Unveiling the Dangers of Asbestos

Once praised for its adaptability and fire resistance, asbestos is now known as a silent killer. Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral that is now considered extremely dangerous. Although asbestos has been used extensively in construction and other industries for many years, the health risks it poses have been determined to be quite significant. Today, asbestos exposure is a major concern. However, asbestos can be handled safely by professionals like the Crew Asbestos Removal Team.

The Dangers Of Asbestos

Asbestos contains microscopic fibres that are easily released into the atmosphere. Hence, when disturbed, it poses serious health risks. When inhaled or consumed, these fibres can cause asbestosis. If ignored, it can also cause serious illnesses like mesothelioma and lung cancer, among other fatal conditions. The latency period of these illnesses, which can range from 10 to 50 years, makes asbestos even more dangerous because victims may not realise the harm has been done until it is too late.

Friable and Non-Friable Asbestos

Trying to remove asbestos without the right tools and training can be very dangerous. DIY removal attempts run the risk of unintentionally disturbing the material, releasing fibres into the air and endangering both you and other people. Calling in professionals like The Crew Asbestos Removal Team is therefore crucial.

The Importance of Professional Removal

Attempting to remove asbestos without proper training and equipment can be a grave mistake. DIY removal efforts can inadvertently disturb the material, releasing fibres into the air and putting yourself and others at risk of exposure.

That’s why it is essential to call in experts like The Crew Asbestos Removal Team.
