| | | | | | | | | | | |
by hand pressure or easily mechanically into a dust/powder when dry
| | | | | | | | | | |
, Is Floor Tile friable or non-friable under normal conditions - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-No (not friable) | |

How can one determine if a building material contains asbestos - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-A bulk sample must be collected and submitted to a lab for analysis
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
by polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis. A material that is equal to or greater
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
than 1% asbestos by weight is positive for asbestos
| | | | | | | | |
What is the name of the lab test used for bulk sample analysis - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) this method tells the % (amount) | | | | | | | | | |
asbestos content and the type/form present in the sample
| | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
| | | | | | | |
According to the regulations, who is authorized to perform the lab tests indicated
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
in H & I - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An accredited lab
| | | | | | | |
According to EPA and OSHA, asbestos containing materials contains how much
| | | | | | | | | | |
asbestos by weight - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Greater than 1% asbestos by weight
