FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ASBESTOS CEMENT SHINGLE REMOVAL

What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring, mostly fibrous mineral and may consist of any one of a number of silicates.

Asbestos is used in a variety of products because of its physical properties, which make it resistant to heat, fire, and many caustic chemicals. Asbestos has been used extensively as fireproofing, an insulating agent, and for decorative purposes, among many other uses.

The physical properties that give asbestos its resistance to heat and decay are linked with several adverse human effects.

Asbestos tends to break into a dust of microscopic fibers. Because of their size and shape, these tiny fibers can remain suspended in the air for long periods of time and can easily penetrate bodily tissue when inhaled.

Because of their durability, these fibers can remain in the body for many years.
