Self-Monitoring of Asbestos?
I live in apartment complex that is 3 buildings, five stories each and altogether about 160 apartments. All the tenants have just been notified that all the trash rooms (one on every floor), maintenance rooms (one on every floor) and storage rooms (unidentified number) all have asbestos tile floors that are going to be removed, starting in two days (3/14). I am not going to take at face-value that the contractor will make no mistakes on this huge project or cut any corners, so I am going to put glass microscope slides in all the halls, one at each end and one in the center.
My question is two-fold: Which medium should I use on the slides to collect particulates (in this case, asbestos) and should I place the slides as low as possible or up high. (I am not sure if the asbestos would settle or rise). I am going to view the slides under a microscope and contact the D.E.P. if I see any asbestos.
The problem is that even if you found asbestos, it would mean nothing. You would not have an airborne concentration (what is regulated), it may have been in the hall the whole time from other sources, and my guess is you are not certified for asbestos testing. If you put a microscope slide in a hallway, it will be covered in all kinds of fibers at the end of a week. What you really need is to discuss with management or the contractor and ensure they are going to be taking proper airborne samples outside the area. These sample results will be much more meaningful and they should offer you the results.
From experience, unless the contractor is totally incompetent, there is really no risk from a floor tile job. If you really want to double check them, you really need to hire a professional to take air samples while the work is being conducted. As to high or low, low is better since asbestos is heavier than air.
