Asbestos Hazardous Substance

Asbestos is a hazardous substance that was commonly used in construction materials, such as pipes, roofing tiles, and insulation. It was used because of its heat resistance and durability. However, asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems, such as lung cancer and mesothelioma, when inhaled.

It is illegal to use asbestos in construction materials today, but many older buildings still contain ACMs. It is essential to ensure that any asbestos-containing materials are removed and disposed of properly to protect people and the environment.

Substance Never Disposed

Asbestos-containing materials should never be disposed of as general waste. Asbestos is classified as a hazardous waste, requiring careful handling, transport, and disposal. Asbestos waste must be disposed of in licensed hazardous waste facilities to prevent environmental and health risks.

General Waste Bin

Disposing of asbestos-containing materials in general waste bins is illegal and dangerous. This can cause asbestos fibers to be released, contaminating the air and potentially causing harm to people and the environment. Always ensure that any asbestos waste is disposed of safely by using a licensed asbestos disposal company.
