Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials from the 1950s until the 1980s. It was prized for its durability, strength, and fire-resistant properties. However, exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems.

When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, tiny fibers are released into the air. If these fibers are inhaled, they can become trapped in the lungs and other tissues in the body. Over time, this can lead to scarring and inflammation, which can cause long-term health effects.

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, including:

• Insulation
• Ceiling tiles
• Floor tiles
• Textured coatings
• Roofing materials
• Pipes and ducts

If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it's important to have it tested as soon as possible. That's where Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire comes in.
