Asbestos is a naturally formed mineral silicate material that was widely used in the building and construction industry until the 1990s. From 2003, it has been completely prohibited in Australia. Asbestos has been found to be an inhalation health hazard when fibres are liberated, whereby they may be lodged onto the lining of the lungs. All types of asbestos fibres are known to cause serious health problems including carcinogenic effects on the lungs.
Air-Met carries a wide range of air sampling and asbestos sampling equipment from leading suppliers such as SKC Inc. to help you identify and test for asbestos in asbestos-affected sites/industries.
