Asbestos minerals are naturally occurring minerals that are fibrous in structure, as opposed to grainy for example, and include: Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, and fibrous types of Anthophyllite, Tremolite, and Actinolite. The most common kind that our licensed asbestos removal contractors find during asbestos testing is Chrysotile. Although the use of asbestos is now banned in the United States and many other countries for most uses, it was previously used in a huge variety of building materials and therefore can still be found in many older buildings. Its popularity for use in various products came from its fire resistance, soundproof ability, versatility and strength. Additionally, mineral deposits of asbestos are found around the world. At one point, more than 3,000 types of products used some kind of asbestos.
If you suspect that your building was built using asbestos products, you should order an asbestos survey, and follow up with industrial asbestos removal if any is found. Asbestos has now been linked to many health problems, such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. The other danger is that asbestos related diseases are long-latency, meaning effects show up long after exposure. This exposure usually occurs through inhalation, as products get older and worn down they release asbestos into the air and we breathe it in from the environment.
