Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals consisting of long thin crystals made of microscopic fibrils that can be released into the atmosphere. This compound was initially used to strengthen and fireproof materials to make them withstand pressure and high temperature. 


However, asbestos has since been very harmful to humans and the environment. As a result, it has been annulled for use as a production component. 


However, many previously produced materials containing these harmful substances are still actively harmful until decontaminated. Asbestos waste refers to any asbestos-laced product yet to be decontaminated or ready for disposal. 


But these wastes are considered toxic and dangerous there, requiring unique disposal methods. So they are often better left to professionals, and you can always count on Metro Waste for your asbestos disposal in Adelaide. 


Effects of Poorly Disposed Asbestos 


Asbestos rank very high on the list of the most toxic waste, and it is no coincidence. This substance is dangerous for many reasons and must be treated accordingly to contain its effects. Asbestos can retain its toxic nature for several hundred years, and the fact that the contamination is easily transported adds to its threat. Here are some significant effects of asbestos exposure. 


  • Environmental Pollution:When asbestos is released into the environment during the demolition of asbestos-based structures, it quickly causes widespread pollution. It contaminates the air and makes it unbreathable while also poisoning water bodies. Residues from the substance also contaminate the soil, where they can be redistributed to the environment. 


  • Human Poisoning:Exposure to asbestos waste can subject humans to lung poisoning, which can be very lethal. This substance can either be inhaled or ingested, and the effects are not friendly. The health condition resulting from asbestos exposure include lung scarring, lung cancer, mesothelioma, kidney and throat cancer, permanent lung damage, etc.
