Asbestos is a material that was used in just about everything manufactured many years ago. It was used in mines, factories, automobiles, floor tile, duct work insulation, blown in insulation, ship building, ceiling tiles and exterior cement siding. These are only a few of the places asbestos was used. No one at the time knew it would be harmful many years afterwards to anyone who breathed it in. It’s hard to believe that asbestos was mined and used over 4000 years ago when the first death known to be caused from asbestos was in the UK in 1924. A lady’s job was to spin it into yarn, but the fibers also settled in her lungs, eventually causing death. Today, buildings that were built in 1900s are still being cleared of asbestos by modern Decontamination Services in CT.
The removal of asbestos is a very serious matter. There are rules and laws set up that require the method of removing it from a building. Decontamination Services in CT should be called in to get rid of the asbestos. Trained technicians who know fully well how to remove asbestos dress in special clothing. They’re fully covered from head to toe, along with a mask. Whether they’re removing asbestos from old factories, demolishing them, or working to remove toxic molds from residents homes, the dress code for both is the same. Many homeowners call AA Asbestos Abatement LLC to remove both hazards, because they’re affordable and so they can get their homes and lives back to normal as quickly as possible.
There is a reason why Decontamination Services in CT is required when working with asbestos. Everyone must be very careful they do not breathe asbestos into their lungs. It causes a cancer called Mesothelioma, but it doesn’t appear overnight. It takes years and years, sometimes as many as 20 or 30 years, to appear after breathing in these dangerous fibers. Lawsuits are still pending due to employees who worked with this dangerous material who are now being struck down with cancer.
Some employers knew the dangers of asbestos exposure and didn’t tell their employees. Spouses and children were also exposed to work clothes and breathed the fibers. Removal from the premises must be done by professionals, disposed of properly and contained according to laws of the state and municipalities.
