Asbestos is a special kind of carcinogen. It consists of minerals with a very elongated shape, varying in width from a few nanometers to a few microns, and with a complex atomic structure and chemistry.
Directive (EU) 2023/2668 aims to strengthen airborne asbestos detection measures.
It is therefore imperative to be able to identify all asbestos particles and distinguish them from all their interferents. This requires a precise definition of the measurand and an analytical technique capable of chemically and physically characterizing particles on the nanometer scale.
Maxime misseri
Researcher on the identification and detection of asbestos and, more specifically, Naturally occuring Asbestos.
In 2013, he co-founded AD-LAB, a pioneering laboratory specializing in the characterization of natural occuring asbestos (NOA). Since 2015, he has been an associate researcher in the TIMR department at UTC (Alliance Sorbonne University), and this has been his main activity since his retirement.
