inventoried under the
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) Rule. Asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) as defined by the Rule excludes materials installed outside a building ( e.g., roofing felt and siding) and most fabric materials.

Category II Non-friable AMC: Includes all non-friable asbestos-containing materials, which are not Category I Non-friable ACM (NESHAP definition).
Class I Work Activity: The removal of thermal system insulation and surfacing ACM and P ACM (OSHA definition).
Class II Work Activity: The removal of ACM which is not thermal system insulation of surfacing material (OSHA definition).
Class III Work Activity: Repair and maintenance operations where thermal system insulation and surfacing ACM and PACM may be disturbed (OSHA definition).
Class IV Work Activity: Maintenance and custodial activities during which employees contact but do not disturb ACM and P ACM, and activities to clean up dust, waste and debris resulting from Class I, II, or III activities (OSHA definition).
Competent Person: An employee working at a building owned or leased by the client that oversees the asbestos-related duties in the building and one who has a solid working knowledge of asbestos handling procedures.
Designated Person: A person appointed by a local education agency to be in charge of the asbestos control program (AHERA definition).
Encapsulant: A material that su11'ounds or embeds asbestos fibers in an adhesive matrix to prevent the release of fibers.
Encapsulation: Treatment of asbestos containing materials with encapsulant.
Friable Asbestos Material: Material that contains more than 1 percent asbestos by weight and that can be crumbled, pulverized, of reduced by hand pressure.
Functional Spaces (areas): Spatially distinct units within a building which contain identifiable populations of building occupants.
Glovebag: A device used to remove a section of pipe insulation without isolating the entire space or room.
HEPA Filter: A High Efficiency Particular Air filter capable of trapping and retaining 99.97 percent of asbestos fibers greater than 0.3 microns in diameter.
HEP A Filter Vacuum Collection Equipment: High efficiency particulate air filtered vacuum collection equipment with a filter system capable of collecting and retaining asbestos fibers.
Filters should be 99 .97 percent efficiency for retaining fibers of 0.3 microns or larger.
Homogeneous Sampling Area: An area of material which appears similar throughout in terms of color, texture, and date of application. Some inspection reports refer to this as "homogeneous material".
Medical Surveillance Program: Periodically examining all employees exposed at or above the OSHA permissible exposure limit or excursion limit, or who engage in a particular type of asbestos-related activity for a specified period of time, of who wear a negative pressure respirator during work.
Operations and Maintenance Plan: Set of specific procedures and practices applied to building cleaning, maintenance, renovation and general operation to maintain the building as free of asbestos contamination as possible.
Presumed Asbestos-containing Material (P ACM): Thermal system insulation and surfacing material found in a building built no later than 1980 (OSHA definition).
Protection Factor: The ratio of the ambient concentration of an airborne substance to the concentration of the substance inside the respirator at the breathing zone of the wearer. The protection factor is a measure of the degree of protection provided by a respirator to the wearer.
Respiratory Protection program: A set of procedures and equipment required by OSHA if employees wear respirators.
Response actions: Actions specified in the management plan to control ACM; includes repair, O&M, removal, encapsulation, and enclosure.
Wet Cleaning: The process of eliminating asbestos contamination from building surfaces and objects by using cloths, mops, or other cleaning utensils which have been dampened with amended water or diluted removal encapsulate and afterwards thoroughly decontaminated or dispensed of as asbestos contaminated waste.
