| Abstract |
If inhaled in human body, asbestos fibers could cause serious diseases. Still asbestos-containing materials(ACM) have been much used in structures including school buildings. However, as of now, there has been no asbestos management plan for university buildings. This study, against this backdrop, seeks to analyze the status quo of asbestos application in university buildings and present effective method to dispose of ACM. To this end, the solid samples of suspicious ACM were collected from 103 building structures in the university K in Daegu Metropolitan City, South Korea for analysis herein. As a result, of the total 1,548 specimens, 401 were found to have asbestos. The ACM have four different types ? tex, bamlite, gasket and slate. Of the total 127,846.67m2 ACM, tex was found to account for 125,730.41m2 (98.3%), the largest part. According to the purpose of us, lecture buildings were found to have 50.7% share of tex areas among the total floor area of buildings, topping the list. When considering all of the factors including building usage purpose, construction year, building use ratio, asbestos area ratio, etc. it was found herein that lecture buildings, research buildings and dormitories were the first to remove ACM. |
