COURSE OUTLINE & SYLLABUS
This is the NIOSH 582 course: “Sampling and Quantitating Airborne Asbestos Dust”.
The NIOSH 7400 method is detailed, including means for QA/QC procedures.
At the conclusion of the course, students are able to: properly calibrate and use the sampling equipment; align and calibrate the microscope and apply the NIOSH 7400 protocols; prepare samples for analysis; and apply the procedures for collection and quantitation of ambient dust samples.
Practical field-related problems are discussed.
There is no prerequisite.
