Asbestos Materials Testing

Asbestos materials testing includes vinyl floor tiles, pipe wrap insulation, and ceiling tiles. Materials also include linoleum flooring, adhesives and mastics, caulking, roofing, shingles, plasters. and troweled-on cement materials. All samples are analyzed at a NY State accredited laboratory using the polarized light microscope and transmission electron microscope.

Our asbestos inspections include a site specific report summarizing the locations, quantities, and conditions of any asbestos containing materials present. Our reports are emailed to clients a few days after we receive the lab reports. Lab reports are available within a few days of our sampling.

Please call/email if you would like to discuss or schedule asbestos materials testing.

Asbestos Air Testing

To evaluate levels of asbestos fibers in the air, a vacuum air pump and tripod are set up in the testing location. Approximately 1200 liters of air are drawn through a 0.80 micron PVC filter cassette to capture any fibers in the air.

The sample is then analyzed at a NYS accredited laboratory using a phase contrast light microscope to determine the number of fibers on the filter inside the cassette.The laboratory may use a transmission electron microscope to confirm the presence of asbestos fibers.

To calculate the concentration of fibers, divide the number of fibers present by the volume (cubic meters) of air drawn through the cassette during the air sampling period. 

Air testing for asbestos fibers should be considered whenever the incidental disturbance of asbestos-containing materials occurs or after asbestos abatement work.

Please call Angstrom Testing Services if you would like to discuss asbestos air sampling.

They were awesome! They really exert the effort to make sure the mold inspection is done correctly. I wanted to test the air on a condo that we were purchasing (because it had a strong damp smell when you walked in). Thanks, Angstrom Team for helping me in time.

Angstrom tested the water at each of the sinks in our daycare center for lead. They helped us get our license from the New York City Department of Health. They arrived on time and got the job done without any hassles and provided all the paperwork that I needed. Thanks again!
