More on Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral found in trace amounts throughout the world. The fire retardant properties of asbestos fibres were known to Greek and Roman civilizations. Records kept from that time noted that slaves had breathing problems from mining asbestos. In modern times, respiratory problems were noted in the 1920s and linked to asbestos fibres. But it was not until the 1970s, when lawsuits were brought against manufacturers of asbestos products, that Workers' Compensation Boards enforced regulations controlling the use of asbestos products in the workplace.

Asbestos related diseases damage and scar the lung tissue. It is this scarring that can lead to breathing difficulties and eventually to total hardening of the lungs, or to lung cancer. Asbestos products take many forms, from floor tiles through to spray on fireproofing. There are also several forms of asbestos, each with unique characteristics, but the most common form used in products, is Chrysotile.

Asbestos fibres are difficult to detect with the naked eye, and require a laboratory to analyze a sample and verify for asbestos content. The WCB regulates that any material containing more than one per cent by content of asbestos fibres is a hazardous material. Once asbestos has been identified, a specialized company like Phoenix Enterprises. should be employed to remove or encapsulate the asbestos containing material.
