What Is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs in rock and soil. It is made up of long, thin and fibrous crystals. Asbestos fibers are so small that a microscope is required to see them.
Inhaling or ingesting asbestos causes fibers to become trapped in the body. Over decades, trapped asbestos fibers can cause inflammation, scarring and cancer.
Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma. Asbestos also causes a progressive lung disease called asbestosis.
The mineral mainly comes from Russia, Kazakhstan and China. The toxic mineral was once mined throughout North America. Most commercial asbestos deposits contain 5% to 6% asbestos. Some deposits, such as the Coalinga deposit in California, contain 50% or more asbestos.
Types of Asbestos
There are six main types of asbestos, according to The Congressional Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986. Many more types of asbestos exist, and they are commonly called asbestiform minerals.
How Was Asbestos Used?
Companies used asbestos in building materials, insulation, fireproofing materials, brakes and more. They used asbestos because the mineral’s tough fibers could handle heat, electricity and corrosion.
Building materials contained asbestos because it was an effective insulator. Asbestos in cloth, paper, cement, plastic and other materials made them heat-resistant and stronger.
What are long term effects of Asbestos exposure?
Asbestosis
Lung Cancer
Pleural Disease
Mesothelioma
These conditions are able to develop over long periods of exposure. Prologed exposure is typically only a factor for people who openly worked with asbestos material before the government classified it as a dangerous material requiring PPE. However, there are cases where certain older homes have been majorly renovated without the proper precautions, recirculating this air without a proper decontamination could pose certain health risks.
Most of the above complications are a result of scarification of the lungs causing tissue build up, potential fluid build up, reduced breathing capacity as well as other functions of the lungs.
According to the the CDC / ATSDR, recent studies also suggest that asbestos exposure could be linked to Larynx and Ovarian Cancer, Stomach and Colorectum Cancer.

What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a mineral that was mined for several of its great properties that provided benefits to both the end user as well as the builder.
Asbestos is a great fire-retardant and can slow down the burn rate of that which it protects or is built into (plumbing, drywall and much more)
Asbestos was an affordable filler for all kinds of composite materials. Builders of many products included asbestos into their products to make them more robust.
Why is Asbestos Dangerous?
Asbestos is dangerous due to its microscopic size and needle like shape. These fibers, when inhaled will lodge themselves in your lungs, which in terms causes scar-tissue and further health complications if continuously exposed.
Contrary to popular belief, asbestos is not toxic as it doesn't contain toxins that poison or kill cells. . It is hazardous, however.
How do you safely remove Asbestos?
The Hazardous Materials or HAZMAT contractor uses a combination of containment procedures, negative air machines, wetting techniques and protective equipment to remove the asbestos.
Asbestos removal is not a question of finances but of health. Before starting a project in any home built prior to 1986, make sure to contact PatchBoyz for advice on whether or not a material may contain asbestos. We will advise for free and recommend testing if necessary.

The 3 Types of Abatement
The three types of asbestos abatement are Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3
Type 1
This abatement process is used for smaller projects with non-friable asbestos. Wetting procedures are used. PPE use is suggested. These are typically quicker jobs that can be done in a day and for certain materials only.
Type 2
The Type 2 asbestos abatement process is used for larger projects with non-friable asbestos or materials whose friability can be kept under control using substances or dust extraction devices. The area is fully contained during the work.
Type 3
The type 3 abatement process is for friable materials. This process requires a full containment with a dirty room, clean room and shower room. The containment must be kept under negative pressure at all times along with air testing before taking down the containment. This type of removal is quite expensive due to its setup and tear down requirements.
The descriptions of these asbestos removal processes are not comprehensive and do not include the different Type 2 modified possibilities that exist. Please do not attempt any of these procedures without accredited training and experience.
