	Asbestos Information - Abatement
		Asbestos abatement is the process through which asbestos containing building materials are evaluated for integrity to determine whether they should be removed or steps should be taken to minimize the health risks associated with asbestos.
		Asbestos abatement should only be conducted by a specialist, because the proper precautions must be employed in order to avoid compounding asbestos health risks.
		It used to be common in asbestos abatement to remove all asbestos materials as a matter of course.

		Asbestos is the name applied to six naturally occurring minerals that are mined from the earth.
		Asbestos pipe and boiler insulation does not present a hazard unless the protective canvas covering is cut or damaged in such a way that the asbestos underneath is actually exposed to the air.
		If, you discover some sprayed-on asbestos insulation has been knocked off of a ceiling or wall, this would be considered a "spill." As such it would need to be cleaned up immediately by asbestos abatement workers.
