The asbestos real time detector by Alert is due to be launched next year. Whilst the technology looks exciting the company appear to be targeting it at the likes of plumbers and electricians. Unless I am missing the point the unit detects airborne fibres – asbestos doesn’t tend to be airborne unless it is disturbed – if a tradesmen is using it to detect airborne fibres then presumably they are the ones that have disturbed the asbestos!
Shouldn’t the market be restricted to removal companies and consultancies?
