Asbestos includes chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite. tremolite.
The management of such wastes remains subject to any requirements or restrictions which may be imposed by other regulatory agencies operating under separate authority. Asbestos quantitation is performed by a point-counting procedure or equivalent estimation method. Point-counting provides a determination of the area percent asbestos. Reliable conversion of area percent to percent of dry weight is not feasible unless the specific gravities and relative volumes of the materials are known. The Department certifies laboratories for bulk asbestos testing, but does not certify laboratories for air testing at this time.
