Hazardous Substance: Asbestos

Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Exposure to asbestos fibers can occur when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, releasing microscopic fibers into the air that can be inhaled or ingested.

Asbestos was commonly used in building materials such as insulation, flooring, roof tiles, and pipes prior to the 1990s. If your property was built before this time, it is important to have it checked for asbestos and to safely remove it if necessary.
