A home is an environment where people reside, feel comfort and grow as a person as time passes be it physically, mentally and emotionally.
It is a given that most homes are houses and such place is provides people the feeling of comfort and security . Now if homes act as “safehavens†for us wouldn’t it be fair that without knowing while we live our everyday lives we are potentially on a risk of harm and not visibly but because of our home itself.
Now we know that Asbestos has had a great application when it comes to infrastructure constructions and even houses that people live. And Asbestos as we know it presents risks for people that reside on environments with it.
Being that in some cases exposure to Asbestos may be unavoidable and certainly that’s why homeowners needed to be informed about the risks of Asbestos at homes.
One of the hazards that asbestos made houses presents is that Renovating or demolishing houses containing asbestos products can release asbestos fibres, which are extremely fine and can stay in the air for hours. Breathing in asbestos fibres may cause serious health problems, including lung disease and cancer
Not only that Asbestos may cause illnesses but death may happen for those unfortunate ones. With this in mind it is important that homeowners and eventual homeowners must make sure that they are informed about Asbestos Awareness and how to avoid the risks of being exposed to these harmful elements. Another thing you could do as a homeowner would be having the Asbestos-containing materials should be identified and removed by someone trained in asbestos removal and wearing protective clothing and a respirator.
Knowing that houses are homes where one can grow, we all have to make sure that the houses that we will reside for a long time will really give us the shelter that it should give for us to grow and live life to the fullest. Not harm.
