Homeowners
are warned of cancer risks from asbestos hidden in the
home
This risk is heightened by the fact that more and more
homeowners are taking up DIY and house renovations – ripping
out dangerous substances, dislodging deadly fibre particles,
with no idea of the long-term havoc which can be caused.
Most houses built from 1950 up until the 1980s contain
asbestos in their insulation, heating ducts and drainpipes
– white asbestos was even used in Artex plaster until
the late 1990s.
The British Lung Foundation has reported rising rates
of mesothelioma deaths caused by asbestos in the lungs
– the disease is predicted to claim 185,000 lives in the
UK by 2050. |

Why homeowners should
choose AIRS
AIRS is a trusted firm with qualified personnel who are
committed to quality and who operate with honesty and
integrity.
Homeowners should beware of 'cowboy' contractors and builders
who overcharge and mislead on asbestos issues – you could
be throwing money away on unnecessary work undertaken
on false grounds. Hiring unqualified individuals to carry
out asbestos removal can be very dangerous. |
