The Whittier Narrows, California Earthquake of October 1, 1987—Asbestos Hazards in Post-Earthquake Investigations
View through CrossRef
Asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) can pose a significant hazard to design professionals and scientists engaged in post-earthquake building investigations. This paper discusses hazards of asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) susceptible to damage by seismic activity. Investigators must be aware of the potential for exposure to asbestos and other hazardous materials and how to protect themselves.
