What is asbestos air monitoring?
Asbestos air monitoring measures the amount of respirable asbestos fibres in the air. These fibres can cause very serious health concerns and air monitoring helps to measure the exposure levels for those who are in or around the property area.
Asbestos air monitoring not only measures your potential exposure to asbestos fibres but can also show the effectiveness of the control measures that are in place during your asbestos removal works.
As part of our asbestos air monitoring process in Sydney, we analyse all samples in our NATA accredited lab to accurately provide you with results.
When is asbestos air monitoring required?
Air monitoring for asbestos is legally required in a number of situations, including:
- The removal of friable asbestos;
- The removal of asbestos is being carried out indoors; or
- If the asbestos removal works could impact others, such as neighbours or sensitive receptors.
It’s an important part of home and building renovations and remodelling when asbestos containing materials are on the property. Air monitoring can also be conducted when there has been a recent disturbance of asbestos materials on a site too.
Types of asbestos air monitoring available in Sydney
Background Air Monitoring:
This type of air monitoring is to conduct an air quality check or to set a baseline of airborne asbestos fibres. This may be used in situations where asbestos has been discovered and you would like to know the effect of the asbestos on the air quality of the site or home.
Control Air Monitoring
Control air monitoring is carried out during the actual asbestos removal process to ensure that the controls that are in place during the removal works are actually effective. This kind of monitoring is required when asbestos removal is occurring indoors, could affect others, or the type of asbestos being removed is friable.
Clearance Air Monitoring
This type of air monitoring is conducted after the asbestos removal has taken place and in the place where asbestos removal has occurred. This type of removal is a legal obligation for any friable asbestos removal works and indicates whether an area is safe to reoccupy.
Personal Exposure Air Monitoring
This type of air monitoring usually occurs for people who work in places where they are likely to be exposed to asbestos or asbestos containing materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the benefits of asbestos air monitoring?
While asbestos air monitoring will help you to be compliant with NSW asbestos legislation, fundamentally the biggest benefit is being able to protect your health and the health of anyone who enters your property or workplace. Air monitoring can give you peace of mind that you or anyone on the property hasn’t been exposed to asbestos.
-
Can I do my own asbestos air monitoring test?
No. Asbestos air monitoring needs to be performed by an occupational hygienist or specialist who has undergone significant training. Air monitoring requires the use of a lot of technical equipment and usually an accredited lab will need to test samples of air from the monitoring process. Air monitoring is also often conducted to be able to provide a site with a clearance certificate to say that the site is free from asbestos materials and these certificates can only be provided by an independent and licensed asbestos assessor.
-
What are the dangers of airborne asbestos particles?
Airborne asbestos can be inhaled and end up lodged in the lung tissue of a person. As the airborne fibres are very small, it can be difficult for the body to expel them, which can lead to health complications, including asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer.
