Abstract

High-throughput microscopy (HTM) was developed recently for the automatic detection of airborne asbestosfibers that can cause lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma. The HTM method has been applied tocouting the airborne asbestos fibers as an alternative to the conventional phase contrast microscopy (PCM).In this paper, we demonstrated that the HTM enabled us to obtain quantitative results for low-concentrationairborne asbestos samples under detection limit, and we made a comparison between the results from HTMand PCM. In addition, a verification study was conducted using proficiency analytical testing (PAT) samplesof chrysotile and amosite. The HTM method can be applied to the existing PCM method by reducinganalysis time and labors. Potential applications can be extended to detection of asbestos fibers in soil andwater.
