Mesothelioma Prevention: Managing Asbestos in Your Home


Overview


Mesothelioma is a rare and often fatal cancer linked primarily to asbestos exposure. Studies show that 70% to 80% of those diagnosed have a history of encountering asbestos-containing materials. This illness can be extremely painful and is typically fatal unless detected early.

Asbestos was commonly used in building and industrial materials, such as siding panels, roof shingles, mortar, flooring, and insulation. Unfortunately, many homes still contain asbestos. Here are some key recommendations from the EPA on how to handle asbestos safely at home:

Guidelines for Handling Asbestos


1. Leave It Intact: Generally, asbestos materials in good condition do not release harmful fibers. The risk emerges when fibers become airborne and are inhaled.

2. Regular Inspections: Frequently check for visible signs of wear in asbestos-containing materials. Avoid touching them during inspections.

3. Limit Activities: Minimize activity in areas with damaged asbestos. Keep children and pets away from such spaces.

4. Avoid Disturbance: Do not sweep, vacuum, or disturb debris that might contain asbestos. Refrain from sanding, scraping, or drilling these materials.

5. Professional Handling: Engage trained professionals for removal or major repairs. Professionals should also handle sampling, cleaning, or minor repairs.

6. Proper Disposal: Consult local health or environmental authorities for guidance on the safe disposal of asbestos materials.
