Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was extensively used in building materials, insulation, and textiles during the 20th century. However, exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Although the use of asbestos has been banned in the UK since 1999, many homes and commercial buildings still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). If left undisturbed, these materials may not pose a direct threat to human health. However, when damaged or disturbed, they can release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems.

That's why it's important to hire a professional asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon to remove any ACMs from your property safely and efficiently.
