These diagnostics for the presence of asbestos and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) are essential to determine the working conditions of individuals on the construction site during operations, ensuring their safety. Additionally, it helps determine whether asphalt milling can be partially recycled.
Asbestos was used in asphalt until the mid-1990s to enhance road durability. While it is harmless when enclosed within the infrastructure, it poses health risks to those involved in construction work. Therefore, since 2013, these analyses have been mandatory before undertaking any type of construction work.
