Once identified the correct procedures and processes can then be implemented to execute the removals.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos is a dangerous carcinogen, meaning it can cause cancer.  Asbestos exposure has been shown to lead to lung cancer, mesothelioma and other cancers.  This is because asbestos fibres are too big to be filtered out by thebody's natural defense systems instead the fibres settle in the lungs and remain there for years.  It's important that you find out if your garage contains asbestos before having it removed. If asbestos has not been securely removed with the right equipment then you could develop health problems like those listed above later on down the road so be safe and call an expert.

In addition to asbestos being dangerous in its own right (if not handled properly), it is especially dangerous if found in a workplace setting where workers could be exposed to large quantities of dust.  This dust could then enter theirlungs through inhalation or mucous membranes such as eyes or nose after touching contaminated surfaces without the use of proper protective gear.

Employers would be required to hire licensed/trained contractors who specialize in removing such substances safelyso as not to affect employees' well-being negatively during their regular shifts or work hours where they spend time performing tasks where these potentially harmful substances exist.

What are the symptoms of asbestos exposure? 

Asbestos exposure can lead to lung cancer and mesothelioma.  Asbestos exposure can cause asbestosis, pleuralplaques and pleural thickening. Asbestos exposure can also cause gastrointestinal effects such as ulcerative colitis.

It is important to note that asbestos fibres are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye; therefore, it is difficult for an untrained person to identify them on their own.
