Indoor release of asbestiform fibers from naturally contaminated water and related health risk.

Abstract:

:This study investigates the occurrence of airborne asbestiform fibers released in indoor ambient due to the use of asbestos naturally contaminated water. Some experiments employed a laboratory physical model using an ultrasonic humidifier charged with contaminated groundwater. Other experiments were carried out at full scale to assess the release of asbestiform fibers during showering. Obtained results show that the concentration of the airborne asbestiform fibers released in the bathroom during showering is higher than the limit value set by the European and Italian Regulations, while the concentration of fibers released by the humidifier is much lower. However, it is noteworthy that the use of the humidifier at high exposure time results in similar health risk. Strong correlations were found between the concentration of the airborne asbestiform fibers and a novel surrogate parameter (i.e. the exposure-specific-water-consumption). These correlations can be used to monitor the asbestiform fibers concentration at varying operating conditions and therefore, to control the resulting health risk.
