Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials, particularly during the post-war building boom. Despite being banned in 1999, asbestos-containing materials are still found in many older buildings today. Asbestos poses a severe health risk, particularly when the fibers are inhaled. Asbestos fibers can cause diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis, all of which can lead to death.

While the risks associated with asbestos are well documented, many people still underestimate the danger of asbestos. Without proper abatement, asbestos fibers can be released into the air and inhaled by occupants, putting their health at risk. In addition, building owners and managers can be held liable for failing to remove asbestos from their buildings.

This is why it's crucial to seek professional asbestos removal services if you suspect that your property may contain asbestos. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we offer comprehensive asbestos removal services to ensure your property is safe and compliant with health and safety regulations.
