Asbestos in Buildings & Health Risks

Close-up view of damaged asbestos

Many buildings contain asbestos. However, the use of asbestos-containing materials has decreased significantly since the 1980s. It may still be found in modern homes and has been widely used in building materials for many years. Asbestos is only hazardous when the material is decaying, disturbed, or damaged, which releases harmful fibers into the air.

Some common health risks of asbestos exposure:

  • Lung Cancer: Prolonged inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause lung cancer, especially for those who are exposed over extended periods.
  • Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive form of cancer that primarily affects the lining of the lungs or abdomen, caused by asbestos exposure.
  • Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers, which causes inflammation, scarring of the lungs, and difficulty breathing.
  • Respiratory Issues: Short-term exposure to asbestos fibers can cause coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing, which may worsen over time.

Why Do You Need Professionals for Asbestos Abatement Services?

Asbestos abatement is regulated and should only be performed by a qualified asbestos abatement company to guarantee proper safety. Certified professionals have the knowledge and equipment to handle asbestos safely, reducing the risk of exposure.

They follow strict procedures to contain and remove asbestos without releasing harmful fibers into the air, complying with local, state, and federal regulations. Attempting asbestos removal without professional help can lead to serious health risks, legal consequences, and further contamination.

So, don’t take risks. For professional and trusted asbestos abatement services in Bridgeport, Clarksburg, Morgantown, and nearby cities, contact Crossroads Property Rescue.
