Asbestos is a natural fibrous material that can result in serious health risks including lung cancer, pleural disease and mesothelioma just by breathing the mineral fibers into your lungs. If you do not recognize the symptoms quickly, the disease may not manifest for years. Asbestos testing by a certified asbestos inspector is important because this material can be in your:
• Flooring
• Roofing
• HVAC duct insulation
• Siding
• Wallboards
• Textured paints
• Fire doors
• Drywall compound
• Sprayed acoustic ceilings
• Elevator equipment panels
The federal government requires an asbestos inspection in all facilities and buildings since asbestos has been identified as a carcinogen. Homeowners and businesses might be required to conform to EPA and OSHA regulations for worker awareness and exposure and disposal requirements. Aeris offers asbestos air sampling for home and business owners in Florida to mitigate your exposure to asbestos.
Before the 1980s, asbestos was frequently used for building power plants, oil refineries and shipyards. Asbestos was used to create numerous building materials to some degree. For this reason, your residential or commercial building may have been constructed using these materials. Materials containing asbestos are common for all types of building components.
To protect your health and comply with both federal and state restrictions, an asbestos survey is mandatory before you have any work performed such as renovations. Your asbestos sampling includes:
• Sampling of building material containing asbestos
• History of your structure
• Reporting of the locations, area, material conditions and lab results
• Walk-thru including the access points of your building
