Asbestos is a mineral that is found in two-thirds of the rocks in the earth’s crust. Its ability to withstand fierce heat and chemical attacks while being flexible enough to be spun and woven has led to its widespread use of asbestos in the construction and components industry. In spite of being the best insulator, research showed that it has carcinogenic properties and can be risky for human handling. A dangerous disease that humans can face due to asbestos is Mesothelioma. Hence to avoid any hazardous situations, it is wise to opt for an asbestos inspection and environmental consulting company. Disturbed asbestos can be very toxic. If one inhales asbestos, it can lead to breathing difficulties, hypertension, swelling in the neck, trouble swallowing, and other similar issues.

To assist in understanding these concerns and legal requirements, GEO Environmental Co., Inc has put together what you need to know if you decide to DIY.
