The most horrific aspect of asbestos related diseases is that the general population can go for years believing they are not at risk.
Where you in New York on 9/11? Were you anywhere near the towers?
Did you need to work in the district while the dust settled?
Do your children attend school in an older building?
Does the siding on your house contain asbestos fibers?
Does the insulation around the water pipes in the basement covered with insulation that contains asbestos?
Does the Vermiculite insulation in the attic contain asbestos?
The fact is, there is asbestos in many of today's homes.
Warning: If you worry that it might, do not touch it. Have a professional test it and remove it if necessary. NEVER try to remove asbestos containing material by yourself.
The truth is, most people have fallen into a false sense of security. They have been lulled into believing that asbestos has been removed from houses, work places, and school. This is far from the truth. Asbestos is still all around us.
Asbestos was a low cost, fire retardant, building material that was widely used. In fact, there are some products that are still made out of asbestos.
