Asbestos is a substance that is very harmful to humans. It is known to
lead to a various ailments including asthma and asbestosis. It can also
prove harmful to the environment. This is why we make sure that we
complete the job successfully the first time around, because there may
be no second chance when dealing with this kind of problem.
Asbestos
(from Greek ???????? meaning “unquenchable” or “inextinguishable”) is a
set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals exploited commercially
for their desirable physical properties. They all have in common their
asbestiform habit, long, (1:20) thin fibrous crystals. The inhalation of
asbestos fibers
can cause serious illnesses, including malignant lung cancer,
mesothelioma (a formerly rare cancer strongly associated with exposure
to amphibole asbestos), and asbestosis (a type of pneumoconiosis).
Long term exposure to asbestos is more likely to cause health problems, as asbestos exists in the ambient air at low levels, which itself does not cause health problems. The European Union has banned all use of asbestos and extraction, manufacture and processing of asbestos products.
Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufacturers and builders in the
late 19th century because of its sound absorption, average tensile
strength, and its resistance to heat, electrical and chemical damage.
When asbestos is used for its resistance to fire or heat, the fibers are often mixed with cement or woven into fabric or mats. Asbestos
was used in some products for its heat resistance, and in the past was
used on electric oven and hotplate wiring for its electrical insulation
at elevated temperature, and in buildings for its flame-retardant and
insulating properties, tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to
chemicals.
