Asbestos
The Microscopy Center carries out morphological and microanalytical analyzes for the search for asbestos fibers in bulk and airborne materials.
The Center participated in the pilot program for the quality control system for laboratories that carry out analyzes on asbestos using scanning electron microscopy coordinated by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità as part of the programs provided by the Ministry of Health - Prevention Department (DM 14/05/96).
The Center has demonstrated that it possesses the requisites required by the DM both for the quality of the analysis carried out and for the response times.
Since January 2020 the Center has been in the Ministry of Health's list of laboratories qualified in the Abruzzo Region to carry out analyzes on asbestos pursuant to Ministerial Decree 14/05/96 within the " 2018-2019 Qualification Program of Asbestos Laboratories ", both for the SEM and for the Phase Contrast Optical Microscope (MOCF).
