Deterioration, physical damage, and rot can wear down those tiles and expose the asbestos component of the roofing material.

If you are a new owner, have your property checked. Have your roof checked? If you have asbestos roof tiles, check their condition. If the roofing tiles are deteriorated, your only option would be to call in experts for the removal.

One of the main uses of ACMs (asbestos composed material) was as insulation for houses and lagging material. Many of the older heating systems were surrounded by asbestos lagging. The asbestos in the lagging was used to protect the pipes and insulate it from environmental conditions.

This type of ACM happens to be one of the most dangerous because it flakes off easily. Since asbestos is a fibrous material, it is dangerous when these tiny particles are airborne and inhaled into the lungs. If you breathe in these minuscule particles of fibre, it can become lodged in your lung tissue and cause inflammation and scarring. Over time, it will lead to chronic health conditions like COPD, asbestosis, and pleural effusions.

When you are looking at the fencing, you will not be able to tell whether it contains asbestos. These are some general guidelines to remember:

Fencing that was installed before 1985 – There is a very big chance that asbestos is contained within the material used to build the fencing.

Fencing from after 1990 – It would be unlikely that the fencing material contains asbestos.
Fencing from 2000s – It should not have asbestos.
