WHY IS ASBESTOS DANGEROUS?

0

Asbestos becomes dangerous when the fibres are breathed into the lungs, which can lead to a number of asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma, benign pleural disease, asbestosis, and lung cancer. If the asbestos materials remain undisturbed and are maintained in good condition, the likelihood of the fibres being released into the air is significantly reduced.

The microscopic fibres that make up asbestos, and indeed which give it such excellent ‘binding qualities’ can become airborne if the materials becomes damaged. Once airborne these fibres can be inhaled into the respiratory system, and could cause serious health problems.
