Asbestos: What is it and why is it dangerous?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral made up of microscopic fibers. It was widely used in construction materials, such as insulation, ceiling tiles, and floor tiles, due to its durability and heat resistance.

The danger with asbestos lies in the fact that when its fibers are disturbed, they can be inhaled, and over time, they can accumulate in the lungs. This can lead to several serious health issues, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos waste: How should it be disposed of?

Asbestos waste should be disposed of in a specially designated hazardous waste disposal site. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) enforce strict rules and guidelines on how asbestos should be handled, transported, and disposed of. Asbestos waste should be double-bagged in heavy-duty plastic bags or wrapped in thick plastic, clearly labeled as asbestos waste, and transported by a licensed waste carrier to a licensed disposal site.

It is illegal to dispose of asbestos in regular household waste bins or to take it to a landfill site. If asbestos waste is found in general waste collections or at a landfill site, it will be rejected, and the person responsible may face legal action.
