ASBESTOS ABATEMENT CONTRACTORS

June 10, 2010 – According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“the EPA”), disposing asbestos materials from a home or business is a very dangerous procedure that legally must be conducted only by licensed asbestos abatement contractors.

The EPA says that asbestos removal by anyone other than asbestos abatement contractors may actually increase the health risks to you and your family because asbestos removal can easily lead to toxic asbestos exposure and fatal diseases, such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.

Minor home repair work involving even a little renovation work is also not recommended without guidance from asbestos abatement contractors, since improper handling of aging asbestos building materials can create a hazard where none existed before.

Asbestos abatement contractors will help you identify asbestos materials embedded in you home or business, and dispose them safely and within the guidelines of state and federal laws.

Selecting asbestos abatement contractors

In New York state, the NYC DEP does not provide recommendations or referrals for people seeking information on asbestos abatement contractors.

When selecting asbestos abatement contractors, the Asbestos Control Program suggests reviewing the individual’s violation record, if one exists.

Violation histories may be obtained within 48-72 hours by faxing a request to (718) 595-3749.
