10+ years Experience

There are several minerals commonly known as asbestos. These minerals can be used to make products strong, long-lasting and fire-resistant.

Before 1990, asbestos was commonly used for insulating buildings and homes against cold weather and noise. It was also used for fireproofing.

Industry, construction and commercial sectors have used asbestos in products like:

Cement and plaster
Industrial furnaces and heating systems
Building insulation
Floor and ceiling tiles
House siding
Car and truck brake pads
vehicle transmission components, such as clutches

Health Risks of Exposure

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause cancer and other diseases, such as:

Asbestosis: A scarring of the lungs, which makes it difficult to breathe
Mesothelioma: A rare cancer of the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity
Lung cancer

How can you be exposed?

You can be exposed to asbestos when a home or building is being renovated or demolished. Small asbestos fibres can be released into the air when:

Disturbing or removing insulation that contains asbestos, including insulation around hot water pipes and tanks
Removing or disturbing roofing shingles and felt or siding containing asbestos
Sanding, breaking apart or scraping vinyl asbestos floor tiles
Breaking apart soundproofing ceiling tiles containing asbestos
Sanding or disturbing plaster containing asbestos, including acoustical plaster
Sawing, drilling or smoothing rough edges of asbestos materials
