With the passing of time, these ceiling tiles would become degraded, suffering fissures. By removing them, the asbestos fibers are disturbed and spread in the proximity of the worker that will unknowingly inhale millions of microscopic particles.
Claim EvaluationPRODUCT USE
This product was known for its durability and high resistance to extreme temperatures. Most of these characteristics were given by the mineral used in its manufacturing – asbestos.
The risk of encountering contaminated tiles was incredibly high when working in structures built before the 1980s. In time, they would naturally start to deteriorate and release millions of asbestos particles into the environment. You could have been exposed if:
