Asbestos Abatement
- General Toxicity
Asbestos is a mineral that is mined it is
not a healthy mineral to be exposed to.
Used as recently as 1980 exposure to asbestos is
considered a heath risk. Asbestos fibers can
stick inside the lung of a person and that can
allow cancer to develop.
Although excluded from our contract we tell frequantly tell clients insulation on the boiler and/or distribution piping is similar in appearance to materials known to contain asbestos. Although there is a very high probability the material is asbestos, it is simply not possible to visually determine if the material is asbestos with absolute certainty, laboratory analysis is necessary. Consultation with a licensed asbestos contractor is necessary prior to expiration of your inspection contingency to determine the proper course of action and to obtain an opinion as the necessity of air or bulk samples. Due to the age of construction, there may be other materials within the home that contain asbestos but are not identified by this inspection report. Asbestos fibers that get into the air represent a health hazard.
Most lung cancer victims had extensive exposure
of long periods of time in a workplace environment.
It is possible that some people can get enough
exposure in a residential setting to also fall
ill. Asbestos is still used in pop
corn type ceilings and other finishes.
Insulation on pipes that is getting into the air
or worse yet improperly removed asbestos are
likely to pose a greater risk than insulation
that is in good condition.
Visually it is not possible to determine with
100% certainty if a material is
insulation. If you suspect it might be the
next logical step is to order a lab test called
a bulk sample where a section of insulation is brought
back to the lab. If the sample is positive
for asbestos air testing should be ordered to
determine what an occupants exposure level is.
Do not disturb asbestos or allow contacts such
as plumbers to disturb it either. Removal
of asbestos should be performed by trained
people using all the required protective
gear.
If an owner represents the
asbestos was properly removed contact the municipal health and building
departments to be sure the necessary and required permits were obtained.
