Why Is Asbestos Dangerous?
Back in the 1950s to the late 90’s asbestos was a common material for construction work and used in many homes and commercial properties in the UK. Asbestos is very common in ceilings, walls, piping and sometimes flooring too, so it can be found anywhere. When materials that contain asbestos are damaged or modified (such as drilling) this can cause the fibres to be released into the air. If someone breathes these fibres in it can be detrimental to their health and possibly be fatal. Asbestos has been linked to several types of cancer and other lung problems and therefore, should not be dismissed.
Asbestos has been banned in the UK since 1999 but many homes still contain it and therefore caution should be taken when looking to remove it or disrupt the materials. It is also heavily dangerous for those working in a trade such as plasterers or construction workers as they are constantly refurbishing and maintaining areas that are most likely to contain asbestos.
