Construction year and the probability of asbestos
Samples arriving from South Ostrobothnia are mainly 1960s-1980s residential materials. The ISO 22262-1 standard guides the work, and the identification instrument is a JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope. Asbestos was used most widely in Finnish construction in exactly those decades, that is during the Seinäjoki growth years. The construction year still tells you only about probability - certainty comes from the analysis alone.
What the result means
A positive result requires asbestos removal work by an authorised contractor, in a detached house and in a do-it-yourself renovation too. A negative result is a written document that can be attached to the renovation paperwork. The result always concerns exactly the material the sample was taken from.
