Abstract
An assessment has been made of the amount of asbestos dust in the respirable size range present in typical situations where the principal types of asbestos-based building materials have been used. More than 60 buildings of various types have been included in the survey. In over 90 per cent of the locations sampled, the asbestos dust concentrations present in the atmosphere of the completed buildings do not exceed one-tenth of the level regarded as acceptable for occupational exposure. More than 40 per cent of the concentrations are of the same order as the level in buildings where no asbestos has been used.
