    What Risks Does Asbestos Pose?

    Although asbestos was permanently banned from the UK nearly 20 years ago, it is still present in many buildings and homes across the country. Asbestos can be found in many areas of a building such as pipes, insulation, artex ceilings and other hidden areas. Therefore, it is still a common occurrence and should be taken with caution, especially if you own an old property. Houses that were built before 1999 may possibly contain asbestos, as this was the year the final type of asbestos was banned in the UK. Asbestos fibres are microscopic and very small, which is why they are so hard to identify. They can be up to 2000 times thinner than a human hair! It is also widely known that asbestos can cause many illnesses such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and other respiratory-related diseases.

    It is always recommended that you check to confirm if there is asbestos present as there can sometimes be fatal consequences if a human inhales the fibres. If you are concerned about the asbestos in your property please do not hesitate to get in contact with the team at All About Asbestos.

    Why is Asbestos Dangerous

    Asbestos is known to be dangerous across many different areas, whether that be in a domestic house or an industrial workplace. It is estimated that asbestos kills nearly 5000 workers every year, which is a worrying statistic. This is most common in the construction and building industries.

    Asbestos is normally found in three main forms known as amosite (brown asbestos), crocidolite (blue asbestos) and chrysotile (white asbestos.) Brown and blue asbestos are typically regarded as the most dangerous, as these types have been banned since 1985. Chrysotile has only been banned in the UK since 1999, so it is the most commonly found in today’s buildings. Many different regulations have been put into place due to the danger that asbestos poses, so it’s important that these are followed in the workplace and elsewhere.

    Asbestos in Your Home

    There are 2 main categories when it comes to asbestos fibres:

    1. Friable

    When asbestos is friable, it is in a powdered form. This makes it a lot more dangerous to a person, as powdered asbestos is much easier to inhale. Friable asbestos needs to be managed properly in order to prevent any harm, and often needs to be removed from the property entirely.

    1. Non-friable

    This is where the asbestos is much more compact. Non-friable asbestos is not easily released into the air and therefore poses less of a risk in comparison to friable asbestos. This normally makes the removal costs cheaper, and sometimes it may not be necessary to remove the asbestos at all.

    We do not remove the asbestos immediately as we need to ensure it is absolutely necessary to remove it.
