An enclosed space that is used for airflow. Example: the area above a drop ceiling.

What is plenum space?




formation of scar tissue in the lungs

What is fibrosis?




Cancer that arises from the mesothelial cells of the pleura is caused by asbestos fibers

What is mesothelioma?




Asbestosis is a condition developed in the lungs as a result of inhalation of asbestosis
fibers.

What is Asbestosis

,Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act

What is AHERA?

The correlation between exposure to asbestos and disease (i.e. cumulative effect of
high exposure and short duration or chronic exposure over longer duration)

What is the dose-response relationship with asbestos and cancer?

Asbestosis

What is the most common asbestos related disease?

Interpret Chest X-rays

What can a B-reader do?

Bridging encapsulation

What type of encapsulation forms a "hard shell" or membrane over the surface?

Penetrating encapsulation

What type encapsulation does not leave a discreet surface layer?

The type of encapsulation that forms a hard shell on the outside of asbestos-containing
material is called a (n):


(ex. If used on soil it would form a hard layer over the soil that would break if disturbed)

Bridging Encapsulant

The type of encapsulant that is absorbed into the asbestos matrix, and binds the
components together. (n):

x2 False.

Non-friable Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) is considered

hazardous. Through Mechanical (power tools) means during removal.

Non-friable asbestos can become friable.

An EPA ID is not required with non-friable asbestos waste. However proper

x2 documentation is still required. x2 x2 x2




Non-friable asbestos waste require a DOT manifest.

False. Although, it can be hauled with general demolition debris the receiving waste
x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2
