Discovering asbestos in buildings is not uncommon, as it is extensively used in various applications, including flame retardants, thermal insulation, and construction materials. Our asbestos abatement services address the challenges posed by asbestos-containing materials, ensuring a safer environment.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral composed of long, thin fibers that possess high tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and electricity. Due to these properties, asbestos has been historically used in various construction materials, such as insulation, roofing, flooring, and fireproofing. Its widespread use peaked in the mid-20th century, but concerns regarding its health hazards emerged as studies linked asbestos exposure to serious respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
Recognizing its dangers, many countries have imposed strict regulations on asbestos use and initiated efforts to mitigate its impact on public health. As a result, asbestos is now largely phased out or banned in numerous applications, although the legacy of its past use continues to pose challenges in terms of environmental and occupational safety.
Asbestos was utilized in diverse forms, such as spray-applied flame retardant, thermal system insulation, and structural components like panels. It was also present in confined spaces like false ceilings, technical ducts, and acoustic ceilings like the notorious 'popcorn ceiling.' Even homes built until 1986 could harbor asbestos in their acoustic ceilings, as remaining stocks were used post the U.S. ban in 1978.
Asbestos fibers pose significant health risks, especially in projects involving construction workers. Exposure to these toxic fibers can occur during renovation or demolition activities involving asbestos-containing materials.
