Why It's Important to Get Asbestos Disposed of Safely

Asbestos is a hazardous substance and can cause serious health problems if mishandled. Asbestos fibres, when inhaled, can cause lung diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. It can take years for these diseases to manifest, and by the time they do, it's often too late for effective treatment.

To avoid the risk of exposure to asbestos fibres, it's crucial that you get asbestos-containing materials disposed of correctly. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we are committed to providing safe and efficient asbestos disposal services that ensure the health and safety of our clients.

Asbestos - A Hazardous Substance

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was extensively used in the construction industry in the 20th century. The use of asbestos was popular due to its durability, insulation properties, and fire resistance. However, prolonged exposure to asbestos can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos exposure can happen through inhalation and ingestion of asbestos fibers. The fibers can easily get into the air when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, such as when drilling or cutting into asbestos-containing materials.

Never Dispose of Asbestos in General Waste

Asbestos-containing materials cannot be thrown in general waste as it is classified as hazardous waste. Improper disposal of asbestos can result in human health and environmental hazards. It's vital to ensure that asbestos-containing materials are disposed of safely to prevent the release of asbestos fibres into the atmosphere.
