Workers who handle asbestos can carry the fibres home on their clothes, shoes, and tools. This puts their families at risk of secondhand exposure, leading to serious illnesses like mesothelioma. If you work around asbestos, always follow decontamination procedures to keep your loved ones safe!

Konsekvensen af Arbejdstilsynets mangelfulde indsats er, at det kan betale sig for virksomhederne at spekulere i at omgå reglerne. Det mener Jan Hyldgaard, som i mere end 30 år har undervist håndværkere i at arbejde med asbest.

It is shocking that in countries where electron microscopy and EDS are available, #asbestos analysis of air samples using PCM/light microscopy is still permitted. Thin and long fibers pose the greatest health risk, and most (like this 50nm x 3µm chrysotile) are far below the resolution limit of PCM.
