Asbestos has been used in many building materials, including roofs, walls, ceilings, pipes, floor tiles, and insulation. When these materials become damaged or disturbed, the asbestos fibers become airborne and can be inhaled. These fibers can cause irreparable damage to the lungs and other body organs over time. The danger lies in the fact that asbestos does not have an immediate effect, but its effects appear years after exposure. So, if you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is crucial to have it tested by a professional asbestos testing company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon.
