DETERMINATION OF FIBRES
Asbestos can be present as contamination in soil where asbestos
containing-material has been exposed during a longer time period, or
where asbestos has been released by friction and then mixed with soil.

Parameter
actinolite chrysotile
amosite crocydolite
anthophyllite
Minimum sample amount:

optical microscopy
Chrysotile, amosite and crocydolite asbestos can be distinguished; however,
anthophyllite cannot be so easily separated from tremolite and actinolite.
