Применение в дорожном строительстве материалов, содержащих минеральные волокна, требует рассмотрения вопроса о риске загрязнения ими воздуха.</p><p>Цель исследования — оценка возможности загрязнения воздуха волокнами асбеста при эксплуатации дорожных покрытий, содержащих хризотиловый асбест.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Отобрано 9 проб воздуха, 3 пробы пыли и 1 проба асфальтового покрытия на автомобильной трассе.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Концентрация волокон асбеста в воздухе оказалась ниже предела обнаружения, равного ≤ 0,0001 в/мл. Фактически при исследовании всех 9 проб воздуха не обнаружено ни одного волокна асбеста. В 3 пробах пыли обнаружено два конгломерата и один пучок волокон хризотилового асбеста, которые, вероятнее всего, входили в состав дорожного покрытия. В пробе асфальтового покрытия большая часть волокон находилась в связанном состоянии – как единый конгломерат с другими частицами. Содержание волокон асбеста в пробах пыли составило менее 0,1%, а размеры конгломератов не подходили под определение респирабельных волокон.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. На момент проведения исследования возле автомобильной дороги не выявлено загрязнения атмосферного воздуха свободными волокнами хризотилового асбеста; средняя за всё время отбора проб концентрация, как и концентрации в каждой из отобранных проб, была ниже предела обнаружения метода и составила ≤ 0,0001 в/мл, тем самым не превысив нормативных показателей, предусмотренных как в Российской Федерации (СанПиН 1.2.3685-21 «Гигиенические нормативы и требования к обеспечению безопасности и (или) безвредности для человека факторов среды обитания». Утверждены постановлением Главного санитарного врача РФ от 28.01.2021 г. № 2), так и в Германии (TRGS 519 «Asbestos. Demolition, reconstruction or maintenance work». Issued by January 2014). Данное исследование является одномоментным скрининговым исследованием. Для оценки возможности загрязнения воздуха волокнами асбеста на всём жизненном цикле дорожного покрытия, изготовленного с использованием стабилизирующих асбестсодержащих добавок (от производства до утилизации), требуются дополнительные исследования.</p></sec><sec><title>Ограничения исследования</title><p>Ограничения исследования. Оценку загрязнения воздуха волокнами асбеста проводили только на одном этапе жизненного цикла (от производства до утилизации) дорожного покрытия — этапе эксплуатации. Не выполняли полную оценку загрязнения воздуха на автомобильных трассах всеми видами взвешенных частиц: учитывали только волокна асбеста и другие волокнистые частицы.</p></sec><sec><title>Участие авторов</title><p>Участие авторов: </p></sec><sec><title>Цхомария И</title><p>Цхомария И.М. — концепция и дизайн исследования, сбор материала и данных литературы, статистический анализ, написание текста, ответственность за целостность всех частей статьи;</p></sec><sec><title>Ковалевский Е</title><p>Ковалевский Е.В. — концепция и дизайн исследования, сбор материала и обработка данных, редактирование, утверждение окончательного варианта статьи, ответственность за целостность всех частей статьи.</p></sec><sec><title>Конфликт интересов</title><p>Конфликт интересов.

Using materials containing mineral fibres in road construction requires consideration of the risk of air pollution by fibrous particles.</p><p>The purpose of the study was to assess the possibility of air pollution by asbestos fibres during the operation of road surfaces containing chrysotile asbestos.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and Methods</title><p>Materials and Methods. Nine air samples, three dust samples and one asphalt pavement sample were taken on the federal highway.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The concentration of asbestos fibres in the air was below the detection limit of ≤ 0.0001 f/ml. When all nine air samples were examined, no asbestos fibres were found. Two agglomerates and one bundle of chrysotile asbestos fibres were found in all three dust samples, which were most likely a part of the road surface. Most fibres were bound with other particles in a single agglomerate in the asphalt sample. The content of asbestos fibres in all three dust samples was less than 0.1%, and the size of the conglomerates did not fit the definition of “respirable fibres”.</p></sec><sec><title>Limitations</title><p>Limitations. 1) the assessment of air pollution by asbestos fibres was carried out only at one stage (operation) of the pavement life cycle (from production to disposal); 2) a complete assessment of air pollution on highways by all types of particulate particles was not carried out (only asbestos fibres and other fibrous particles were taken into account).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. At the time of the study, no atmospheric air pollution by free chrysotile asbestos fibres was detected near the highway; the average concentration for the entire time of sampling, as well as the concentrations in each of the samples, was below the detection limit of the method and amounted to ≤0.0001 f/ml, thereby not exceeding the regulatory indicators provided for both in Russia (Sanitary rules and standards 1.2.3685-21 from 28.01.21) and in Germany (TRGS 519). This study is a single-stage screening study. More research is needed to assess the possibility of air pollution by asbestos fibres throughout the entire life cycle of road surfaces constructed using asbestos-containing stabilizing additives (from production to disposal).</p></sec><sec><title>Contribution</title><p>Contribution:</p></sec><sec><title>Tskhomariia I</title><p>Tskhomariia I.M. — the concept and design of the study, collection of literature data, the collection and processing of the material, statistical analysis, writing a text, responsibility for the integrity of all parts of the article;</p></sec><sec><title>Kovalevskiy E</title><p>Kovalevskiy E.V. — the concept and design of the study, the collection and processing of the material, editing, approval of the final version of the article, responsibility for the integrity of all parts of the article </p></sec><sec><title>Conflict of interest</title><p>Conflict of interest.
