Asbestos Exposure & Abatement



Tools and Strategies for Preventing Asbestos Exposure 

Asbestos word sounds very scary and one should be scared if one is exposed to this substance for a longer period of time. If you have never been exposed to it then there is no worry because your life and health is not at risk. However, the people with possible exposure like the ones working in such industries that deal with asbestos and asbestos sheets are under the higher risk of getting exposed for it for a longer term and develop the diseases caused by asbestos.

Over many years of time asbestos is used in multiple type of industries for its heat resistant and flexible properties. It was widely used in insulated walls, floor tiles, car brakes, roofs, tile industry and pipe blanketing systems. The heat resistance it provides made it ideal for the constructors to use it in construction materials in homes, buildings as well as ships. But the risks its fibers involved were discovered in late 19th century and its use became illegal. However, the houses constructed before its ban still get this substance in it.

The fibers of asbestos transform into tiny particles that cannot be seen through human eye however, these fibers get into the respiratory system through breathing and damage lungs and respiratory organs fatally. The longer the breathing of these particles the more damage is done to the respiratory system.

That is why decontamination services South Wales should be hired to decontaminate the spaces where asbestos is detected. The asbestos removal company have all the safety tools and equipment to safely encapsulate asbestos through asbestos encapsulation spray or paint or simply remove the asbestos sheets from the space. Thus, the effective removal is done by asbestos contractors Monmouth through following strict safety protocols so that the employees do not get effected by the exposure.
