An Extra Blog As Promised To Show #Asbestos as I have never seen it before at Brunel University

I visited Brunel University in Uxbridge to meet Dr Ashley Hawkin and the team and watched a demonstration of the process of analysing and counting Asbestos fibres with an atomic spectro microscope. Using this technique you can prove the presence of absence of Asbestos contaminate that can not be seen using the usual equipment.

There was a great image on the screen

We looked at asbestos fibres that they were saying were 0.07 of a micron all so very scientific.

Then a tour of the whole building.

Ashley is so proud of his work and he has allowed me to share some of the photos  which is so kind of him.
