Category | No. of subsamples positive and No. of subsamples tested | Quantitation of asbestos (structures/gram) | Percentage of asbestos in product | (%) | Asbestos concentration, ppm |
---|---|---|---|---|
Toy make-up kit | 1 of 3* | 4.33 and 4.67 million amphibole asbestos ‡ | 0.0004-0.0005 | 4.3-4.6 |
Eye shadow palette #1 | 5 of 25 † | 2.25 to 3.57 million amphibole asbestos § | 0.0002-0.0004 | 2.2-3.5 |
Eye shadow palette #2 | 18 of 45 † | 1.49 to 3.86 million amphibole asbestos § | 0.0001-0.0004 | 1.5-3.8 |
Three of 8 total powder-based eye-shadow colors were tested in a multi-product make-up kit.
Twenty-five of 63 and 45 of 120 of total powder-based eye-shadow colors were tested from palettes #1 and #2, respectively.
Two sub-samples from the 1 asbestos-containing eye-shadow color were quantitated.
A maximum and minimum was reported from quantitation of 3 separate asbestos-containing colors.
Parts per million and percentage calculations based on assuming average fiber dimensions of length of 5 µm, width of 0.25 µm, and the specific gravity of tremolite (3.15).
