Characterization of Asbestos Construction Products at Naval Shore Facilities
The potential health hazards to personnel from exposure to airborne asbestos fiber and the wide variety of asbestos-containing products used at Navy facilities prompted the Naval Facilities Engineering Command to task the Civil Engineering Laboratory to develop an inventory of and to characterize asbestos-containing construction materials. Two categories of asbestos-containing construction materials have been identified as potential asbestos fiber releasing threats: friable insulating products and woven products and nonfriable matrix-bonded composite products. This document takes a general and overall look at asbestos-related health concerns, asbestos fiber characteristics and applications, bulk material/analysis, suitable substitutes, and regulations applicable to asbestos exposure.
