ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is described for use in asbestos removal from an enclosed space. An air inlet is formed in one of the walls of the enclosed space to permit outside air to enter the same. A filtration unit is positioned in the enclosed space and has an air inlet adapted to draw air into the filtration unit. The filtration unit has an air outlet which is in communication with the space outside of the enclosed space. A flexible conduit is connected to the air intake of the filtration unit and is in communication with the outlet end of a cylindrical trap. A flexible conduit extends from the intake end of the cylindrical trap to a collector pan which is positioned adjacent the location where the asbestos material is being removed from within the enclosed space. When the filtration unit is activated, air and the asbestos fibers are drawn into the collector pan and are delivered to the trap with the asbestos fibers being at least partially trapped by water within the cylindrical trap. The air passes from the cylindrical trap to the air filtration unit with the filtered air being delivered to the area outside of the enclosed area.
