Asbestos in Building Materials

Asbestos-containing materials in older buildings can significantly endanger your health if they are damaged or removed. With our test kits, you can take samples of suspicious materials yourself, which are then analyzed in a specialized laboratory.

Asbestos was commonly used in building materials in the past, for example, in insulation, flooring, or roofing. If these materials are damaged or improperly handled, dangerous asbestos fibers can be released. These tiny fibers are not visible to the naked eye but can cause serious diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis, or mesothelioma when inhaled.

Utmost caution is advised, especially during renovations or demolition work in older buildings. Have suspicious materials analyzed early – for your safety and that of your family.

+ Asbestos Removal: Key Information

Asbestos removal is a complex process because asbestos poses a serious health risk. In buildings constructed before 1990, asbestos is often found in materials such as insulation or flooring. When removing asbestos-containing materials, strict safety precautions must be observed to prevent the release of hazardous fibers.

In its loosely bound form, asbestos is especially dangerous and requires elaborate procedures with negative pressure systems and special protective measures. Even firmly bound asbestos materials must be removed carefully and without damage. Before any remediation work begins, an analysis is carried out to determine the level of contamination.

The entire process is monitored by professionals to ensure the safety of workers and the environment. After cleaning and air testing, clearance is granted by certified experts.

+ Asbestos - Properties, Risks, and Presence

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral composed of heat- and corrosion-resistant fibers. Due to these properties, it was widely used in the construction industry. However, inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer and asbestosis. Over 50 countries have now banned asbestos. Asbestos was used in products like pipe insulation and ceiling tiles. It primarily comes from Russia, Kazakhstan, and China. In Switzerland, asbestos has been banned since 1989. If asbestos is suspected in apartments, landlords are required to take action.
