RISK ESTIMATION AND AIR SAMPLING AT NOA SITES

HERNANDEZ, Daniel W., San Jose, CA 95125, danh@toxichem.com

This presentation will describe methods used by the presenter to estimate offsite migration of asbestos during earthwork activities. The presenter will describe a case study that will include estimating asbestos emissions from grading equipment (as stationary and moving sources) and dispersion modeling of offsite consequences. In addition, recent results from a large project that required daily perimeter and exposure monitoring will also be described.
