Asbestos Terminology
You should be able to find several indispensable facts about
asbestos in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one
fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might
make.
Many things have been said about asbestos, but also many times
we do not know nor understand the definitions of some
terminology related to it. For that reason we have gather some
of the most common words used when we speak about asbestos.
Is everything making sense so far? If not, I'm sure that with
just a little more reading, all the facts will fall into place.
Here you are:
Abatement: This is method that has been accepted with the
intention of handle materials that contain asbestos (i.e.,
enclosure, removal, and encapsulation).
Asbestos Building Survey: By this survey, it is possible to
recognize, estimate and measure the ACM in a certain location
(i.e. building, factory).
Asbestos Encapsulation: This means the act of cover a material
that contains asbestos. This can be done whether by penetrating
an encapsulating agent or by covering the contaminated object
with a material impregnated with an agent which was previously
latex encapsulated.
Asbestos Enclosure: When we talk about asbestos enclosure we are
making reference to the act of physically enclosure those
materials contaminated with asbestos right on the place where
this material was found. The enclosure is made by placing a hard
permanent barrier. One thing to be considered to be enclosed in
case that the walls are not pulled down, are the insulates
straight up heating risers that are located at the back of
outside perimeter walls.
Asbestos Containing Material: (by NYCDEP) A material is
considered asbestos containing when it contains 1% o greater
asbestos according to laboratory tests.
Asbestos Removal Project : This means the objective elimination
of materials contaminated with asbestos. Just a certified
service provider who employs skilled and authorized personnel
who follows the applicable regulations, can do this. If you've
picked some pointers about asbestos that you can put into
action, then by all means, do so. You won't really be able to
gain any benefits from your new knowledge if you don't use it.
