Active Plasma Chamber: Status and Perspectives
Motivations for designing an active plasma chamber focusing on reducing plasma losses and enhancing charge state distribution. Details about the general features of the chamber, including its construction and segmentation. The inner active chamber made of aluminum elements for improved efficiency. Benefits such as real-time monitoring of plasma losses and enhanced operation with lower pressure and RF power. Future perspectives and progress updates discussed at the PANDORA progress meeting.

1 Background of Research According to the World Health Organization; All types of asbestos cause lung cancers. For example Asbestosis and Mesothelioma are the most commoncancers. Source:-http://www.who.int/ipcs/assessment/public_health/asbestos/en/-cited 2018/2/6 3
1 Background of Research 1.1 Asbestos banned nations around theworld According to the International Ban Asbestos Secretariat; Asbestos is banned in 55 countries worldwide. However, it has not been banned in China, Russia, India, Canada and theUnited States. Asbestos banned nations 4 Source http://www.asbestosnation.org/facts/asbestos-bans-around-the-world/-cited 2018/02/06
1 Background of Research 1.2 Asbestos limiting policy decisions in SriLanka 1987 Blue Asbestos (Crocidolite)banned Government decided to limit theWhite Asbestos( Chrysotile) and promote substitutes from 2018-01-01 2016 Government changed the above decision and emphasis more study to limit the WhiteAsbestos. 2017 Source :-http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.lk/ 5

2 Research Question How can Sri Lankan government implement a long lasting national policy to limit Asbestosin construction industry, while supporting the country s economy, national health, and selecting alternative roofing materials? 8
3 Objectives of the Research To identify clustering pattern of roofing materials use in Sri Lanka. To observe spatial and temporal variation of roofing materials in the country. To propose suitable measures to government to reduce Asbestos and identify alternative materials. 9
4 Data Collection Primary Data Production quantity and Electricity consumption data from three clay tile factories and two Zinc Aluminum factories. Secondary Data Department of Census and Statistics Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka Customs data. Academic Journals, publications, etc.. 10

8 Discussion Asbestos hot spots are concentrated in developed areas in 2001 (Colombo and Kandy). NewAsbestos hot spots have been forming in the Northern section of the country. Clay tile hot spots are concentrated in Southern and North-Western parts of the country in 2001. A new Clay tile hot spot has been formed in the South-Eastern section, and hot spot in the North-Western section hasexpanded. Zinc Aluminum hot spots are formed in the central part ofthe country in 2012. 18
9 Future Work Identify Socio-economic factors for roofing materials usage based on the Hot spot analysis. Calculation of Global Warming Potential (GWP), Acidification Potential (AP) and Health Impact Potential (HIP). Policy study for reducing asbestos usage. 19
