Considering what we know about asbestos now, it’s shocking how appallingly popular it was once upon a time. Asbestos fibres can settle deep into your lungs or your digestive tract. Once they are trapped there your body can’t expel them and they can cause serious life-threatening diseases including lung cancer.
And as if that’s not frightening enough, nearly one third of all Australian homes contain asbestos products. If your house was built before 1990, it can almost be guaranteed that it has asbestos in it somewhere, from the roof down to the carpet underlays, window putty, the waterproof membrane and the even the fence. Get an expert in, like us, a qualified occupational hygienist, or even the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), to check out your building, because the other important thing you need to know is that unfortunately, you often can’t tell if a material has asbestos in it simply by looking at it.
It’s so dangerous that Asbestos waste also includes contaminated building materials, tools that can’t be decontaminated, personal protective equipment and damp rags used for cleaning. It is an extremely hazardous material.
Asbestos should only be removed and disposed of by a licensed asbestos stripping company. You should NEVER strip it out and take it to the dump yourself. EVER! Remember it is illegal to dispose of asbestos waste in domestic garbage bins, to re-use, recycle or illegally dump asbestos products or to store, sell or give away asbestos. It must be taken to a facility that can lawfully receive hazardous asbestos waste. And remember, ALL asbestos is hazardous.
