What is asbestos, and why is it dangerous?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction due to its durability and heat resistance. However, it poses serious health risks when fibres become airborne and are inhaled, potentially leading to diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Buildings constructed before 2000 are more likely to contain asbestos materials. If you suspect asbestos, it’s crucial to have a professional assessment conducted by certified experts like AES to identify and manage potential risks.
What should I do if I find asbestos?
If you suspect asbestos, do not attempt to remove or disturb it yourself. Contact AES immediately for a professional evaluation and safe removal.
