HOME ASBESTOS DRUGS POLLUTANTS ACCIDENTS MALPRACTICE STORY OF OUR FIRM SEARCH

Asbestos ceilings in homes, offices and school buildings are still a health threat to this day . . .

Although asbestos exposure can lead to such serious health ailments as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma, the dangerous fibrous mineral has certain production qualities that contribute to its wide use in commercial building materials used for home, office, and even public school ceilings.

These coveted production qualities include high tensile strength, the ability to be woven, and resistance to heat, fire and most chemicals. Because of these properties, asbestos has also been widely used in other building surface products like roofing shingles and floor tiles.

Most building products currently on the market do not contain asbestos. However, until the 1970s, many types of building products and insulation materials contained asbestos.

Home, office, and school ceiling products still in place today are likely to be made of asbestos materials, but health dangers from inhalation of air-borne asbestos fibers are greatest when these products become dry, loose, or crumbly. That’s why sanding, drilling, or scraping these surfaces should be avoided, and conducted only by a certified asbestos remover.
