Asbestos is...

Asbestos is not a word referring to a particular substance.
Asbestos grows into thin fibers among minerals.
Several types of easily crumbling properties are grouped together and referred to as asbestos.

 



Asbestos is broken into fine fiber particles and floats in the air in a fibrous state.
If it enters through the respiratory tract, it will be stuck in the lungs.
Since minerals cannot be digested, they cause inflammatory reactions to surrounding cells and lead to chronic inflammation.
But there's a more serious problem than inflammation.




Risk of asbestos.

Continuous exposure to inflammation causes suicide in surrounding cells.
Eventually, dead cells are replaced by new cells created by the division of stem cells.
To divide cells, mutations accumulate little by little.
When cells that have lost their taste in replication and growth control genes are born,
That's malignant tumors such as mesothelioma, in other words, cancer.
The reason why asbestos is a carcinogen is the same as above.


In other words, cancer occurs due to inflammation caused by lung necrosis.

Asbestos is a Greek from Roman times to the gathering, processing and use.
However, even back then, workers exposed to asbestos death has been said that earlier.

Staff who work in asbestos factories for Britain in 1924 to the modern period.
Who died of lung disease in three years found hazards of asbestos for the first time officially occur.


Asbestos is still the subway and often, in factories and construction site.
Look even schools to students, military installations.
Most in times when there were people just deal with asbestos risk and an understanding of the asbestos didn't know. Distressed because... eat roast meat with a hot grill of asbestos.

But this would be people like that in. Ignorance or insensitivity, as reasons of it.



In the United States, most people are aware of the dangers of asbestos.
Asbestos factory in India in the United States in the past without any equipment for asbestos workers to process the news coverage go.

At this time, American staff to handle the power is nuclear waste or shield themselves, a little too used in filming in.
The asbestos factory boss say that it is not monkey around with, dangerous, and pick up a handful of asbestos and asbestos at the point, but to reporters.

One reporter who was in front of the protective clothing also galvanized and I even stepped backward and landed on his buttocks.


Of course, these people don't know anything about the risks of asbestos are you acting this way.
It's just unfortunate that there was a time like this in Korea, too.


How to deal with asbestos.

What you shouldn't worry about too much is that if you leave it alone, it's not too dangerous.
However, asbestos is released as soon as it is damaged.

The winding slate (roof) that looks like a sunchip, which can sometimes be seen on the roof of an old house, is very dangerous.
It is incomparably harmful to asbestos tex in schools, so you should avoid it at all costs.

If you have no choice but to handle asbestos, spray enough water on the asbestos before handling it.
Demolition companies start demolishing asbestos after spraying water with hoses to get it wet.
It's better because the dust is reduced considerably.
Minimum equipment such as gloves and special dustproof masks is essential.
