Before we delve into our asbestos disposal services, let's first discuss what asbestos is and why it is considered a hazardous substance.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry from the 1940s to the 1980s. It was primarily used as insulation and as a fireproofing material due to its heat-resistant properties. Unfortunately, exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to various health problems, including:

• Lung cancer
• Mesothelioma
• Respiratory problems
• Asbestosis

These health issues can arise when asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested. Due to its fibrous nature, asbestos can easily become airborne and enter the lungs or digestive system. While the use of asbestos in construction materials has been banned in many countries, it is still present in many older buildings and homes.
