Calgary Asbestos
Calgary Asbestos | Asbestos is a natural mineral that was mined from rock that became popular in the industrial revolution during late 1800’s. The reason for the frequent use of Asbestos was:
- Asbestos is fire-resistant.
- It Bond’s minerals together and has long-lasting durability and flexibility.
- Asbestos is an excellent insulator for noise and electricity.
- Asbestos is also heavily resistant to chemical corrosion and biological growth.
Due to all of these reasons Asbestos has been a popular product for centuries in the use of construction of residential and commercial businesses.
Calgary Asbestos | DANGERS
Calgary Asbestos | One of the primary characteristics of asbestos fibers is how it is broken down. The majority of filament fibers are broken down into smaller pieces. Asbestos is broken throughout their length thus becoming smaller, thinner fibers. The extremely small fibers can get lodged into your lungs and resist your natural defense system from removing them naturally. The scar tissue that occur in your lungs due to the asbestos fibers can eventually lead to lung cancer, mesothelioma or asbestosis of the lungs.
