Bonded Asbestos Removal

Bonded asbestos is a type of ACM where the asbestos fibers are mixed with other materials, such as cement or resin. These materials bind the asbestos fibers, reducing the risk of fiber release. Bonded asbestos is not considered as hazardous as friable asbestos, but it still needs to be handled and disposed of with care.

Non-Bonded Asbestos Removal

Non-bonded asbestos is when the asbestos fibers are not mixed with any other materials. This type of ACM is more friable and poses a higher risk of fiber release. Non-bonded asbestos removal requires specialized equipment and a higher level of expertise to avoid exposure to airborne asbestos fibers.

Hazardous Substance

Asbestos is classified as a hazardous substance, meaning it poses a risk to human health and the environment. Asbestos fibers are microscopic and can be released into the air when ACMs are disturbed, such as during renovation or demolition.

Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to respiratory diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Symptoms may take years or even decades to develop, making early detection and prevention critical.

Asbestos Hazardous

Asbestos is hazardous when it is disturbed and fibers are released into the air. ACMs can become degraded over time, releasing fibers even without being disturbed. Asbestos must be handled and disposed of by trained and licensed professionals to avoid exposure to airborne fibers.
