Fiber Dust Emissions on Dumps and Their Assessment

Contaminated Soil ’88

  • 13 Accesses

Abstract

Dumps are potential emittents for very different particulates. The atmospheric environment of dumps can be also contaminated by release of carcinogenic asbestos fibers, because sprayed asbestos, asbestos cement refuse from sanitation and demolition of buildings is very often storaged here. As an example, ambient air concentrations of fibrous dusts were measured on two typical dumps in Germany. The obtained data are presented and their evaluations are discussed.
