The use of infrared spectrophotometry for the estimation of small quantities of single varieties of UICC asbestos
An i.r. technique has been developed to measure small quantities (down to less than 10 μg) of single varieties of asbestos. This has been used to monitor airborne fibre concentration and to measure the asbestos recovered from the lungs of rats. The method has the advantages that it is relatively simple to perform and requires minimal labour, whilst its precision for estimating micro quantities of asbestos (<200 μg) is much greater than by direct weighing.
