Abstract

We conducted validation for asbestos quality control (QC) samples made by the developed method which was presented in our published paper. The main results of the validation study are as follows. The pooled coefficient variations of analytical results in three different concentrations (low, medium, and high concentration) for amosite and chrysotile were less than 20 %, which met the sample homogenicity criteria of NIOSH. Also we confirmed the homogenicity of asbestos samples by using the relocatable field slide. To evaluate the field applicability of the developed asbestos QC samples, the field validation was performed with four proficient asbestos analysts by using the statistical methods of AIHA asbestos PAT program. All analytical results from four asbestos analysts were located in the acceptable range.
