Levels of airborne asbestos for 6 Colorado public school facilities with sprayed-on asbestos materials were documented using 3 analytical techniques. Phase contrast microscopy showed levels up to the thousandths of a fiber/cm3 (f/cc), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) up to the hundredths of a f/cc and transmission electron microscopy coupled to selected area electron diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (TEM-SAED-EDXA) up to the tenths of an asbestos f/cc. Phase contrast microscopy was an inadequate analytical technique for documenting the levels of airborne asbestos fibers in the schools; only large fibers which were not embedded in the filter were counted, and asbestos fibers were not distinguished from nonasbestos.
