大气中致癌石棉纤维的浓度，传统上是用相差显微镜目测测量的。然而，由于这种测量方法需要很高的技术，并且具有较差的再现性和客观性，因此自动计数方法的发展一直被期待。我们开发了Asphalt纤维自动计数系统（AFACS），并通过应用从Asphalt国际协会（AIA）获得的插图验证了其准确性。AFACS系统的主要特点是：（1）自动计数系统的计数标准符合目视计数标准。(2)整个系统的成本低，因为它是基于微计算机。
Atmospheric concentrations of carcinogenic asbestos fibers, have traditionally been measured visually using phase contrast microscopy. However, because this measurement method requires great skill, and has poor reproducibility and objectivity, the development of automatic counting methods has been long anticipated. We have developed the Asbestos Fibers Automatic Counting System (AFACS), and verified its accuracy via application to illustrations obtained from the Asbestos International Association (AIA). Important features of the AFACS system are as follows:(1) Counting criteria of the automatic counting system conform to those of visual counting.(2) The cost of the whole system is low because it is microcomputer-based.
