CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Torino.
AperTO è l'archivio istituzionale Open Access destinato a raccogliere, rendere visibile e conservare la produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Torino.
EnglishIn many urban and natural areas, the presence of naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) requires a geological risk evaluation to enforce safety and exposure monitoring during the achievement of surface and subsurface infrastructures. A set up of proper procedures must provide: (i) a detailed geological model of the possible presence of the asbestos, (ii) a representative sampling, (iii) a correct analytical approach, and (iv) a working procedure that can be efficiently applied during excavation activities. At present, the EU regulations for a safety work in asbestos-bearing materials are still not exhaustive because of the great complexity of the matter and uncertainties in geological risk definition. This paper presents two case studies where the different involved parties (scientific community, environmental agencies, and private companies) jointly contributed to find technical solutions for a correct risk management of excavations in asbestos-bearing rocks as well as reliable analytical procedures for quantitative determination of the fibre content.

| Abstract: | In many urban and natural areas, the presence of naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) requires a geological risk evaluation to enforce safety and exposure monitoring during the achievement of surface and subsurface infrastructures. A set up of proper procedures must provide: (i) a detailed geological model of the possible presence of the asbestos, (ii) a representative sampling, (iii) a correct analytical approach, and (iv) a working procedure that can be efficiently applied during excavation activities. At present, the EU regulations for a safety work in asbestos-bearing materials are still not exhaustive because of the great complexity of the matter and uncertainties in geological risk definition. This paper presents two case studies where the different involved parties (scientific community, environmental agencies, and private companies) jointly contributed to find technical solutions for a correct risk management of excavations in asbestos-bearing rocks as well as reliable analytical procedures for quantitative determination of the fibre content. | |
