Why Exposure to Asbestos Is Bad
Asbestos is a binding material that is used in about 3,000 different products that you may find in and around your home. Its dangers were relatively unknown for many years and, as a result, asbestos was used in many building products. Asbestos is a fibrous material that is resistant to heat, fire, and other chemicals. Breathing in the fibres is what can cause serious health issues.
Problems arise when products containing asbestos are disturbed. If you undertake a remodelling project in your home and remove roofing tiles that contain asbestos, it is likely that you, your family, and those working on the project will breathe in asbestos fibres. These fibres remain trapped in the lungs for years. Should the fibres accumulate over time, the results can be devastating. Asbestos has been linked to mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, lung cancer, and asbestosis, which is an inflammation of the lungs that can make breathing difficult.
