Dutch term or phrase: kleefmonster
Still the accident report. **Kleefmonsters** are taken for analysis to determine the levels of asbestos present. What type of a sample would that be?

Thank you in advance.

adhesive sample
Explanation:
I think this a kind of sticky tape used in on-site / field sampling where the presence of asbestos in some concentration or other is suspected. The asbestos sample is trapped on the adhesive layer, and can subjected to subsequent laboratory testing.
