Do I really need Asbestos testing services?
It’s a common misconception that asbestos is something you only find in old buildings. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Asbestos is still frequently found in modern materials. The main concern is whether the material is friable. When asbestos becomes friable, there are more chances of an exposure. If you have a renovation project on the horizon or a reason to undertake structural repairs to your building or facility, asbestos testing is an absolute necessity in order to get complete peace of mind.
Where Asbestos is Found
While mold growth may be what most people think of when it comes to indoor air quality issues, asbestos is a critical topic that requires careful consideration. Before the 1980’s asbestos was commonly used in oil refineries, shipyards, power plants, and in the construct of homes and buildings. Items like floor and ceiling tiles, siding, roof shingles, insulation, cement, and joint compound in the seams of sheetrock all may contain hazardous amounts of asbestos.
The Dangers of Asbestos
Asbestos is a carcinogen which has been known to cause harm or inflict disease through either the inhalation of or direct skin contact with victims of exposure. Skin contact may lead to a burning or itching sensation, prickling or tingling pain, and a rash. While inhalation can potentially allow asbestos fibers to become lodged in the respiratory system. Inhalation allows the carcinogenic fibers to reach the lower region of the victim’s lungs where it may cause asbestosis as well as pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma.
