Ottawa has a lot of homes and structures that are quite old and beautiful, however with older home comes the reality that many do have asbestos containing material. Asbestos is a naturally occurring material that is fibrous. It became very popular as a building material due to it’s ability to be fire retardant, it’s high tensile strength, it’s resistance to chemical erosion and is an excellent insulator.
Asbestos has also been used in the auto industry, as well as in electrical appliances, and is often mixed with other materials to increase strength, and fire resistance. In most cases, if asbestos containing material (ACM) is undisturbed and is in good condition it does not present a significant exposure risk and can often be safely managed in place.
An example of common sources of exposure to asbestos are the manufacturing industry such as friction products, textiles, insulation and building materials.
