| Abstract | This article deals with the procedures for safe removal of asbestos and products containing asbestos during the improvement of constructions. Asbestos fibres, as fine powder (fibres longer than 5 micro m and with a ration length : thickness > 3 : 1), are on the list of substances, which undoubtedly cause different diseases, such as asbestosis (specific form of pneumoconiosis), mesothelioma, cancer of bronchia, lungs and stomach. Among the most important factors causing cancerous diseases undoubtedly belong, besides the above mentioned definition of the respired powder, the quantity of fibres in the air (fibres/cm3 and fibres/m3), as well as the time of exposure. In principle, the rule is probability for the disease. Most safety measures, which deal with the areas of asbestos removal and asbestos products, are devoted to reducing the above mentioned risks. | |
| Summary | Prispevek obravnava postopke pri varnem odstranjevanju azbesta oz. proizvodov, ki vsebujejo azbest, pri sanaciji gradbenih objektov. Azbestna vlakna kot fini prah (vlakna, daljša of 5 mikro m in z razmerjem dolžina : debelina > 3 : 1) so na seznamu snovi, ki nedvoumno povzročajo različna obolenja, kot so azbestoza (specifična oblika pnevmokonioze), mezoteliom, rak bronhijev, pljuč in želodca. Med najvažnejše faktorje za pojav karcinogenih obolenj poleg že omenjene definicije za respirabilni prah nedvomno spadajo še količina vlaken v zraku (vl/cm3, oz. vl/m3) ter čas izpostavljenosti. Načeloma velja pravilo: čim nižje so koncentracije in čim krajši je čas izpostavljenosti, tem manjša je verjetnost pojava obolenj. Večina varnostnih ukrepov, ki obravnavajo področja odstranjevanja azbesta in azbestnih izdelkov, je posvečena zmanjševanju omenjenih. tveganj. | |
