This document provides an overview of asbestos, its health hazards, and where it can be found. Asbestos was widely used in construction materials due to its desirable properties but is now known to cause serious health issues like mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis. It becomes hazardous when fibers are released into the air and inhaled. To avoid exposure, people should be aware of where asbestos is likely present in buildings and not disturb any asbestos-containing materials.
The Queensland legislation clearly stated that Asbestos removal Townsville should be performed by a person who has a proper license. If you believe or suspect that your property contain fibrous products, give our members a call.
Old houses usually give off the positive feeling of experiencing history. These do not always lead to happy and healthy results, however. In fact, recent studies reveal that old houses have paints that contain asbestos, which is one of most dangerous substances in the world.
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that was commonly used in building materials for its strength and heat resistance. It is composed of thin, tightly packed fibers that are very difficult for the body to break down. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can cause serious health issues like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma by becoming lodged in the lungs and other tissues. The only way to know if a building contains asbestos is to have it properly tested by a certified professional, as asbestos materials may not be visually identifiable and can become hazardous if damaged or degraded over time.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

When was Asbestos Used in Homes
Asbestos is the name given to a number of naturally occurring, fibrous silicate minerals mined for their
useful properties such as thermal insulation, chemical and thermal stability, and high tensile strength.
Asbestos was commonly used in building materials. Many products are still in place today contain asbestos,” according to the
Environmental Protection Agency.
LIVECHAT
3. There is no safe level of exposure to asbestos, according to the EPA and the Department of Health and Human Services.
Asbestos is a known carcinogen and is the only known cause of mesothelioma. This serious cancer is caused by breathing in or
ingesting asbestos fibers, which become lodged in the thin membrane that lines and encases the lungs and abdominal cavity.
One source of asbestos exposure often overlooked is in the home. If the house was built prior to the 1980s, it was likely built
with some asbestos-containing materials.
It is possible to be exposed to asbestos in your house when you undertake do-it-yourself renovation projects or as the result of
wind, rain or storm damage to the house.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, contact us to learn about your legal options for pursuing
compensation.
Asbestos-Containing Products in the Home
Asbestos was a common component of many building materials through the 1980s, and these dangerous materials can still be
found in houses and apartment buildings throughout the United States.
Do-it-yourself homeowners and professionals who are renovating or performing work on older homes may be exposed to deadly
asbestos fibers if they work with or disturb the following materials:
Cement roofing and siding shingles
House Insulation in homes built between 1930 and 1950
Textured paint and in patching compounds used on wall and ceiling joints
Artificial ashes and embers sold for use in gas-fired fireplaces
Older products such as stove-top pads
Walls and floors around wood burning stoves may be protected with asbestos paper, millboard, or cement sheets
Some vinyl floor tiles, and the backing on vinyl sheet flooring and adhesives
Hot water and steam pipes in older houses with an asbestos material or covered with an asbestos blanket or tape
LIVECHAT
4. Asbestos insulation for oil and coal furnaces and
door gaskets
Boilers
In addition, the National Safety Council warns
of asbestos found in:
Soundproofing or decorative material
Automobile brake pads, linings, clutch facings, and gaskets
The presence of asbestos-containing materials in a home is not hazardous unless the material becomes damaged.
Damaged, deteriorating, or friable asbestos that becomes dry and crumbles into a powder
may release asbestos fibers into the air that can be inhaled and can pose a health risk for
the residents.
Professional testing is recommended to determine whether materials in your home contain
asbestos.
Homeowners should never try to repair or remove asbestos-containing materials on their
own.
Disturbing these materials could release microscopic asbestos fibers into the air, putting anyone who inhales these fibers at risk of
developing a debilitating asbestos-related disease such as mesothelioma.
Limiting Asbestos Exposure
There are several ways a person can become exposed to asbestos, according to a Canadian Environmental Law Association
report, when renovating a home, including:
LIVECHAT
5. Disturbing loose-fill insulation and ripping away hot water tank insulation
Removing roof shingles or siding
Sanding or scraping asbestos floor or ceiling tiles
Sanding plaster or coatings, such as roofing compounds, sealants, paint, putty caulking and drywall products that contain
asbestos
During home renovation projects, work often involves cutting, scraping and sanding that can quickly damage asbestos-containing
materials.
The dust generated by these processes can travel throughout the house and remain airborne for weeks where it can be breathed
in by the residents.
If you plan on repairing, renovating or remodeling your home, and if you are in the U.S. and your house was built prior to 1980,
have your house tested for asbestos.
If your home does have asbestos-containing materials that are not damaged and have not been disturbed, your family should be
safe from inhaling fibers.
However, if the asbestos has been compromised and is damaged, you may need to hire professionals to conduct the work.
Managing Storage Areas
When retrieving stored items from an attic or basement, sometimes for many years, water damage and deteriorating house
insulation is often discovered.
Attics and basements are the main areas where asbestos-containing insulation was used.
The water damage and years of deterioration might cause the asbestos fibers to be exposed, so when moving boxes or items in
and out of these areas in the home, it might cause the exposed asbestos fibers to become airborne and you will be at risk of
inhaling or swallowing these particles.
LIVECHAT
6. Do not disturb the materials, if possible. The US Environmental Protection Agency recommends:
Limiting the number of times you go in and out of the area.
Keep children out
Placing the boxes on a moistened towel, and wiping down the items with a wet towel or sponge, to prevent the fibers from
becoming airborne.
Cleaning the area with wet cloths only – do not sweep or vacuum as this will stir up the fibers.
If there is damage in the area, check with a local asbestos abatement company to determine if work should be done to contain the
area.
Asbestos in the Garage
As noted by the National Safety Council, brakes, clutches and other car parts were once built with asbestos-containing products.
Individuals who work on their vehicles in their home garage may be at risk for inhaling asbestos fibers.
It is not possible to determine whether brake or clutch components contain asbestos simply by looking at them, but some vehicles
