What is Asbestos ?
Asbestos is a fibrous material that was once widely used in the construction of homes. If asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, the risk of several serious diseases increase, including asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer. We can help to assess the potential presence of asbestos in soils, asbestos fibers, and any asbestos-containing materials that can cause harm to people’s health.
Air Monitoring
When asbestos materials are damaged or disturbed, asbestos fibers are released into the air, causing significant health risks and lung damage in exposed individuals. Asbestos air monitoring is conducted to assess risk and to ensure effective control methods are in place.
Friable Material Sample
Non-Friable Material Sample
Non-friable asbestos materials are typically solid and stable, with asbestos fibers securely bound within a matrix. Examples include asbestos-cement products, gaskets, and encapsulated insulation. These materials pose high health risks and should be managed with care to prevent fiber release. Compliance with regulations is essential when dealing with non-friable asbestos-containing materials.
