The Risk of Asbestos

Asbestos is a highly hazardous material that poses serious risks to human health. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can cause respiratory problems like lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These diseases often have long latency periods, meaning it can take many years for symptoms to appear.

Asbestos was widely used in the construction industry until the 1990s, so many buildings in the UK still contain asbestos-containing materials. These materials can become a danger when they are disturbed or damaged, releasing asbestos fibers into the air. This is why it is essential to have any suspected asbestos-containing materials removed by a professional asbestos removal company.

Asbestos-Containing Materials

Asbestos-containing materials can be found in many parts of a building, including roofs, walls, pipes, ceilings, and flooring. Some of the most common asbestos-containing materials include:

• Asbestos cement
• Asbestos insulation board
• Asbestos lagging
• Asbestos sprayed coatings
• Asbestos textured coatings
• Asbestos floor tiles

If you are unsure whether any materials in your building contain asbestos, the first step is to have an asbestos survey conducted by a professional asbestos removal company. The survey will identify any asbestos-containing materials and provide recommendations for their removal or management.

The Importance of Asbestos Removal

Asbestos removal is crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy environment for building occupants. Asbestos-containing materials can release fibers into the air when they are disturbed, damaged, or deteriorated. These fibers can be inhaled and cause serious health problems. Asbestos removal also protects you from potential legal liabilities, as it is a legal requirement to manage asbestos in buildings.
