The health risks caused by damaged asbestos are so high that it has a disease, asbestosis, named after it. Asbestosis is a type of pulmonary fibrosis, where high levels of exposure to asbestos fibers ...

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has long been the gold standard for detecting asbestos fibers in air samples drawn at construction sites. But researchers have found that a cheaper, less ...

Create an evidence base for the use of biotechnology in asbestos testing Develop a protein within a bacterial protein library that can be used to bind asbestos Asbestos is a toxic substance that is ...

Liquid cell electron microscopy has emerged as a transformative method that enables the in situ imaging of dynamic processes within liquid environments. This technique overcomes the traditional ...

With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

For decades, a laboratory procedure known as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to test for asbestos in samples taken at construction sites. In 1989, the U.S. Environmental ...
