Hazmat suits and special air filtration equipment are required when removing asbestos materials from a house.
Asbestos fibers are invisible and dangerous
Although asbestos has been used for thousands of years because of its insulating and fireproof qualities, we know today that exposure to microscopic asbestos particles is extremely dangerous. Some forms of asbestos (referred to as “friable” asbestos) are more dangerous than others because they are easily degraded, putting hazardous microscopic fibers into the air you breathe.
