Asbestos center to use KU proposal
The Midwest asbestos training center to be built in the Kansas City area by the Environmental Protection Agency will use a University of Kansas proposal to teach more contractors to use proper asbestos techniques, the regional EPA asbestos coordinator said yesterday.
The Kansas City, Mo. EPA office has received many complaints that contractors have endangered more people by carelessly removing asbestos that they had had they left the hazardous material in place, said Wolfgang Brandon, the coordinator.
center. The two officials made the announcement at an afternoon ceremony in Marvin Hill yesterday.
Asbestos causes asbestosis, a chronic lung inflammation, and possibly cancer, Brandner said. Asbestos is commonly used in pipe covering, boiler insulation and fireproofing materials.
Brandner and Morris Kay, regional director of EPA Region 7, began the investigation by the EPA had selected the University of Kansas' proposal for the training
DETAILS FOR THE center, including the exact location of the center and the transfer of a $25,000 EPA grant to KU to finance the project, have yet to be worked out, Kay said.
Kay said KU's proposal was selected because the University was centrally located and because the several schools within the University
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said KU's proposal included research and information from the schools of architecture and urban design, engineering, law, medicine College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The center's training program will be the only hands-on program in the country. Brandner said. Contractors will be able to practice asbestos removal at the center instead of on the job, he said.
KAY SAID ANOTHER training center would be built in the Boston area. The one at Georgia Technical Institute will continue to operate, he said.
Brandner said the program would train contractors to use the three basic guidelines for safe asbestos removal. Many contractors are not following the guidelines, he said.
Brandner said two types of contractors would be trained in the program — those who renovate things and those who tear them down.
The three guidelines are: protecting workers from asbestos, wetting the material before removal to prevent exposure to the air and isolating the work area.
WALLACE MAY, ASSOCIATE dean of the division of continuing education, said that by October 1985 the training center also would sponsor seminars for insurance professionals and health professionals to teach them about the effects of asbestos contamination.
May said the center eventually would offer asbestos education
The spraying of asbestos is prohibited nationally. Brandner said. It also has been banned in spackling compound - used for repairing plaster - and in materials that produce colored flames in fireplaces.
