Asbestos Fibers in Lake Superior

Source

The discovery of high concentrations of asbestos fibers in the western arm of Lake Superior prompted the monitoring of the whole lake for fiber concentrations in order to determine the extent of transboundary movement. A description of the electron microscope technique used for fiber analysis and identification is given along with an assessment of the accuracy of the method.
