WHAT IS
ASBESTOS?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that has been extensively used in various building materials due to its heat resistance and durability. However, its microscopic fibers, when inhaled, can pose significant health risks, leading to serious conditions such as mesothelioma and cancer.
What Are the Dangers of Asbestos Exposure?
Exposure to asbestos not only poses severe health risks due to the inhalation of its microscopic fibers, which can become trapped in the lungs, leading to serious health conditions such as mesothelioma and cancer, but it can also present significant liabilities for employees, customers, and businesses. The presence of asbestos in the workplace or in commercial properties can result in legal ramifications, potential lawsuits, and costly fines if proper precautions are not taken to mitigate its risks and ensure safe handling and removal procedures.
How Can I Tell If Asbestos Is In My Home Or Office in St. Louis?
Detecting if asbestos is present in your home or office is crucial, given the potential health risks. Here are some steps you can take:/
- Hire certified asbestos inspectors. Hiring professionals is the safest way to identify asbestos-containing materials and assess any risks.
- Visually inspect for common building materials known to contain asbestos, like insulation, flooring, and ceiling tiles. However, remember that asbestos fibers are microscopic, so visual inspection alone may not be enough.
- Consult local asbestos removal professionals or environmental consultants. Hiring a professional who can guide you on the best course of action is advised. Until you know for sure whether asbestos is present, do not disturb any suspected materials. This is crucial to avoid potential exposure.
