Bonded asbestos is a type of asbestos material that contains a bonding agent, such as cement, that holds the asbestos fibers together. This type of asbestos material was commonly used in the construction of buildings, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s.
While bonded asbestos is generally considered to be less hazardous than friable asbestos (asbestos that is easily crumbled or crushed), it can still pose significant health risks if it becomes damaged or disturbed. When bonded asbestos is damaged or deteriorated, the fibers can become airborne and potentially inhaled by individuals, leading to serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
If you suspect that your property may contain bonded asbestos, it's important to have it inspected by a licensed asbestos removal professional. They can safely test and remove any asbestos materials from your property, ensuring that it's safe for you and your family.
It's also important to note that the regulations surrounding the handling and removal of asbestos can vary by location. In Australia, for example, there are strict regulations governing the handling and disposal of asbestos, with penalties for non-compliance.
If you have any concerns about bonded asbestos in your property, contact a licensed asbestos removal professional for guidance and assistance.
