Is Asbestos Insulation Dangerous?

1 Answer

Asbestos Insulation is not dangerous if the asbestos covered pipe or roof is in good condition. If asbestos insulation is not fraying or crumbling, then it is safe and should not be disturbed. Asbestos insulation becomes dangerous if it starts wearing off or if it begins to produce dust. These dust molecules may contain asbestos fibers that can cause serious injury if inhaled. Asbestos insulation that starts to fray or produce dust should be covered by plastic sheets or plywood.
