Abstract:: ... The efforts of many municipalities to demolish abandoned residential dwellings (ARDs) are hampered by the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in these structures. However, the extent of such materials is unknown. Our study sought to characterize ACMs present in ARDs demolished in Detroit.Working with the City of Detroit, we obtained information on all ARDs demolished from 2014 to 2017 ...

Abstract:: ... Concentrations of total suspended particulate matter, particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm (PM₂.₅), particulate matter <10 μm (PM₁₀), and fallout dust were measured at the Iranian Gol-E-Gohar Mining and Industrial Facility. Samples were characterized in terms of mineralogy, morphology, and oxidative potential. Results show that indoor samples exceeded the 24-h PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀ mass c ...
