PB85222982

Publication Date	1982
Page Count	156
Abstract	In recent years, asbestos has been identified as a cancer inducing agent at what has been termed 'low level' exposure. The concern coupled with the presence of friable asbestos and a potential for exposure has led officials throughout New Jersey to undertake numerous, extensive, and costly asbestos removal projects at schools, as well as public and private buildings. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection along with the Department of Health realized the need for safe, efficient, and economical methods of asbestos removal. This need is also well recognized by various agencies at the Federal level. A grant was issued through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Center for Disease Control, to perform experimental asbestos removal projects utilizing a commercial vacuum system. The program was to involve both wet and dry removal. The resulting sampling data, analytical data, technical and economic evaluations are presented, in detail, in the report.
