FAQs
Q&A with A&J
Q: What are the risks of asbestos exposure?
If materials containing asbestos becomes damaged, asbestos fibers may become airborne and inhaled. Inhaling large amounts of asbestos fibers may cause asbestosis (lung scarring that inhibits breathing), mesothelioma (cancer of chest lining or abdominal activity) and lung cancer.
Q: What is your service area?
We are focusing on Southern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Q: Can I detect asbestos on my own?
The only way to visually confirm the presence of asbestos is if materials that contain it are labeled as such; otherwise, you can not be sure. This is why it is important to contact us immediately so that we can perform a survey of your property to determine whether or not asbestos is present.
Q: Why do we need an asbestos survey?
If you are responsible for managing the maintenance and repair of a building, you must manage any asbestos in it. As well as protecting people from exposure to asbestos fibres, you have legal duty to manage asbestos according to Ontario Regulation 278/05.
