Expert Asbestos Removal Services in Sunshine Coast
Because the Sunshine Coast is the third most populated area in Queensland, the presence of asbestos in some of its homes, commercial buildings or industrial properties is a sad reality. Exposure to asbestos continues to be a significant problem for Australians. As a result, a major asbestos demolition company such as Total Asbestos Removals and Demolition, in operation for many years, is the kind of service you should call. We specialize in all types of asbestos inspection, testing, and removal.
It’s difficult to know if dangerous asbestos is present in your environment without proper testing by a professional. Furthermore, not under any circumstances should you attempt to remove what you believe to be asbestos. This is a highly dangerous substance that poses serious health risks to you and anyone else exposed to the material. Only a qualified professional, such as we at Total Asbestos, can safely remove the dangerous substances. We have the equipment and the knowledge to remove the material safely and correctly.
Asbestos is a group of minerals, and in the past, it was widely used in a variety of ways, such as in building construction or as a way to make gear fireproof. In the 1980s, using asbestos as part of building development and other uses was banned. Today, asbestos has been proven to be harmful to a person’s health, contributing to such things as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
Looking at mesothelioma, it is the most serious of the side effects of asbestos exposure. It is cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, and it is cancer that is fatal, leaving a patient up to only approximately 12 months to live once the exposure has become apparent.
There are a variety of ways to be exposed to this deadly form of cancer. You can become exposed to mesothelioma through occupational asbestos exposure. For example, those in construction jobs or who work in shipping yards have run the risk of asbestos exposure. You can become exposed to the cancer through secondary exposure. For example, if asbestos were present on work clothing that was brought home, the asbestos could travel to the air, in tiny particles, and expose those in the house. Environmental asbestos exposure is another way to contract the disease, such as air and soil pollution containing asbestos. The goal is for asbestos removal in the Sunshine Coast to occur for any and all traces of dangerous asbestos exposure for a healthy home, business, and a healthy environment. The more dangerous asbestos is removed, the fewer chances Australians will die of asbestos-related cancers.
