What is Title 8 CCR 5208 and 29 CFR 1910.1001? - Answer -General Industry
What is plenum space? - Answer -An enclosed space that is used for airflow. Example:
the area above a drop ceiling.
What is fibrosis? - Answer -formation of scar tissue in the lungs
What is mesothelioma? - Answer -Cancer that arises from the mesothelial cells of the
pleura is caused by asbestos fibers
What is Asbestosis - Answer -Asbestosis is a condition developed in the lungs as a
result of inhalation of asbestosis fibers.
What is AHERA? - Answer -Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act
What is the dose-response relationship with asbestos and cancer? - Answer -The
correlation between exposure to asbestos and disease (i.e. cumulative effect of high
exposure and short duration or chronic exposure over longer duration)
What is the most common asbestos related disease? - Answer -Asbestosis
What can a B-reader do? - Answer -Interpret Chest X-rays
What type of encapsulation forms a "hard shell" or membrane over the surface? -
Answer -Bridging encapsulation
What type encapsulation does not leave a discreet surface layer? - Answer -Penetrating
encapsulation
Bridging Encapsulant - Answer -The type of encapsulation that forms a hard shell on the
outside of asbestos-containing material is called a (n):
(ex. If used on soil it would form a hard layer over the soil that would break if disturbed)
,Penetrating Encapsulant - Answer -The type of encapsulant that is absorbed into the
asbestos matrix, and binds the components together. (n):
(ex. If used on soil it would be absorbed and then form a lump of hardened material)
How far does penetrating encapsulant penetrate? - Answer -13mm (1/2 inch)
Removal Encapsulant - Answer -Penetrating encapsulant specifically designed to
minimize fiber release during removal of asbestos-containing materials rather than for
encapsulation.
Encapsulate - Answer -A liquid material which can be applied to asbestos-containing
material which controls the possible release of asbestos fibers from the material either
by creating a membrane over the surface (Bridging encapsulant)
or by penetrating into the material and binding it's components together (Penetrating
encapsulant)
what is ACBM? - Answer -Asbestos Containing Building Material (interior and >1%)
What is ACCM? - Answer -Asbestos Containing Construction Material (>0.1%; greater
than one-tenth of one percent by weight)
This is defined by Cal-OSHA
ACCM must be verified by at least... - Answer -400 point count
When a school has friable asbestos they...? - Answer -Must implement an Asbestos
Management Plan with yearly notification to any changes in ACM conditions
What is ACM? - Answer -Asbestos-containing material is defined as any material
containing more than 1% asbestos; >1%.
Non-friable Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) is considered hazardous. - Answer -
False.
Non-friable asbestos can become friable. - Answer -Through Mechanical (power tools)
means during removal.
Non-friable asbestos waste require a DOT manifest. - Answer -False.
An EPA ID is not required with non-friable asbestos waste. However proper
documentation is still required.
, ACCM waste requires a DOT manifest. - Answer -False. Although, it can be hauled with
general demolition debris the receiving waste facility should be notified prior to receiving
waste in order to properly secure the waste.
How long does Asbestos stay in the air? - Answer -48-72 hours to settle.
(Theoretically, it could stay airborne indefinitely as any disturbance to the airborne fiber
can cause it to rise back into the breathing zones.)
Chrysotile - Answer -White asbestos - is the most commonly used form of asbestos. It
can be found today in the roofs, ceilings, walls, and floors of homes and businesses.
Manufacturers also used chrysotile asbestos in automobile brake linings, gaskets and
boiler seals, and insulation for pipes, ducts, and appliances.
Estimated to be used in at least 80% of building materials.
Amosite asbestos - Answer -brown asbestos - was used most frequently in cement
sheets and pipe insulation. It can also be found in insulating boards, ceiling tiles, and
thermal insulation products
Crocidolite asbestos - Answer -blue asbestos - was commonly used to insulate steam
engines. It was also used in some spray-on coatings, pipe insulation, plastics, and
cement products
Anthophyllite Asbestos - Answer -was used in limited quantities for insulation products
and construction materials. It also occurs as a contaminant in chrysotile asbestos,
vermiculite, and talc. It may have a grey, dull green, or white color
Tremolite and actinolite - Answer -are not used commercially, but they can be found as
contaminants in chrysotile asbestos, vermiculite and talc. These two chemically similar
minerals can be brown, white, green, gray or transparen
What is NIOSH? - Answer -National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
EPA recommends how many samples per friable material? - Answer -9
(EPA always recommends 9 samples no matter the sample or surface area. However,
the 3,5,7 rule is a requirement for friable materials)
TEM Cartridges are? - Answer -Transmission Electron Microscope 25mm 0.45μm +
5.0μm MCE (mixed cellulose ester) filter Material; Static conductive extension cowl for
AHERA clearances
PCM cartridges are? - Answer -Phase Contrast Microscopy 25mm 0.8μm MCE (mixed
cellulose ester) filter; Static conductive extension cowl for Non-AHERA Clearances
