Information About Asbestos

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos refers to a group of naturally occurring silicate minerals, including tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite. These minerals form bundles of fibers, which are up to 700 times thinner than a human hair. Due to their durability and heat resistance, asbestos fibers were widely used in insulation and other building materials until the late 1970s and early 1980s. The most commonly used types of asbestos are Chrysotile (white asbestos) and Amosite (brown/off-white asbestos). Today, asbestos is classified as a hazardous material due to its health risks.

Where is Asbestos Found?

Asbestos is typically found in building materials used before 1981. Common places where asbestos may be present include:

  • Insulation (particularly around boilers and pipes)
  • Floor and ceiling tiles
  • Plaster and drywall
  • Roofing materials, such as cement roofing and shingles
  • Siding
  • Door gaskets
  • Textured ceilings (e.g., popcorn ceilings)

If you own or manage an older home or building, it’s critical to have it inspected by a certified professional to assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). If these materials are found, asbestos removal is often required to ensure the safety and compliance of the property.

When is Asbestos Dangerous?

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are generally considered safe when they remain intact and undisturbed. However, when asbestos fibers are released into the air—due to damage, renovation, or wear and tear—inhalation or ingestion of these fibers can become extremely harmful. Once airborne, these microscopic fibers can enter the body and accumulate in the lungs or digestive tract.

It's important to note that while asbestos exposure might not be immediately dangerous, over time it can lead to significant health risks. This is why it's essential to have asbestos-containing materials professionally assessed and, if necessary, removed by a certified asbestos abatement contractor.
