Asbestos 2012 Slideshow
- 1. ASBESTOS Hazards and Disposal Methods
- 2. ASBESTOS Intro1 • Asbestos ( /æsˈb ɛstəs/ or /æzˈb ɛstəs/; from Greek ἄσβεστος, "unquenchable" or "inextinguishable") is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals used commercially for their desirable physical properties • They all have in common their eponymous, asbestiform habit, long, (1:20) thin fibrous crystals
- 3. Asbestos in Natureintro2 Fibrous In-organic natural mineral found in abundance in the earth O2 Silica Mined for centuries Deposits around the H world Occurs in fire , primary and metamorphic rocks Mg Fe Varies in chemical and physical characteristics Na ,
- 4. Asbestos ….. inbuildings!? intro3 Building materials are presumed to contain asbestos if installed before 1980, unless testing has proven otherwise
- 5. TYPES OF ASBESTOS1 1-Chrysotile,white asbestos- OH O Si Mg Member of Serpentine Group : Fibers are usually curly bundled and twisted 95% of world’s asbestos. Hydrophilic ; can absorb water thus wetted to minimize fiber release. Most flexible of all asbestos fibres and Less hazardous Withstand the fiercest heat Soft and flexible; spun and woven as easily as cotton. Resistance to alkaline attack ; reinforcing material in asbestos-cement building products. Banned in UK 1999. Absorbs organic materials such as resins and polymers Used to strengthen particulates such as cement. -
- 6. TYPES OF ASBESTOS2 2-Amosite,brown asbestos- OH O Si Fe Member of the Amphibole group. Amosite is usually mined in South Africa. Used in automobile industry clutch – brake pads Harsh, spiky fibres have good tensile strength and resistance to heat. In buildings, amosite was used for anti-condensation and acoustic purposes. On structural steel, it was used for fire protection. Between the 1920s and the late 1960s amosite was used in preformed thermal insulation, pipes, slabs and moulded pipe fitting covers. In the UK amosite was also used widely in the manufacture of insulation boards. The import of amosite was banned as of 1 January 1986 by The Asbestos (Prohibitions) Regulations 1985
- 7. TYPES OF ASBESTOS3 3-Crocidolite, blue asbestos- OH O Si Fe Fe Na Needlelike fibres straight and brittle 5 – 6 % of world’s asbestos. Member of the Amphibole group. The needle like fibres are strongest High resistance to acids. Use in yarn and rope lagging from 1880s-1960s Thermal insulation 1920s-1950s. High bulk volume Sprayed insulation; a product frst manufactured in USA in 1931 Most lethal Strict guidelines since 1969. The "import, supply and use of crude, fibre, flake, powder or waste was banned after Asbestos (Prohibitions) Regulations of 1985
- 8. Friable Vs. Non-FriableAsbestos1 Friable asbestos Crumbled, pulverized or powdered by hand pressure. If friable ACM asbestos-containing material is damaged or disturbed, it presents inhalation risk. Asbestos fibres are more easily released into the air. Sprayed fireproofing on structural steelwork, or thermal insulation on pipes.
- 9. Friable Vs Non-FriableAsbestos2 Non- Friable asbestos Asbestos fibres are bound or locked into the product matrix Fibres are not readily released. Risk for fibre release only when it is subject to significant abrasion through activities such as sanding or cutting with electric power tools. Vinyl asbestos floor tiles, acoustic ceiling tiles, and asbestos cement products.
- 10. Asbestos around theworld Asbestos is produced in 25 countries mainly Canada Australia South Africa Eastern Europe Countries,China and Japan

- 18. A typical asbestosinfested building
- 19. Asbestos Hazards1 Asbestos wasteis highly hazardous . Hazardous characteristics are due to type of metals and physical properties of the asbestos fibres Health effects increase factors : exposure timing – length of fibers – number of fibres – strenght of fibers
- 20. Asbestos Hazards2 Asbestos diseases are more prone to workers on-site and can cause death at higher rate than any other WORK RELATED ILLNESS USEPA classifies asbestos as HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT HAP Strict enforcement measures against asbestos removal and disposal works by USEPA and ILO 15-60 years for first symptoms to develop If inhaled ONCE asbestos fibres will cause asbestosis
- 21. Exposure1 US Federal Government Agency Recommendations on Exposure Limits • On July 12, 1989, EPA established a ban on new uses of asbestos • NIOSH has recommended that 0.1 Fiber/cubic centimeter (fiber >5µm long) /400 liter is carcinogen.
- 22. Exposure2 1-Air Inhalation at home or workplace workplace air environment 0.5 fiber/cm3 Asbestos is classified as carcinogenic by WHO
- 23. Exposure 3 2-Water WHO studies have not shown link between cancer and swallowing Debate if asbestos fibers present in potable water Does / Does Not present hazard
- 24. Exposure 4 Permissible ExposureLimits (PELs) No exposure limit in homes and offices
- 25. Exposure 5 Time-Weighted Average(TWA) 0.1 of asbestos fibers/1 cm3 of air in 8 hours of exposure Short term Excursion Limit 0.10.1 of asbestos fibers/1 cm3 of air in 30 minutes average of exposure
- 26. Exposure 6 • Miners of asbestos • Shipyard workers • Power plant workers • Brake lining workers • Pipe fitters • Insulators • Boiler makers and repairers • Maintenance workers • Workers in the production of fire bricks, fire-retardants paints, asbestos cement, and other asbestos-containing products

- 29. Asbestos Diseases 2 Asbestosis • Scarring of lung tissue reducing ability to take oxygen. • Dose related disease ;repeated regular exposures. • Debilitating disease and can be fatal. • Latency period 10-20 years
- 30. Asbestos Diseases 3 Lung Cancer • Asbestos fibers are breathed in, and trapped in lungs. • Levels of fibers in lung tissue build up over time • Cause lung cancer after years of exposure. • Lung cancer is usually fatal. • Latency period 20 years
- 31. Asbestos Diseases 4 Mesothelioma • Rare but deadliest • Cancer of pleural lining of lung/peritoneal lining of chest cavity. • Not dose related • Even single exposure may cause disease. • Even people who have only indirect contact with asbestos get it, • Also called “bystander’s” disease. • Latency period 20 to 30years .
- 32. Asbestos Diseases 5 Medicine ?! • No cure for Asbestos related diseases • Is there a safe exposure? • No exposure to asbestos is a ”safe exposure”. • Something that can neither be seen, smelled, felt and long time later that can kill you is something to think about seriously. • Be SAFE. Be PROTECTED • Create Asbestos free environment.
- 33. Asbestos Ban1 Protocol No.162 , 1986 in ILO’s 92nd Ban of asbestos in any shape or form Resolution concerning Asbestos ILO General Conference 2006 Asbestos including chrysotile, are classified as known human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer

- 60. Safe Disposal inDouble Lined Landfill
- 62.
- 63. General Concerns • Concernsabout asbestos removal or dumping activities • Implementing governmental circular instructions • Asbestos phase-out plans • Safe removal and disposal of asbestos material by qualified licensed contractors with hi-level of expertise and professionalism • Apply high engineering standards when dealing with asbestos
- 64. Special Concerns Destruction ofinfrastructure release of asbestos. Bombs/missiles asbestos fibers are freed/inhaled with dust. Apartment and office buildings in Lebanon use asbestos for heat insulation. Most buildings erected or restored post-war Western companies have been forced to pay tens of billions of dollars to ex- employees who worked with asbestos. EIA by MOE
- 65. Study on incidenceof pleural mesothelioma and its relationship with the occupational and environmental exposure to asbestos in Chekka region 1991-2000, 22 cases of malignant mesothelioma were diagnosed at Hôtel-Dieu de France Hospital. The relationship between pleural mesothelioma and a construciton company with the related occupational and environmental risk in Chekka region is obvious. The assessment of the incidence needs a national cancer registry. Despite the protective measures taken by the government since 1996, an increase in the incidence is suspected in the coming ten years because of the long latency period of the disease.
- 66. Results • Fifteen among these 18 patients (83%) had a positive exposure history • Occupational exposure in 11 cases • Bystander exposure in 4 cases. • The tumor was attributable to Company X in 12 cases among the exposed 15 (80%). • Mean latency period between exposition and diagnosis was 29 years. • 15 patients died from the progression of their disease after a median survival of 8 months.
