Monitoring Asbestos Pressure Within the Enclosure

This information from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) focused on the monitoring of aire flow patterns and pressure at sites where asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are present. Exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.

After the initial air flow patterns have been checked, the static pressure must be monitored within the enclosure. Monitoring may be made using manometers, pressure gauges, or combinations of these devices. It is recommended that they be attached to alarms and strip chart recorders at points identified by the design engineer.
