Asbestos disposal is critical in preventing the health risks associated with asbestos exposure. The material is known to cause several health conditions, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory illnesses. When asbestos products are disturbed or damaged, they release fibers into the air, which pose a risk of inhalation. Long-term exposure to asbestos fibers can cause significant health problems that have no cure.

It is imperative to dispose of asbestos materials properly to avoid endangering public health. Asbestos-containing materials are classified as hazardous waste and require professional handling and disposal under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Asbestos disposal requires specialized equipment and personnel to ensure the safe handling and disposal of the material without releasing fibers into the air. Failure to dispose of asbestos-containing materials properly can lead to legal liabilities and health risks to your family, employees, or the public.
