Asbestos: The Dangers

Asbestos is a mineral fiber that was widely used in construction materials, such as insulation, ceiling tiles, roofing, and more, due to its fire-resistant properties. Asbestos has since been found to pose serious health risks, such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

The dangers of asbestos arise when the fibers are inhaled. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, such as during renovation or demolition work, the fibers can be released into the air and inhaled. These fibers can accumulate in the lungs over time, leading to serious health problems.

Asbestos Testing: When is it necessary?

Asbestos testing may be necessary if you are planning any renovation or demolition work in a property built before the year 2000. This is because asbestos was widely used in construction materials before this time. Even if you are not planning any work, it may be wise to have your property tested for asbestos to ensure that it is safe for occupancy.
