  6. How To Detect This Killer Material? Different examination methods have been performed to test the nearness of the substance, and that test method may be largely used depending on the type of matrix being analyzed.

This test is regularly performed at asbestos abatement sites and can be applied for clearance testing, personnel monitoring, and environmental checking, for minor abatement projects.
