5.1 Users of this practice must determine for themselves whether the practices described meet the requirements of local or national authorities regulating asbestos or other fibrous hazards.
5.2 Variations of this practice have been described by the Asbestos Research Council in Great Britain (8), the Asbestos International Association (AIA) (RTM 1) (9), NIOSH 7400, OSHA (Reference Method ID8201;160), and ISO8201;8672. Where the counting rules of these methods differ, this is noted in the text.
5.3.1 The technique is specific for fibers. PCM is a fiber counting technique that excludes non-fibrous particles from the analysis.
5.3.2 The technique is inexpensive, but requires specialized knowledge to carry out the analysis for total fiber counts, at least in so far as the analyst is often required under regulations to have taken a specific training course (for example, NIOSH 582, or equivalent).
5.4.1 The main limitation of PCM is that fibers are not identified. All fibers within the specified dimensional range are counted. Differential fiber counting may sometimes be used to discriminate between asbestos fibers and fibers of obviously different morphology, such as cellulose and glass fiber. In most situations, differential fiber counting cannot be used to adequately differentiate asbestos from non-asbestos fibers for purposes of compliance with regulations without additional positive identification. If positive identification of asbestos is required, this must be performed by polarized light or electron microscopy techniques, using a different portion of the filter.
测试时使空气通过试验衣料,将空气中含有的发尘粒子捕到试验用的滤膜上,用400倍显微镜观察并统计尘埃粒子数。读出滤膜上面的0.5-5以及5以上的粒子个数。在滤膜上面印有3.08mm的格子,可以读出一个格子内的粒子数。(2)ASTM-F-51修订法(计数法)使空气通过试验衣料,用粒子计数器测定发尘粒子的大小和个数。...
