Asbestos is the name given to a group of minerals that are often used in the fabrication of durable and resistant products. Prior to 1990, asbestos was frequently used for fireproofing and insulation in buildings. Despite its toxic and harmful characteristics, many industries continue to use this mineral in many products:
- Cement and Plaster
- Vehicle Transmission Components
- Industrial Furnaces and Heating Systems
- Building Insulation
- Car and Truck Brake Pads
- Residential Wall Covering
- Floor and Ceiling Tiles
What are the adverse health effects of exposure to asbestos?
Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause several health problems:
- Asbestosis: a formation of scar tissue in the lung that impairs breathing
- Mesothelioma: cancer of the chest wall or abdominal cavity
- Lung cancer
In some situations, asbestos-containing materials are safe. The negative effects are limited in the following cases:
- They are well insulated in the attic
- They are well sealed behind floors and walls
- Asbestos is strongly bonded to the material and it is in good condition
- They are left undisturbed
In what situations can one be exposed to asbestos?
Exposure to asbestos is often observed during major renovation or demolition work. In fact, many activities can result in the spread of small asbestos fibres, including:
- Removal of asbestos-containing insulation
- Removal of asbestos-containing roofing shingles or siding
- Demolition of vinyl asbestos flooring
- Demolition of asbestos-containing soundproofing ceiling
- Demolition of asbestos-containing plaster
- Polishing of asbestos-containing materials
Sanding or stripping of old surface treatments can also trigger the spread of asbestos fibres:
Be careful when changing the brakes or transmission clutch on your car. Some parts may contain asbestos and you may be exposed to small toxic fibres during these activities.
