Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used in a variety of applications due to its unique properties, such as strength, heat resistance, and insulation. However, it has been linked to various health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, and is considered an environmental hazard. As such, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set regulations for the removal and disposal of asbestos. In this landing page, we will focus on how to remove asbestos from water in Sussex, and how Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex can help you.
Asbestos can be found in various materials, including cement products, pipes, and insulation. Asbestos cement water tanks were commonly used in the UK until the 1980s. Although asbestos in drinking water is not a significant health risk, its presence can be a concern for public health as asbestos fibers can become airborne during the water treatment process. In addition, if the fibers are ingested over a long period, they may cause health problems. Therefore, the EPA has set a drinking water standard of 7 million fibers per liter (MFL) for fibers longer than 10 microns, and 10 MFL for fibers longer than 5 microns.
The removal of asbestos from water requires a specialist, as it is a hazardous material that requires specialized equipment and procedures to remove safely. Asbestos fibers are resistant to chemicals and heat, making them difficult to remove. Asbestos removal can also be dangerous to human health as inhaling asbestos fibers can cause serious lung diseases. By using a reputable and experienced asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, you can reduce your risk of exposure to asbestos fibers and ensure that the removal process complies with the EPA regulations.
