If you are concerned about asbestos on your property in Preston, an asbestos survey from ACS can give you the information you need to proceed. Asbestos is a dangerous substance. It was much loved in the building industry in the twentieth century. With its excellent insulation properties, it was used for all manner of building products. Many buildings from the era are riddled with asbestos material. It was only in the mid to late part of the century that people became aware of the dangers asbestos posed. Asbestos is made of tiny fibres. When it is broken or disturbed, these fibres are released into the air. They are small enough to be inhaled into the lungs, and this is what makes them dangerous. The fibres are lodged in the lungs, causing inflammation. This translates into diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. An asbestos survey will establish the condition of the asbestos in your building and indicate if there is any need for concern.
