Asbestos: A Hazardous Substance

Asbestos is a natural mineral that was commonly used in building materials and products, such as insulation, roofing, and brake pads, due to its heat-resistant properties. Over time, it was discovered that asbestos fibers when released to the air can cause various health problems.

When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can lodge in the lining of the lungs and cause scarring, inflammation, and, in severe cases, lung cancer, asbestosis, or mesothelioma. These diseases can take years to develop and are mostly fatal.

Therefore, it is important to handle asbestos with extreme care and dispose of it in a safe and secure way.

Asbestos Disposal and Recycling

Asbestos waste is classified as hazardous and should be handled and disposed of according to the UK regulations. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we adhere to all regulations regarding the disposal of asbestos waste.

We collect asbestos from your property and transport it to a licensed waste disposal facility for proper disposal. We use specialized containers with airtight lids to minimize any risk of fiber release. We ensure that the disposal facilities we use have the necessary permits to handle hazardous waste.

Moreover, we recycle non-hazardous materials such as cement and plastic which are embedded with asbestos. Recycling reduces waste and environmental pollution, making it an environmentally friendly way of disposing of asbestos waste.

Asbestos Hazardous Substances: What You Must Know

Any material that contains more than 0.1% asbestos is considered a hazardous substance. It is crucial to undertake an asbestos survey to determine the presence of asbestos in your property. If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is essential to hire a certified asbestos contractor to handle any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

It would be best not to dispose of asbestos with general waste like items picked up by waste bins. Asbestos should be disposed of safely and legally at a licensed asbestos disposal facility since it is classified as hazardous waste.
