Determination Method of Asbestos in Electrical and Electronic Products by using a Scanning Electron Microscope with a X-Ray Diffraction

Abstract

Asbestos is a proven carcinogen. It can able to exist in fibrous form, and be suspended in atmosphere and water for weeks or months, it constantly causing pollution on a large scale. Therefore, the technology of testing for asbestos in products is particularly important, receiving great attention. In this paper, the method of using a scanning electron microscope with a X-ray diffraction is used to identify the asbestos, and this method is simple, reliable and suitable to be widely applied.
