Asbestos Disposal
Nationwide Asbestos Disposal
Asbestos was once commonly used in construction due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It is also highly rigid and a fantastic insulator. Sadly, after it had been widely used in commercial and domestic buildings, it was discovered to cause severe respiratory illnesses, including mesothelioma and asbestosis, and was classified as a hazardous material in the 1980s.
