L’air-⁠Q peut-il mesurer l’amiante ?

Asbestos refers to fibrous silicate minerals whose fibers have a diameter of two micrometers or greater. It has the property of breaking down longitudinally into increasingly smaller fibers when fractured. Because of its low density, asbestos is carried through the air and can be inhaled.

The air-⁠Q fine particulate matter sensor can partially detect asbestos as a fine particulate, since the sensor can detect particles 1 µm and larger. However, asbestos cannot be distinguished from “normal” fine particulate matter. As a result, the extremely carcinogenic danger posed by asbestos can only be partially reflected. A high level of fine particles is always bad. Unfortunately, the air-⁠Q cannot determine whether the particles are asbestos.
