Popis: | Asbestos contamination and subsequent inhalation and ingestion is becoming recognized as a substantial public health hazard. High resolution scanning electron microscopy has been employed to evaluate air and water samples for the occurence and nature of asbestos fiber contamination. This method has many advantages over the more time consuming and costly TEM methods with equal capability of resolving elemental fibrils (fig. 1). |
