Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in construction, insulation, and other products in the past. However, it was discovered that exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to various health complications, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Therefore, in 1999, the UK government banned the use and import of most asbestos-containing products. However, many older buildings still contain asbestos, making it a risk for contractors, homeowners, and occupants. When asbestos is disturbed, it releases microscopic fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems.

That is why proper disposal of asbestos waste is paramount to avoid health and environmental hazards. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we follow strict guidelines and regulations to ensure that asbestos waste is dealt with safely and effectively.
