Automotive Engines: Theory and Servicing, 6/e By James D Halderman © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 THE DANGERS OF EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS Asbestos exposure can cause scar tissue to form in the lungs. This condition is called asbestosis. It gradually causes increasing shortness of breath, and the scarring to the lungs is permanent.

Automotive Engines: Theory and Servicing, 6/e By James D Halderman © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 ASBESTOS OSHA STANDARDS The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established three levels of asbestos exposure. –Any vehicle service establishment that does either brake or clutch work must limit employee exposure to asbestos to less than 0.2 fibers per cubic centimeter (cc) as determined by an air sample.

Automotive Engines: Theory and Servicing, 6/e By James D Halderman © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 ASBESTOS EPA REGULATIONS The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established procedures for the removal and disposal of asbestos. –The EPA procedures require that products containing asbestos be “wetted” to prevent the asbestos fibers from becoming airborne.

Automotive Engines: Theory and Servicing, 6/e By James D Halderman © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 ASBESTOS HANDLING GUIDELINES The air in the shop area can be tested by a testing laboratory, but this can be expensive. Tests have determined that asbestos levels can easily be kept below the recommended levels by using a solvent or a special vacuum. –HEPA Vacuum –Solvent Spray –Disposal of Brake Dust and Brake Shoes
