Understanding Asbestos and Its Risks
Asbestos has been extensively used in various industries and the construction sector for decades. The three main types of asbestos are:
● Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos)
● Amosite (Brown Asbestos)
● Chrysotile (White Asbestos)
Despite increasing awareness of the health hazards associated with asbestos dating back to the 1950s and 1960s, large-scale removal and abatement only began in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Properties constructed before the 1980s are likely to contain significant amounts of hazardous asbestos materials. Even though asbestos cement and textured coatings continued to be used up until the 1990s, the dangers posed by asbestos fibers remain a critical concern.
All asbestos fibers are considered carcinogenic, with legislation in place to restrict exposure to each type at the same level. The release of airborne fibers constitutes the primary risk, leading to severe health conditions such as lung disease and various cancers. Therefore, the type of asbestos application is more significant than its content. For example, insulation and sprayed coatings containing Chrysotile pose a higher risk than asbestos cement containing Crocidolite, as the former is more easily disturbed.
Asbestos in Buildings
Asbestos's versatility led to its widespread use in:
● Insulation: Found on boilers, pipework, and plant equipment requiring temperature control.
● Fireproofing: Sprayed asbestos on girders and steelwork.
● Soundproofing: Acoustic correction and decorative coatings.
● Building Boards: Asbestos insulating board used for fire resistance and strength.
● Asbestos Cement Products: Partitioning, panelling, roof tiles, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, flues, and water downspouts.
● Weaving Materials: Ropes, gaskets, blankets, cardboard, and paper products. In total, there are over 3,500 known uses of asbestos fibers.
