The Use Of Asbestos In Old Buildings

asbestos survey

Asbestos was a common insulation material that was used commonly in the late 1900s to provide thermal insulation for various different kinds of houses and building structures. This led to a large number of buildings being cladded with asbestos which can be a problem when considering retrofitting existing buildings or renovating an old building. This is why asbestos testing plays an important role when surveying different kinds of buildings that are created in the recent past. This asbestos listing allows for a comprehensive understanding of the places where asbestos is present and therefore, appropriate measures can be taken to dispose of the asbestos in a reasonable manner.

Asbestos has been used in a wide variety of different buildings in the late 1900s to provide good quality thermal insulation to the inhabitants of that particular building or house. However, what was not known at that time, was the carcinogenic properties of asbestos. Exposure to Asbestos can lead to a greater risk of cancer being developed in the person who has been exposed. This risk is even more profound when considering different applications where the asbestos may be cut as it can lead to the asbestos becoming very fine and can lead to the asbestos finding an easy way into the lungs of the people that are nearby. This can increase the chances of lung cancer substantially. Asbestos testing provides an easy method of spotting potential points where asbestos is used, and it can be used to devise effective disposal plans for the asbestos that is present in a particular building or house.
