Asbestos removal falls under the abatement category in construction, which is the act or process of reducing or otherwise removing hazardous materials. According to Wikipedia, asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral. There are six types, all of which are composed of long and thin fibrous crystals. Each fiber is made of many microscopic "fibrils" that can be released into the atmosphere by abrasion and other processes.
If the process of asbestos removal is not completed properly, it can contaminate the property, its contents, or pose a severe risk to humans. Inhalation of asbestos fiber can lead to various lung conditions, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. This is a particular concern in older residential and commercial properties throughout Wyandotte County, Jackson County, and Johnson County, where historic building materials are still common.
Asbestos removal is strictly regulated by federal, state, and local governments, requiring specialized licensing for abatement contractors.
