Remove Asbestos

How do you remove Asbestos safely?

I have a garage roof, which leaks and I wish to replace it. The trouble is, it’s Asbestos. What are the UK rules and regs on this?

oh my god… contact your council they will send someone to remove it for you…..

asbestos is safe when its behind a solid surface like concrete but if its exposed do not go near it….. even air movement can create dust/ flake particles to become dislodged from it…. if these are inhaled they permanently damage your lungs … your lungs can not regenerate the parts that the particles have eaten away….

i used to work for the council and the asbestos officer gave me a long talk about it…. the longer it out in the open the more damage it will do

Removing Asbestos From The Air

How to remove asbestos tape safely from ductwork?

I am having a new furnace installed soon and when the consultant checked out my duct work he noticed asbestos tape on some of the ducts. He said before the installers come I should have Abatement (?) come and do it professionally, but is this something I can do safely on my own, and if so how do I go about doing it without releasing fibers into the air? Or is this strictly a professional problem I should consult someone on?

It’s not safe to do on your own that’s why a professional is needed to get it off there. They are trained, are wearing protective suits, and have the equipment to remove it and take it away from the home since it is considered a bio hazard substance. In some states there are specific statutes that prevent anyone other than a professional to remove it from the home.

Asbestos has been widely used in many building products because of its tensile strength and chemical and thermal resistance.

However, asbestos is extremely hazardous to workers handling it and to others in the area when it gets into the air and is inhaled. Asbestos is a carcinogen that causes lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Because of this hazard, laws have been enacted to prevent asbestos exposures. They include these requirements:

Fines
State law specifies a minimum $250 per day fine for failure to obtain an asbestos report. This fine can be applied to both the contractor and building owner. Additional fines may be applied if workers are exposed to airborne asbestos.

* Building owners must have their buildings inspected for asbestos before construction, renovation and demolition activities.

* Construction contractors – Disturbing asbestos materials during construction is a serious hazard. Before bidding or starting any construction work, they must obtain a written asbestos report from the building owner or owner’s agent.

* Asbestos abatement (removal) contractors — anyone handling or removing asbestos in Washington
o Must be certified.
o Must also notify L&I of any asbestos abatement projects they are going to work on 10 days prior to starting. Notify L&I of your asbestos projects.

Sheetrock Asbestos

Does old Sheetrock sometimes contain Asbestos?

I have old sheetrock that is cracked and peices missing in the basement of my house, I am wondering if I should be concerned, I have read that some sheetrock did contain asbestos and I also read that sheetrock did not, that the compound holding the sheetrock together may have. These peices of sheetrock are not compounded nor are they plastered they are only nailed in.

Sheetrock (aka drywall) is just compressed gypsum with paper covering it. I’ve never heard of any that had asbestos. Asbestos was usually used in insulation and roofing materials. Plus, even if there were asbestos, the way to get rid of it is not to tear it out, since that just puts it out into the air. Instead, you need to encapsulate it. All that means is paint over it, and you’ll be fine.

44.citrine

you dont have to name them all but just a couple would be nice or a website that could give me the answers of some of them. k thanks.

Most of the minerals on your list can be many colours, the different colours caused by different impurities in them.

For example, quartz can be a wide range of colours, and 2 others on your list, amethyst and citrine, are both types of quartz. Both get their colour from iron, and if amethyst is heated it becomes citrine.

Beryl is another gem that can be various colours. Green beryl is emerald and gets its colour from chromium. Aquamarine is pale blue beryl and gets its colour from iron. Morganite is pink beryl and gets its colour from manganese.

Silver and gold are both elements, so they’re that colour because that’s how they reflect the light.

Trilobites are a type of fossil so their colour will depend on what rock they are in.

If you google them you should be able to find out which elements cause the different forms of each mineral, or look on wikipedia.

Tile Asbestos

I am wanting to remove asbestos tile from my slap floor, how do i remove the petroleum based adhesive?

Don’t mess with asbestos !!!!
If is cracked and broke up you need to have it a abated . $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If it is chipping and flaking get it real damp and use latex type gloves clean it up and put it in zip lock bags along with any thing that you used to clean it up including the gloves. Wear a good respirator. When done wet the filters in the respirator and remove them and put then in the bags too, then us a damp rag and clean the respiratory..

If it is flat and and is just ugly. Buy a good sealer and seal the floor, then install a wall to wall rug or free floating floor over it.

Vinyl Floor Tiles Asbestos

Subfloor in kitchen..layers..asbestos?

house was built in 1965.
from looking at a side view of the floor in the kitchen i see the following layers working from the top down..

linoleum
linoleum
plywood
black-foam-like substance
vinyl tile
black stuff
plywood

my question is on the black-foam-like substance. it is NOT hard like a dried mastic. it is actually rubbery in feeling. could this just be a soft underlayment put down in order to put the plywood on top and then the linoleum floor?

was there ever a rubbery like material that contained asbestos in the subfloor?

Not that I have ever heard of. I would however recommend wearing a respirator in for a few bucks you can get a Tyvek suit that will cover you from head to toe and if you’re careful and bag up everything as you go and vacuum well, you should be okay even if there is some. Don’t forget the goggles and gloves.

Why Did They Use Asbestos

The next time?

The next time you buy sanitary pads or tampons, check the labels and see
whether you spot any of the familiar signs stated in this email.

No wonder so many women in the world suffer from cervical cancer and womb
tumors. Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in tampons? Why
would they do this?

Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more, you’re going to
need to use more.

Why this isnt against the law since asbestos is so dangerous?

Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom (not), did not consider
tampons as being ingested, and therefore, didn’t consider them illegal or
dangerous.

This month’s Essence magazine has a small article about this and they
mention two manufacturers of a cotton tampon alternative. The companies are:

Organic Essentials @ 1-800-765-6491 and Terra Femme 1-800-755-0212.

A woman getting her Ph. D at the University of Colorado at Boulder sent the
following:

This is a hoax.

In the last six months, unfounded rumors on the Internet have suggested that U.S tampon manufacturers add asbestos to their products to promote excessive menstrual bleeding in order to sell more tampons. FDA has no evidence of asbestos in tampons or any reports regarding increased menstrual bleeding following tampon use.

Before any tampon is marketed in the U.S., FDA reviews its design and materials. Asbestos is not an ingredient in any U.S. brand of tampon, nor is it associated with the fibers used in making tampons. Moreover, tampon manufacturing sites are subject to inspection by FDA to assure that good manufacturing practices are being followed. Therefore, these inspections would likely identify any procedures that would expose tampons products to asbestos. If any tampon product was contaminated with asbestos, it would be as a result of tampering, which is a crime. Thus far, FDA has received no reports of tampering. Anyone having knowledge of tampon tampering is urged to notify FDA or a law enforcement officer.

His brokers wife.

Who found the asbestos? If you find it, disclose it to everybody involved, including your broker.

Don’t know.

Lease stays valid since it runs with the land.

Listing belongs to the broker, not the salesperson. Broker would simply reassign it or work it.

Lead doesn’t care much for strawberries.

Nope
