So what is asbestos exactly?
Asbestos if a mineral made up of soft and flexible fibers that are very resistant to corrosion, electricity and heat (which is why it was used commonly in construction materials).
​
The problem is that if asbestos fibers or particles are inhaled, they can become trapped in a persons lungs and airways. When this happens, inflammation and scarring occurs over time and cancer and lung disease almost always eventuate.

How do you identify if you have asbestos?
Asbestos fibers are virtually invisible and can’t be smelled or tasted. Therefore, the only way to test whether you have asbestos or not is by hiring an accredited asbestos inspector.

So what should you do if you have asbestos?
Asbestos is really only a risk to you if the material containing asbestos is damaged or broken where the fibers are disturbed and released into the air. Asbestos that stays intact and is not disturbed, generally does not pose any risk.

But when you need to demolish a house or building that has asbestos, it’s extremely important that the materials containing asbestos are removed by a trained expert. This must be done before any demolition starts.
