Azbest w budynkach

Andrzej Obmiński

Praca składa się z trzech części, w których omówiono miejsca występowania wyrobów zawierających azbest w obiektach budowlanych, ocenę zagrożeń, jakie one powodują w przypadku eksploatacji i usuwania oraz praktyczne zalecenia dotyczące usuwania wyrobów zewnętrznych. Autor postawił następujące tezy w swej pracy: • Wyroby i budynki z azbestem powinny być charakteryzowane przez wielkość mierzalnego zanieczyszczenia powietrza w postaci pyłów respirabilnych azbestu, uwalnianych do wnętrza budynku. • Wyroby zwierające azbest użyte w budownictwie ogólnym są bardziej rozpowszechnione i zróżnicowane niż wynika to z raportów gromadzonych w bazie azbestowej, w której uwzględniono głównie wyroby najbardziej typowe, łatwo rozpoznawalne, znajdujące się na zewnątrz budynków (w elewacji i pokryciach dachowych). • Ocena wyrobów z azbestem, przedstawiana w formularzach „Oceny stanu i możliwości bezpiecznego użytkowania wyrobów zawierających azbest” (w skrócie „Ocena”), przygotowywana bez wiedzy eksperckiej, jest mało przydatna do realnego kwalifikowania zagrożenia użytkowników (punktacje „Oceny” i stopień pilności działań naprawczych często nie odzwierciedlają realnego zagrożenia). Wpływa to na zbyt pochopne decyzje o usunięciu wyrobów, które nierzadko prowadzone są w sposób pobieżny, bez należytego przygotowania budynku i wykonawców. • W odniesieniu do wyrobów widocznych kwalifikacje „Oceny” są uznaniowe, ich poprawność zależna jest od kompetencji wykonującego oględziny i przygotowującego formularz. W odniesieniu do wyrobów zasłoniętych, niedostępnych do oględzin, takich jak płyty azbestowo-cementowe wewnątrz ścian warstwowych, nie są one wiarygodne i wymagałyby weryfikacji przez wykonanie odkrywek lub/i badań powietrza do stwierdzenia wykluczenia obecności pyłu azbestu w powietrzu wewnętrznym. • Wyniki „Oceny” mogą znacząco odbiegać od stwierdzanego w badaniach stężenia pyłów azbestu w powietrzu, stanowiącego realne zagrożenie zdrowotne dla użytkowników obiektów. Istnieje więc potrzeba weryfikacji „Oceny” i wdrażania do stosowania wynikających z nich zaleceń – o ile są one poprawnie przygotowane i potwierdzone wynikami badań powietrza. • Zachodzi potrzeba prawidłowej oceny zagrożenia i dopasowania do niego planów eliminacji azbestu oraz zasad kontroli specjalistycznych prac usuwania azbestu z budynków.

Azerbejdżan. W krainie wiecznego ognia. Wydanie 1

Monika Pacukiewicz, Mateusz Olszowy

Azerbejdżan to największa z trzech republik Zakaukazia. Swoją, nieco egzotyczną nazwą, zaprasza do poznawania niezwykłej historii i podziwiania kaukaskich krajobrazów. Położony na pograniczu Wschodu i Zachodu, zachował bardzo wiele z dziedzictwa zamieszkujących ten obszar ludów. Azerbejdżan to zarówno pomniki muzułmańskiej przeszłości, znaczonej przez medresy, meczety, mauzolea i pałace chanów, jak i górskie monastyry przypominające o żyjących tu od wieków Ormianach. Emanacją wspomnianego Wschodu i Zachodu jest z pewnością współczesne miasto Baku - jego starówka Iczeri Szeher z górującymi nad nią wieżowcami ze szkła i stali, które na myśl przywodzą "Przedwiośnie" Stefana Żeromskiego. W Azerbejdżanie niezwykłe jest nie tylko to, co ponad ziemią - górskie krajobrazy, doliny i wodospady, ale też to, co z niej się wydobywa. To przez uciekający spod powierzchni płonący gaz ziemny kraj nazywa się do dziś krainą wiecznego ognia. Lubisz podróżować samodzielnie? Chciałbyś poznać historię, kulturę i przyrodnicze atrakcje odwiedzanych krajów, regionów i miast? Seria Bezdroża Classic powstała z myślą o Tobie! Ten przewodnik pomoże Ci zaplanować wyjazd, stanie się Twoim wiernym towarzyszem podróży i zapewni pasjonującą lekturę także po powrocie!
