Airborne Contaminants Science


glassfiber, asbestos fiber, mineral fiber, airborne fiber, cancer, clean air, air filtration, cancer, medical application.

There are many different kinds of airborne contaminants. Many are inert materials that harm animals due to their size. A smoke particle may block an airway while a fine mineral fiber may penetrate a pore in skin. Other airborne contaminants may include bacteria or viruses. This site will only be concerned with fibers as airborne contaminants.
