Asbestos is a mineral that was widely used in building materials in the 1950s to 1980s. These materials include insulation, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, roof sheets, and other construction materials. Asbestos was popular due to its insulating, soundproofing and fire resistance properties. Unfortunately, asbestos exposure can cause severe health conditions such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Asbestos fibers, when inhaled, can cause permanent damage to the lungs, leading to significant health risks. Asbestos fibers are entirely invisible to the naked eye, making it hard to detect potential asbestos hazards by oneself. This is why its essential to enlist the services of a professional asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex.
