Asbestos
Instructions
Asbestos is considered hazardous waste. The best way to handle and dispose of asbestos is to hire licensed asbestos abatement professionals. If you don’t hire a professional, you are likely to break one of the many laws that regulate asbestos, and you run the risk of facing a serious fine or penalty.
Facts
Inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to a variety of serious lung conditions, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and cancer. While all six types of asbestos fibers are known to cause serious health hazards in humans and animals, the two considered most hazardous are amosite and crocidolite.
