The Danger of Asbestos Tape in Your Home or Building

Asbestos tape was a common product used for building insulation, strengthening insulation or for fire resistance, but it was banned in the 1980s because of its dangerous effects on human health. Asbestos tape is a type of hazardous material that requires removal by specially trained contractors.

If you have an old home or building, chances are that it contains asbestos, which could be in the form of insulation, pipes, ceiling, floor or even in the tape used for joints. Asbestos tape is made of mineral fiber, and asbestos mineral fibers are positively identified as a cause of diseases like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. When inhaled, asbestos fibers can lodge in the lungs and cause damage that may not be immediately evident, but can lead to significant health problems in the future.

The Risks of DIY Asbestos Tape Removal

Asbestos tape is dangerous when disturbed or mishandled. Attempting to remove asbestos tape yourself can have serious health consequences if not done properly. Removing asbestos tape involves creating dust, which can cause asbestos fibers to become airborne, leading to inhalation and lung damage.

Without the proper protective equipment, you and your family members are at risk of exposure to asbestos fibers, which can cause fatal health conditions. Also, the asbestos tape may not be the only hazardous material in your home or building. Some asbestos products are mixed with other hazardous materials, and attempting to remove them without professional guidance can lead to further contamination of the air, land, and water.
