Asbestos in Concrete?
Yes. Asbestos isn’t just found in insulation it was mixed into concrete for strength and fire resistance. That means older buildings might hide a threat beneath the surface.
Why It Matters in Concrete Cutting?
Once airborne, asbestos fibers can be inhaled and stay in the lungs for years, leading to:
- Asbestosis
- Lung cancer
- Mesothelioma
Where does Asbestos Hides in Concrete Work?
Watch out for asbestos in:
- Precast panels
- Fireproof coatings
- Old underground pipes
Even simple cuts or drills can disturb these materials and release fibers.
