what are the 2 types of asbestos containing materials
Friable
non- friable
what is a characteristic of friable asbestos material
can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
what are examples of friable asbestos material
Acoustic Insulation
Pipe Lagging
gasket material used in high temperature applications.
what examples of non friable asbestos material
Brake and clutch linings
Floor tiles and adhesives
Gaskets
Asbestos insulation or other asbestos-containing materials in good condition are generally not a health hazard when
properly secured and unlikely to be disturbed
Bound asbestos materials, such as gaskets, floor coverings, and cements are not generally a health hazard unless
work activities destroy their matrix.
what are specific work activities that disturb make up of asbestos material
Punching
Machining
Grinding
Sanding
loosely bound fibers are pulverized or easily crumbled creating microscopic contaminants that have been identified as a health hazard is called
Normal deterioration
what are the diseases resulting from asbestos exposure
Malignant Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma
asbestosis
what is the types of lung cancer
Malignant mesothelioma
what are characteristics of malignant mesothelioma
Tumor which lines the chest and abdominal cavity
possibly causes cancer in the GI tract
who is mesothelioma found in
rarely found except in those expose to asbestos after 10-45 years
asbestos combined with what drastically increases the rick of developing lung cancer
smoking
what is asbestosis
progressively worsening disease of the lung
recognized as disabling or even fatal occupation disease
the ships force protocol are responsible for
Repair and removal of materials that contain non-friable asbestos containing
material.
all navy ships have what type of asbestos
non friable
