Product Meta

This test identifies and quantifies asbestos fibers in various materials, such as building materials, soil, and air samples. Asbestos, a known health hazard, can cause severe respiratory diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. This testing is essential for assessing asbestos presence to meet industry standards, ensure environmental safety, and comply with regulatory requirements. By accurately identifying asbestos content, this test supports safer demolition, renovation, and environmental management practices.
