What to do if you’ve Accidentally Removed Asbestos Tiles
Asbestos is a mineral that naturally occurs as bundles of fibers. These fibers are strong and heat resistant, making them useful in various applications. However, exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer.
Asbestos fibers are often found in tiles, particularly older tiles. The fibers can become airborne and inhaled, leading to health problems. While some newer tiles do not contain asbestos, it is still essential to have any tiles tested, especially if you have accidentally removed asbestos tiles.
