Answer to Question 1

Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). The eight-hour time-weighted average (TWA) for exposure to airborne asbestos is 0.1 f/cc. In addition, exposure to airborne asbestos, must not exceed 1 f/cc as averaged over a 30 minute sampling period (the Short-Term Exposure Limit or STEL).

Answer to Question 2
