Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorial corrections were made throughout in October 2018.1. Scope1.1 There are multiple purposes for determining the

3、loadingof asbestos in dust on surfaces. Each particular purpose mayrequire unique sampling strategies, analytical methods, andprocedures for data interpretation. Procedures are provided tofacilitate application of available methods for determiningasbestos surface loadings and/or asbestos loadings in

It is anticipated that additional areas will be added inthe future. It is not intended that the discussion of oneapplication should limit use of the methods in other

5、 areas.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
