How is asbestos point counting done?
Asbestos point counting is a quantitative method used to estimate the concentration of asbestos fibers in a sample, typically from materials like building insulation or floor tiles. This technique involves analyzing a predetermined area of a prepared microscope slide, where a specific number of fields of view are counted. Each fiber type is assigned points based on their size and type, with a minimum threshold for identification. The total points are then used to calculate the percentage of asbestos in the sample, allowing for assessment of its potential risk.
