Asbestos Disposal: Why Its a Must

Asbestos is a dangerous substance that is known to cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Because the fibers are so small and easily airborne, its essential to manage asbestos safely and responsibly, to prevent the health consequences caused by exposure.

One of the main reasons asbestos is so dangerous is that it can remain dormant in the body for decades before symptoms occur, which is why its known as a "silent killer." Asbestos is also incredibly resilient and can remain in our environment for hundreds of years, posing a risk to generations to come.

Asbestos: A Hazardous Substance

Asbestos is categorized as a hazardous substance by law because of its harmful effects on human health and the environment. Asbestos was used widely in building materials during the 20th century in the UK, with numerous buildings such as hospitals, homes, and schools heavily contaminated. This makes it all the more important to choose a responsible and reliable asbestos disposal company to remove any asbestos waste safely.
