Asbestos removal can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Asbestos contains fibres which can cause a fatal form of cancer known as ‘mesothelioma’ when inhaled. Usually, mesothelioma was only contracted by those who were exposed to asbestos over significant periods of time, such as miners. When removing asbestos, you run the risk of damaging the fibres and making them airborne, at which point they can be inhaled. Therefore, there are strict requirements and procedures to follow to reduce this risk when handling asbestos. The process is best left to professionals who are trained in this. If you live in Nottingham and you’re considering removing asbestos from your property, consider contacting a professional provider of asbestos removal in Nottingham first before attempting to remove it on your own.
