Currently in Ukraine the evaluation of dusty workplaces at enterprises using asbestos is based on the weighted method (depending on the content of asbestos, PLC is 2 mg/m3 —10 mg/m3), whereas in the countries of European Union it is based on counting the number of asbestos fibers. As the hygienic standard for chrysotile-asbestos for the working zone air proposed PLC - 0.6 f/ml.
Key words: chrysotile-asbestos, regulation, working zone air
