What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is the general name for a variety of natural fibrous minerals. The minerals have unique physical properties that have greatly encouraged a demand for it to be mined and used. After discovering its health hazards, demand for it has significantly dropped and asbestos mines have stopped functioning.

What is Asbestos used for?

If your house was built in the early 80’s, then there is a high chance that asbestos might be present in your house. Asbestos was one of the most popular building materials that were used at the time. In the intervening years, study after study on the subject has shown that asbestos is very dangerous to anyone who gets exposed to it over a period of time. Asbestos has since been banned from its use in the construction of new buildings. However, this only covers new buildings. In order to remove asbestos from your home or building, you must contact a certified restoration company like Canada's Restoration Services

Why Hire a Professional to Remove Asbestos?

 
Asbestos has numerous of health concerns and can be a detriment to one's health if not properly handled and removed. By having an uncertified technician remove asbestos, it can release harmful invisible to the naked eye, fibres into the air that have been linked to lung cancer and other various cancers. Canada's Restoration Services' professionals are extensively trained, fully licensed and IICRC certified and have performed asbestos removal thousands of times. Our expertise, training and experience remains untouched. 

What are the Health Problems associated with Asbestos?

 
While some asbestos fibres are more dangerous than others, all pose serious health risks when exposed. Asbestos fibres can be released through various ways such as after repairs or maintenance and renovations, which causes a disturbance in asbestos-containing structural materials. The damage to someone’s health from exposure to the fibres is dependent on a few variables: 
  • amount of asbestos fibres in the air
  • how long your exposure lasts
  • how often you were exposed
  • the size of the asbestos fibres inhaled
  • the amount of time since your first exposure
  • the type of asbestos fibre
Depending on the combination of these factors, health risks could range from mild to severe. The main concern is the damage it causes to lungs, once the fibres get lodged and impair lung function. Health risks that have often been observed in individuals exposed to asbestos have included:
  • asbestosis - a scarring of the lungs that makes breathing difficult
  • mesothelioma - an otherwise rare cancer of the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity
  • lung cancer
  • cancer of the larynx
  • ovarian cancer
