The building stock of the Seinäjoki growth years
Seinäjoki grew rapidly during the 1960s-1980s, and in the apartment blocks and terraced houses of that era asbestos most typically appears in the adhesive under floor tiles, in the substrate of vinyl flooring and in bathroom waterproofing membranes. The extensive stock of detached houses dates from the same period, so the same materials recur in detached houses as well.
How small a sample is enough
A piece about a centimetre across is enough for the analysis. The sample does not have to be large, and a smaller piece also means less dust when detaching it. More important than size is that the sample includes the whole suspect layer and not just the surface.
