Translation of "Künstliche mineralfasern" in English

Throughout the world, artificial mineral fibres are among the most wide ly used insulating materials.

Artificial mineral fibers are excellently suited for the thermal insula-tion of buildings.

Especially dust containing quartz, mineral fibre, wood, cellulose and asbestos are dangerous.

Among the offenders are tobacco smoke, indoor-generated particulate matter, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide (which indicates poor ventilation), as well as nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, allergens (from dust mites, pets and cockroaches), mould, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), man-made mineral fibres, naphthalene and radon.

Artificial mineral fibres were found in rooms H106 to H114 (see the evaluation report (in German only)).

These include asbestos, artificial mineral wool, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) or wood preservatives contained in building materials.

As pollutant to call asbestos, artificial mineral fibres, is here e.g. wood preservative, pesticides, solvent, oils, softeners.

We guarantee the professional dismantling and disposal of building pollutants, such as asbestos, artificial mineral fibers (KMF), PAH-containing seals or cardboard, mold removal, any biological decontamination (pigeon droppings)

The hazards of fibre dusts have become known from asbestos-related problems, but other artificial mineral fibres (AMFs) such as glass wool, slag wool, high-temperature wool or mineral wool — depending on their composition — also release fibres which are considered as risk factors for lung cancer.

Materials that are hazardous to people’s health include, among others: asbestos, man-made mineral fibers (MMF), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), heavy metals, wood preservatives such as pentachlorophenol/Lindane (PCP), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and volatile contaminants such as formaldehyde.

Most materials, e.g. man-made mineral fibers, but also insulation based on vegetable fibers, more or less drastically loose their insulation properties as their moisture content grows.

It was also below the benchmark value for artificial mineral fibres in indoor environments, which is 1,000 fibres per cubic metre.

Mineral wool is a material made from artificially produced mineral fibres.

This rubble includes large amounts of artificial mineral fibers.

There are often several alternatives for a product containing asbestos and, in some cases, some alternatives are natural products (often vegetable-based) rather than the synthetic mineral fibres which are often the focus of discussion about asbestos substitutes.

This method describes a procedure to measure the Length Weighted Geometric Mean Diameter (LWGMD) of bulk Man Made Mineral Fibres (MMMF).

However, since it considered that the assessment criteria in Directive 97/69 did not provide a sufficient level of protection, the German Government notified the Commission on 11 December 1998 of its intention to introduce national provisions which were more stringent than those provided for in Directive 97/69 as regards the classification and labelling of manmade mineral fibres (hereinafter 'MMF') (hereinafter 'the contested provisions').

As fibre fleeces serving as separation and transport matrix, there are preferably used those consisting of an inert, non-absorbent fibre material, preferably of glass fibres, synthetic resin fibres or other synthetic or natural mineral fibres.

Also in the case of man-made mineral fibres, the Hazardous Substances Committee has laid down a permissible exposure limit for workplace air.
