Why you need professionals
Any reputable professional will emphasize that handling asbestos removal yourself is a significant health hazard. Inhaling fibres released from disturbed asbestos can lead to serious diseases like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and even asbestos-related lung cancer. These health risks not only affect you but also pose a danger to other members of your household. That's why it's crucial to isolate the asbestos and seek professional assistance for safe asbestos removal Stockport.
Health risks in the long run
If you've already started removing asbestos without professional help, you have potentially put your health and the health of your family at great risk. Prolonged exposure to asbestos particles can lead to illnesses, as well as conditions like pleural thickening. The most concerning aspect is that asbestos fibres are difficult to identify as they are about 10 times smaller than a human hair. If left unremoved by trained professionals, these fibres will continue to linger in your home, putting anyone inside or entering it at risk.
Uniform risks, varying asbestos types
Though there are different types of asbestos, none of them are any less harmful than the others. White asbestos, commonly found in roofing, ceilings, walls, and floors, poses a significant risk. Brown asbestos, often mixed with other types, is commonly used for insulation and boarding products like ceilings and domestic heating cupboard wall linings. Brown asbestos is known to have a higher cancer risk when exposed. Blue asbestos consists of thin fibres and is highly brittle, making it break down into the most harmful form of asbestos.
Other forms of asbestos, such as Tremolite (found in paints, sealants, insulation products, and talc), Actinolite (dark fibres found in drywall), and Anthophyllite (occasionally in composite flooring), also pose dangers to human health.
