What’s the big deal about asbestos?
It may seem easy enough to remove the ACM yourself, but it is important to understand the risks involved. Asbestos is a proven human carcinogen. There are no safe lower limits of exposure - once you disturb asbestos it can become airborne and therefore inhaled.
Inhaling significant quantities of asbestos can cause asbestosis (scarring of lung tissue), mesothelioma (malignant tumours, cancers that develop around the lungs or intestine), pleural plaques (thickening of membranes around the lungs), cancer of the lung, larynx and o***y. You may also experience symptoms such as breathing difficulties and ‘scarring’ of the lung.
We assess any material that may contain asbestos and get it professionally tested. Once we receive the results, we can determine the best course of action, without putting anyone at risk.
We have qualified professionals with the right equipment to get the job done quickly, efficiently and most importantly, safely.
