摘要：
Both airborne asbestos and non-asbestos fiber concentrations were evaluated in Korean non-occupational environments. The airborne fiber concentrations were analyzed in 96 air samples, from 48 different points, by transmission electron microscopy, with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The geometric means of the airborne asbestos and non-asbestos fiber concentrations were 0.62 and 67.86, and 0.30 and 17.47 fibers/liter in urban and rural areas, respectively. There were significant differences in both the airborne asbestos and non-asbestos fiber concentrations between the urban and rural areas (p < 0.05). The geometric means of airborne asbestos and non-asbestos fiber concentrations were 0.67 and 37.93, and 0.27 and 30.67 fibers/liter at the points less than 10 m and more than 30 m away from highways, respectively. The airborne asbestos concentrations were significantly higher at the points less than 10 m away than at the points more than 30 m away from highways (p < 0.01).
