Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is ACM stand for?
ACM stands for ‘Asbestos-Containing Substance,' and it refers to any material that includes more than 1% asbestos. Asbestos-Containing Materials are only dangerous when breathed, however, they have been related to the malignant illness called mesothelioma.
What kinds of materials contain asbestos?
Although asbestos was widely used in the building industry for pipe and wall insulation, as well as in roofing materials, it was also widely used in other sectors for products such as wallboards, ceiling tiles, ovens and furnaces, hairdryers, irons, floor tiles, mastics and sealants, toilet
cisterns, and some on planters.
Can I collect and analyze my own asbestos sample?
When asbestos is breathed, it is directly related to mesothelioma, therefore we would never advocate testing for asbestos unless you are a qualified expert, but testing for asbestos does not need an asbestos licence.
What are the dangers of asbestos on one's health?
When asbestos is inhaled into the lungs in greater than usual quantities (most people inhale tiny amounts of asbestos all the time), it can develop asbestosis and mesothelioma. The greater the amount of asbestos inhaled into the lungs, the greater the chance of getting certain illnesses. In general, there is no safe amount of asbestos exposure; nevertheless, the consequences of asbestos inhalation do not manifest until 20 to 30 years.
Is it hazardous to touch asbestos?
Asbestos and asbestos-containing products are not regarded hazardous to one's health unless the asbestos fibers become airborne and are breathed into the lungs.
Is a single asbestos exposure harmful?
As of the moment, there is no such thing as a safe level of asbestos exposure. Much of the asbestos that is breathed becomes trapped inside the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, preventing it from reaching the lungs and posing a health risk.
What exactly is friable asbestos?
Friable asbestos is asbestos that is in the form of a powder or that is soft and crumbles when pressed with your hand. Asbestos pipe insulation and the paper-like covering on asbestos- backed vinyl sheet flooring are two examples.
I need to get asbestos removed from my home. Should I do it myself or hire an asbestos removal company?
We recommend that you use a licensed asbestos specialist since these professionals have the necessary skills, expertise, and equipment to do the task safely. However, if you decide to perform the task yourself, be sure you don't endanger yourself or your family, or risk polluting
your home or property.
Should asbestos-containing construction materials be labeled?
Warning signs and labels augment the information on an asbestos registry and must be used as part of a safe system of work where possible. A knowledgeable individual can provide advice on the positioning of labels and signage.
What should I do if I discover asbestos in my residence?
Even if the asbestos-containing material in your house has deteriorated, there's a high possibility that it may be repaired rather than removed. Removal is the final option since it entails disrupting the material and perhaps releasing additional fibers into the air.
What is the process of asbestos repair?
When dealing with pipe, furnace, and boiler insulation, if the insulation material slides when touched or the cover is no longer solid, the insulation is most likely beyond repair. Contact a professional.
What should I do if I believe asbestos fibers have gotten into the air?
Close off the room or section of the house where the fibers may be located if the area is big. Close any escape routes, such as air ducts, windows, or door drafts. Get in touch with a skilled expert or your local health authority. Dust and debris samples, as well as air samples, should be collected and tested in a laboratory.
What about asbestos in major home renovation or demolition projects?
You may be obliged to inform the authorities before beginning any work, depending on the amount of asbestos in your property. They will be interested in the scope of the work as well as your preparations for asbestos removal and disposal.
