Say No to Asbestos

Asbestos

What Are Asbestos?

Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufacturers and builders in the late 19th century because of its sound absorption, average tensile strength, and its resistance to heat, electrical, and chemical damage. The asbestos fibers were mixed with cement or woven into fabric or mats. However, it has recently gained attention for its negative impact on the health of those exposed to it!

Dangers of Asbestos

The inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of asbestos fibers is what causes health problems; asbestos exists in the ambient air at low-levels, which itself does not cause health problems. Asbestos have been banned in certain areas around the world and laws have been enacted to prevent asbestos exposure, extraction, and the manufacturing and processing of asbestos products.

Asbestos Identification

If your home was built in the late 19th century, chances are Asbestos were used. Most commonly found in the ceiling. The term used most frequently is “popcorn ceilings.” It would be a wise decision to have your home tested by a Professional to see if Asbestos are present, and definitely consider having a home inspection done if you are planning on buying. A Licensed Inspector can tell you if you are at risk of Asbestos.
