Review of the U.S. Navy's exposure standard for manufactured vitreous fibers /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Manufactured vitreous fibers (MVF), also known as synthetic vitreous fibers, are generally considered to be less hazardous than asbestos to human health. They are used in a variety of thermal- and acoustical-insulation applications, frequently as an asbestos substitute or as a filtration medium. The...
