DAF Planet/Flat-Top Building: Summary of Unexpected Airborne Radioactivity on Low-Volume Air Samples Due to Ventilation Lineup Changes

Trace metallic elements of Cr, Ni, Mn, and Cu in the atmospheric samples were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Organic membranes coupled with a low volume air sampler were utilized to collect air samples since conventional glass fiber filters were found to be unsuitable for this purpose. A new sample preparation technique and flame conditions were discussed to improve the accuracy of the analysis.

At the present time the primary objective of the electron microscopy group of the Air and Industrial Hygiene Laboratory is the development of a method suitable for use in establishing an air quality standard for asbestos in ambient air and for use in its surveillance. The main concept and thrust of our approach for the development of this method is to obtain a true picture of fiber occurrence as a function of particle size and asbestos type utilizing light and electron microscopy.We have now available an electron micrographic atlas of all asbestos types including selected area diffraction patterns and examples of fibers isolated from air samples. Several alternative approaches for measuring asbestos in ambient air have been developed and/or evaluated. Our experiences in this regard will be described. The most promising method involves: 1) taking air samples on cellulose ester membrane filters with a nominal pore size of 0.8 micron; 2) ashing in a low temperature oxygen plasma for several hours;
