[Content of asbestos fibers in water sources of the Bazhenovo deposit].

Kashanskiĭ Sv, Bogdanov Gb, Slyshkina Tv

Abstract

The paper provides preliminary measurements of asbestos levels in water sources from an area of the Bazhenovo chrysotile-asbestos deposit. All study water samples have been found to contain chrysotile-asbestos fibers at concentrations one-three orders less that the values standardized in the USA (7 x 10(6) vol/l). The authors consider it advisable to continue studies to measure asbestos levels in the water sources in the areas in vicinity of other Russian deposits.
