Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that can cause a range of serious health problems when inhaled, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) may not pose any immediate danger if they are in good condition and not disrupted. However, if they are damaged or disturbed, they can release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems.

Asbestos exposure does not always cause immediate health problems. The negative effects of asbestos exposure can take years or even decades to become apparent. If you suspect that your property contains asbestos, it is essential to contact a professional asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire to identify and remove any ACMs safely.
