The Harm of Asbestos Materials

Asbestos is a natural mineral, the serpentine group or amphibole, fibrous structure and has excellent technical characteristics. For this reason, until recently, asbestos materials have been widely used all over the world.

Materials That May Contain Asbestos

For example, in Poland, asbestos has become one of the cheapest and most popular raw materials for the production of building materials. It was used in the manufacture of roofing and cladding materials in the form of corrugated sheets, smooth panels and tiles, covering materials in the form of ceiling and wall panels soundproof and fire and vinyl floor tiles, insulation material in the form of showers and asbestos cement masses of gypsum and asbestos installation materials in the form of water and sewage pipes.

Currently, due to the proven harmful to the health of asbestos fibres, manufacture and use of asbestos-containing materials is prohibited almost everywhere in the world, and that’s the reason asbestos removal services have become too vital now. In Poland, such a ban was introduced relatively late, in 1997. The most dangerous are the fibres with dimensions of 1-10 m, the so-called respirable fibres.  Different varieties have different asbestos respirable fibre content.
