Incomplete asbestos abatement creates risk for mesothelioma

It has been reported that an asbestos abatement project at a city owned building has come to a halt over a dispute concerning billing. The company responsible for conducting the asbestos abatement work is demanding additional fees for work already performed. Additionally, it is demanding fees over and above those agreed upon in the contract with the city. The premature cessation of the asbestos abatement work creates a risk for mesothelioma.

Once asbestos abatement work is stopped prematurely, asbestos fibers that have not yet been safely removed can be dispersed in the environment by air circulation. People near the asbestos abatement project site may inhale the asbestos fibers and develop asbestos diseases like mesothelioma decades later.
