- next to the nearest wall
- close to the area being removed
12. Which of the following statements is correct?
1
- The greater the exposure to asbestos, the greater the risk of asbestos diseases.
- Asbestos is only dangerous if you smoke.

- wet
- friable
16. Wetting asbestos before removal:
1
- makes the asbestos less toxic
- helps keep the worker cooler
- reduces the amount of airborne asbestos
- makes the material easier to remove
17. Air sampling is conducted to
