Abstract
Asbestos is widely applied in such sectors as manufacturing automobiles, tractors, chemical industrial equipment, and electric equipment. Asbestos fiber is harmful to human health. Therefore, the technology of testing for asbestos in products is especially important. At present, in our country’s national specifications, there is no determination method or specification that is applicable to the asbestos in electronic and electric products. In this article, the components of asbestos in electronic and electric products are identified using the method of combining polarizing microscope with X-ray diffractometer. This method is simple, fast, highly reliable, and suitable to be widely adopted.

Summary
Asbestos is a generic term for natural fibrous silicon-based minerals, which are generally divided into the two major categories of chrysotile and amphibole asbestos, and are extensively applied, more importantly in such sectors as manufacturing automobiles, tractors, chemical industrial equipment, and electric equipment [1]. As scientific research has indicated, asbestos fiber has a harmful effect on human health. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has announced that asbestos is a Class A carcinogen.
