According to statistics, about 5000 people die because of asbestos in the UK every year. But the most unfortunate part of this matter is that most times, people fail to realise the exact cause. While asbestos offers several benefits to your home and clothing, exposure to this fibrous mineral can lead to severe diseases like cancer and lung infections. Because of this reason, the UK Government put a permanent ban on its use in construction in 1999.
When you stay in an older building with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in different parts used in the construction, the professionals of the asbestos removal company will start collecting various material samples.
Usually, the experts use scientific methods like polarized light microscopy (PLM) to examine the fibres of the minerals present in the sample.
While asbestos is visible to the naked eye, the toxic particles that enter our body through breathing are microscopic. The polarised light used in the PLM allows the experts to analyse the microscopic particles.
The PLM study also helps them determine the exact type of asbestos present in these materials and how much asbestos was used at the time of construction.
Another standard asbestos testing method used in Hampshire is air sample testing.
In most cases, you get exposed to asbestos when you breathe. Asbestos breaks down into particles, which are released into the air. When these particles enter our body, they primarily affect the lungs, so asbestos exposure leads to several throat and lung ailments.
For this reason, it becomes necessary to test the air inside your property area.
