Understanding Asbestos Sampling

Asbestos is a group of six naturally occurring fibrous minerals, each with distinct properties and health risks. The three most commonly found types in buildings are chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite. Proper identification using techniques such as polarised light microscopy (PLM) is essential for effective asbestos management.

The Importance of UKAS Accredited Laboratories

Choosing a United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited laboratory ensures that asbestos sampling and analysis are conducted following the highest standards. Certificates from these labs are recognised nationally, providing assurance of the accuracy and reliability of the results.
