An EPA Region VII inspection manual for assessing friable asbestos-containing material in school and other buildings. It describes fiber release mechanisms (fallout, impact, resuspension), inspection Evaluation Forms #1 and #2, and an eight-factor numerical scoring algorithm. It also states that the NIOSH air-monitoring method was unsuitable for buildings, and that the algorithm did not always match long-term air sampling data.
