Asbestos Testing

It is vital that you ensure the air you breathe is free from asbestos fibers. This is very important in schools, workplaces, and public places. Contact our experts at VS ONE Corporation and they will help you with your problem.

Dangers of Asbestos

Asbestos is harmful to you if it is present in the air in the form of small fibers. When you breathe in air with asbestos fibers present, the fibers enter your lungs. Once asbestos fibers get stuck in your lungs or other parts of your body, they can cause various health problems.

Health problems caused by inhaling or swallowing asbestos fibers can include asbestosis, a chronic lung disease. Exposure to asbestos can also cause mesothelioma, a rare type of cancer that occurs in the lining of the lungs.

Asbestos Testing

There are methods to detect asbestos in the air and materials, such as soil. These methods use optical and electronic microscopes for analysis.

Our Asbestos Testing Service Includes:

PCM

Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM):

You can test materials in their natural state with PCM. Sometimes, you cannot see certain objects under a normal light microscope. By using a phase contrast microscope, you can see these objects due to the contrast created between the objects and the environment. Therefore, you can use PCM to find many types of asbestos fibers.

TEM

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM):

The Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) method of asbestos testing uses an electron microscope. It can show objects that are extremely small, too small to see with the naked eye, or even an optical microscope.

SEM

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM):

With the SEM method of asbestos testing, an examiner uses the electron microscope to scan the surface of the test material. It can send a beam of electrons to interact with the surface. The scanning helps detect asbestos through its interactions.

PLM

Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM):

With the PLM method of asbestos testing, the examiner uses a polarized light microscope to achieve a high degree of sensitivity, detecting the radiation that is reflected by the sample.
