Asbestos is not something any homeowner would want lingering inside the house. Barker-Whittle’s products helps with keeping asbestos out at all times.

 
[Melville, February 23, 2016] – The health risks of asbestos cannot be underestimated. Barker-Whittle helps in alleviating the problem with its asbestos-free Dulux Acratex products.

Asbestos: Where Is It Found, and How Bad Is It?

Asbestos is among the most dangerous of indoor air pollutants known to man. A naturally occurring mineral fibre found in rock and soil, asbestos is prized for its fibre strength and heat resistance, making it ideal for the manufacture of construction materials. Textured coating products are among those which used to harbour this mineral.

Buildings constructed before 1980 are likely to contain texturing laced with asbestos. A research conducted in the U.K. revealed that the mere presence of asbestos texture materials is harmless if the materials are completely intact and in good condition. The danger begins when these same materials are damaged and left in disrepair.

Once exposure levels reach a dangerous plateau, health risks abound. The respiratory system is the most vulnerable, with people exposed to asbestos having a higher risk of developing lung ailments. This includes lung cancer, mesothelioma (a rare form of cancer that affects the thin lining of the lungs, chest, and heart), and asbestosis, which is a progressive, long-term, non-cancerous lung disease.
