Asbestos refers to a set of six naturally occurring minerals that form long thin fibers. Prolonged exposure can lead to serious diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer. Asbestos removal requires protective equipment and licensed contractors due to the risk of airborne fibers. Only removalists with class A licenses can remove friable asbestos, while class B can remove up to 10 square meters of bonded asbestos. As many older buildings still contain asbestos, precautions should be taken when renovating to ensure safe removal by licensed professionals.
Cellulose insulation is made from 75-85% recycled paper and contains fire retardants like boric acid. It became commercially available in the 1940s and accounts for about 10% of the insulation market today. Cellulose can be installed via loose fill or wet spray methods. Loose fill is blown into walls and may settle over time, while wet spray provides more uniform fill but uses water during installation. Cellulose has drawbacks like absorbing water and potential settling, but studies found it has a higher R-value than fiberglass due to its tighter packing in wall cavities.
HISTORY OF INSULATION
For as far back as history goes, the earth has experienced four distinct seasons. Some areas have always experienced more extremes in terms of temperatures and therefore had to find ways to maintain a comfortable living environment. Insulation has been used throughout the centuries to keep heat in and cold out or vice versa. It is interesting to note that some of the alternate environmentally friendly techniques that are being considered today, such as fabrics, were being used in ancient times as insulation.
Defining Insulation
Insulation refers to a substance that slows or retards the transfer of heat or sound. Most often, when talking about insulation in modern terms, it is in reference to the building and construction industry.
Ancient Forms of Insulation
Prehistoric people built shelters to protect themselves from the elements, originally using organic materials and later more durable substitutes.
Hot climates would construct homes with thick walls that would insulate against the heat and provide a cooler and more temperate indoor environment in which to live.
• Ancient Mayan ruins in Central America.
• Egyptians also used these construction methods to keep out the desert heat of the Sahara.
These homes had low roofs and small windows so the heat couldn’t easily enter and remain in the homes.
• Ancient Greeks probably made some of the more significant discoveries in terms of insulation - they used cavity walling to insulate the buildings. Cavity walling has a gap between two walls which traps air and moderates the temperatures. During the hot summer months, cavity walls kept the warm air out and in the cooler winter months, it would help keep the warmth inside the homes.
• The Romans also used cavity walls, though in addition, they used materials such as cork to insulate hot water pipes so the heat from the pipes would not transfer to the surrounding walls and floors, causing them to crack. Fabrics were also used as additional insulation. Scraps of cloth would be tucked into window frames to keep out the desert dusk or the icy European cold. Rugs made from animal furs were used as carpets and thick linen drapes were used as curtains. Elaborate tapestries were hung on walls and helped to manage some of the moisture buildup in the stone buildings. The tapestries also helped moderate the draughts that could sometimes cause an added chill.

Caulk used in buildings before 1980 may contain PCBs, which are toxic chemicals that persist in the environment and can affect human health. PCBs from caulk can migrate into the air and dust inside schools and other buildings. To reduce exposure, people should improve ventilation, frequently clean surfaces with damp cloths or HEPA vacuum cleaners, and wash hands and children's toys often until the caulk can be safely removed. Companies should test for PCBs in building materials before renovations to avoid liability for contaminated waste disposal.

Infrared paint removal is an effective method that has been used for many years. It operates at lower temperatures than heat guns, reducing fire and scorching risks. Importantly, it does not produce noxious fumes or dust like lead-based paint removal. The Scandinavian Heritage Boards recommend infrared removal as the sole tool for stripping paint from listed historical properties. While new paint no longer contains lead, older homes built before 1970 likely contain lead paint that is still hazardous if not removed carefully. Chemical stripping is expensive, messy, and produces toxic fumes and dust, risking premature paint failure from residual chemicals.

Health Risks of Asbestos: A Silent Hazard
Asbestos, a group of minerals composed of microscopic fibers, was once widely used for its durability and resistance to heat. However, its health risks have since made it notorious.
The Invisible Danger
Asbestos fibers are microscopic and cannot be seen without magnification. When materials containing asbestos are disturbed, these fibers can become suspended in the air and can unknowingly be inhaled. This hidden danger makes asbestos especially hazardous as individuals may not be aware of their exposure.
Long-Term Health Consequences
When inhaled, asbestos fibers can become trapped in the lungs and stay there for a prolonged period. As time passes, these fibers can result in inflammation and scarring, ultimately causing severe medical complications:
Asbestosis: This lung disease is characterized by scarring of lung tissue, which can lead to difficulty breathing and a chronic cough.
Lung Cancer: Exposure to asbestos greatly increases the likelihood of developing lung cancer, particularly in individuals who smoke
