Crocidolite Limpet Asbestos Cross-Section
Close-up, cross-section view of CROCIDOLITE-based sprayed "Limpet" asbestos fireproofing sample, by Keasbey & Mattison Company (K&M) of Ambler, Pennsylvania, US.
The vintage containerized sample consists of approx. 65% crocidolite (also known as "blue asbestos") amphibole asbestos; explaining why the material appears blue-grey in color.
Imagine the airborne fiber concentrations of crocidolite on construction worksites when this material was being sprayed at high-velocity and in large quantities.
