Unveiling the Dangers of Asbestos

Asbestos, a hazardous naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral once celebrated for its versatility and fire-resistant properties, is now recognised as a silent killer. While it was widely used in construction and other industries for decades, the health hazards associated with asbestos exposure have become a cause for concern. However, it is crucial to remember that asbestos can be managed safely when in expert hands, like The Crew Asbestos Removal Team.

The Dangers Of Asbestos

Asbestos poses severe health risks due to its microscopic fibres, which can easily become airborne when disturbed. Inhalation or ingestion of these fibres can lead to life-threatening diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. What makes asbestos even more dangerous is the latency period of these diseases, which can take anywhere from 10 to 50 years to manifest, leaving victims unaware of the damage until it’s too late.

Friable and Non-Friable Asbestos

Asbestos can be classified as either friable or non-friable. Friable asbestos is easily crumbled, releasing harmful fibres into the air, while non-friable asbestos is more tightly bound, making it less likely to release fibres unless disturbed. Both types can be hazardous, and any suspected asbestos-containing material should be treated with utmost caution.

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.
