| Project Background

In today's society, with the continuous improvement of people's awareness of health and environmental protection, the detection and control of harmful substances have increasingly become the focus of attention in all walks of life.

Asbestos, recognized as a harmful substance by the international medical community, poses a potential threat to human health that cannot be ignored. Long-term exposure to asbestos can lead to chronic respiratory diseases and even cause serious malignant tumors such as lung cancer, mesothelioma of the pleura and peritoneum. Therefore, carrying out asbestos detection work is of great significance for safeguarding public health and maintaining environmental safety.

| Hazards of Asbestos and Necessity of Its Testing

Due to its excellent fire resistance, heat insulation and electrical insulation properties, asbestos was once widely used in multiple fields. However, with the in-depth development of scientific research, the hazards of asbestos have gradually been revealed. Asbestos fibers are tiny and tough. Once released into the air, they are easily inhaled by the human body and deposited in the lungs. Long-term accumulation can cause serious health problems. Therefore, testing materials and products that may contain asbestos is a key measure to prevent asbestos hazards and protect public health.

| Testing Range

a. Fire-fighting equipment such as fire blankets/overalls/gloves;

b. Insulation and heat-insulating materials for the protective layers of high-temperature equipment;

c. Heat insulation for the protective layers of high-temperature pipes such as exhaust pipes/steam pipes;

d. Insulation materials for floors, boards, sprayed insulated walls and ceilings;

e. Insulation materials for electrical equipment (such as cables, circuit breakers and fuses);

f. Gaskets for equipment and pipes, wear-resistant materials for braking systems;

g. Gland packing, concrete for passive fire protection systems, etc.

| Testing Item

Asbestos content in the air, asbestos content in materials, asbestos content in mixtures, asbestos detection in other fields, etc.
