Portable real-time detection of airborne asbestos fibres for tradespersons

C. J. Stopford, P. H. Kaye, E. Hirst, R.S. Greenaway, and W.R. Stanley
Annual Aerosol Science Conference 2013

Analysis of laser light scattering patterns from magnetically aligned fibres in an airflow is used to discriminate between asbestos and non-asbestos fibres in real time.  The method has been developed with the ultimate aim of providing a low-cost warning device to those likely to encounter inadvertent exposure to airborne asbestos.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
