Asbestos refers to a set of six different silicate minerals. These minerals occur naturally in the environment as thin, flexible, and strong fibers. On top of their durability, they are also fire, heat, electricity, corrosion, and chemically resistant. Because of this, asbestos was once believed to be an incredibly useful material for insulation and other commercial and industrial construction purposes. Unfortunately, asbestos is a dangerous carcinogen and can impose several health risks, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis. For this reason, it’s crucial to check your home or property for this harmful carcinogen and remove it if necessary with the aid of asbestos removal services in Kansas City.
Scientific studies have linked asbestos to several health diseases and illnesses. The danger occurs when the fibers are absorbed into the body, either via inhalation or ingestion. In this case, asbestos fibers can get trapped in organs (e.g. lungs) and their lining. Over time, this accumulation of asbestos may irritate, inflame, and scar the tissue, or in the worst case, cause cancer. For this reason, asbestos has officially been classified as a carcinogen.
