The Health Risk of Asbestos Exposure

In our capacity as an asbestos removal company, what we do effectively is to prevent the flow of asbestos fibers from asbestos-containing materials. We have asbestos removal experts who are licensed, insured, and skilled at removing asbestos from any property in Vancouver or any city nearby, including houses, commercial buildings, and schools. 

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral made of flexible fibers that are heat, electrical, and corrosion-resistant. These characteristics make the material useful. However, asbestos exposure is extremely hazardous.

Asbestos was widely employed in building as an efficient insulator, and it may be utilized to strengthen the fabric, paper, cement, plastic, and other materials. However, if asbestos dust is breathed or consumed, the fibers can become permanently lodged in the body.

What Is the Health Risk Associated With Asbestos?

There is no harm from asbestos fibers as long as they are not released into the air. Fibers break down into tiny particles when released into the air. As a result, they are inhaled as airborne particles. Eventually, they collect in the lungs, causing scarring and inflammation. Health organizations in North America have classified asbestos as a carcinogen, a substance that causes cancer. You should always take care of it by a professional asbestos removal company in Vancouver. 

When exposed to asbestos, you can suffer from:

• Lung cancer.
• Permanent lung damage.
• Mesothelioma
• Cancer of the gastrointestinal tract
• Scarring of the lung lining.
• Pleural effusions, when fluid collects around the lungs
• The odour around you seems rather strong to me, so I was wondering if you noticed it.

My Home Contains Asbestos. Can I Remove It Myself?

The answer is no. If proper precautions are not taken, asbestos fibers can easily become airborne, posing a serious health risk. Prior to renovations, test the product or material if you suspect asbestos might be present. Prior to disturbing asbestos-containing materials (removal or cutting), it is necessary to follow proper procedures.
