Asbestos Spill Delineation
When structural materials have been disturbed or damaged and then found to contain asbestos, how far asbestos containing dust is spread needs to be answered. This asbestos dust is hazardous to your health.
What are the Health Risks of Asbestos Exposure?
Asbestos materials in their “normal installed state” are ok, but when the materials are disturbed to a point of becoming pulverized, microscopic asbestos fibers can be released and will likely go airborne. Asbestos remediation must be performed to make the space safe.
Once airborne, you can breathe them in where they can get lodged in your lungs. Breathing in asbestos can cause lung damage, mesothelioma, and cancer.
X factor:
The X factor is the human body. There is no specific exposure length or level that can be used as a baseline for everyone. Every person’s body responds to asbestos, like any other substance, uniquely. Therefore, while exposure to asbestos can cause any number of symptoms, it is best to consult your physician if you suspect you have been exposed.
What you should know about Asbestos
Asbestos is a group of fibrous minerals that were mined and have been widely used in a variety of products.
Because asbestos is heat and fire resistant, it was used in many types of building materials and home products for years.
Examples of products include attic and wall insulation, roofing shingles, hot water pipes coated with asbestos, heat-resistant fabrics, linoleum, dry wall, dry wall mud/texture, popcorn ceiling texture etc.
