Asbestos is a hazardous material that, if not handled properly, can pose serious health risks. When disturbed, it releases tiny fibers into the air that can be inhaled, leading to severe respiratory diseases. Long-term exposure has been linked to conditions like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, a rare but aggressive cancer. If your home contains asbestos, taking action quickly is crucial to protecting your family’s health.
Many older homes still have asbestos in insulation, roofing materials, vinyl tiles, and pipe coatings. The danger lies in its deterioration or improper removal, which spreads harmful fibers into the air. Breathing in these particles over time can cause lung scarring, breathing difficulties, and life-threatening illnesses. Unfortunately, asbestos-related diseases often don’t show symptoms until years after exposure, making prevention and early action essential.
If you suspect asbestos in your home, attempting to remove it yourself can be extremely dangerous.
