1 Evaluation of Potential Take Home Exposure during Laundering Activities: A Simulation Study of Airborne Chrysotile Concentrations Associated with Handling Clothing Exposed to Known Levels of Airborne Asbestos 1 C H R I S T Y B A R L O W P H D S E P T E M B E R
2 Definition: Take-home Asbestos Exposure 2 Exposures that might occur by laundering the clothes of or living with someone who works with asbestos products
3 Background: Take Home Asbestos Exposure Potential Studies have evaluated the potential for disease associated with reported take home asbestos exposures, but few have attempted to measure take home exposures None have compared take home exposures with the relative magnitude of occupational exposure The few existing exposure studies measured airborne asbestos in PCM, which counts all fibers rather than just asbestos fibers 3
4 Study Objectives Evaluate potential asbestos exposure for individuals who handle asbestos-contaminated clothing, (i.e., take home or para-occupational exposure) 4 Compare occupational (loading) concentrations with take home (handling/shake-out) concentrations
5 Summary of the Study Sampling was conducted on site at RJ Lee Laboratories in Pittsburgh, PA, June 12 to 17, 2011 Used a test chamber with a HEPA ventilation system Clothing was exposed to various concentrations of airborne chrysotile asbestos Following exposure, the clothing was shaken and manipulated to simulate laundry activities 5
6 Study Overview: Loading 6 24 Corner Dust Generator/Center 6 Corner 24 For the loading events, grade 7T chrysotile asbestos concentrations in the chamber were adjusted to achieve the following targets: Low (0-1 f/cc), 6 Medium (1-3 f/cc) Corner airflow HEPA Air Filtration Device (AFD) 24 Corner Airlock High (3-5 f/cc)

11 Airborne Concentration (TEM) (f/cc) Comparison: Loading and Handling/Shake- Out Concentrations by Event For all paired events, the handling/shake-out concentration was a small fraction of loading concentration Handling/shake-out concentrations below both OSHA EL (1 f/cc) and 8-hr TWA (0.1 f/cc) TEM Concentration during loading (f/cc) TEM Concentration during shake -out (f/cc) OSHA PEL (30-MIN EXCURSION) OSHA PEL (8-HR TWA) ND ND Low #1 Low #2 Medium #1 ND Medium #2 High #1 Paired Concentration Measurments for Each Event (Corresonding Loading/Shake-out Concentrations) High #2
