“…Numerous studies have been published on the airborne concentrations associated with asbestos abatement [2,3,9,18,22,23,[32][33][34][35]. Reports on exposure concentration values provide contractors, consultants, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, epidemiologists and building owners with information on historical and, in part, objective data that may be associated with different types of abatement activities [35].…”

“…Reports on exposure concentration values provide contractors, consultants, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, epidemiologists and building owners with information on historical and, in part, objective data that may be associated with different types of abatement activities [35]. Such information is relevant for planning control measures and selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) for initial abatement operations [35]. Many of these studies provide data on either area (stationary) or personal measurements with a limited Lange number of investigations providing both [35][36][37].…”

“…This type of distribution is quite common in both biological and nonbiological applications, such as trace elements in human samples (10,(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57), organic substances in human samples (58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68) and other substances in natural ecosystems (69)(70)(71)(72)(73)(74)(75)(76). Since boron, lithium and strontium might not be under strict homeostatic control, they are largely excreted into the urine and the excretion rate of these trace elements directly depends on their concentrations.…”
