Description
You laboratory report will show concentration of asbestos fibers in air expressed in fibers per centimeter cube (ff/cc). Generally speaking, the lower concentration of fires in air, the better is quality of air in your house. The following reference numbers will help you to decide if you house requires additional cleaning:
0.010 ff/cc – maximum allowable concentration of asbestos fibers after professional asbestos removal (Ontario Asbestos Regulation)
0.040 ff/cc – maximum concentration of asbestos fibers in ambient air (ONTARIO’S AMBIENT AIR QUALITY CRITERIA, 2012)
0.100 ff/cc maximum allowable concentration of asbestos fibers during renovation or any work that may involve asbestos (Ontario Asbestos Regulation)
