How To Sense Low Levels Of Asbestos In Your Daily Environment
Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "How to Sense Low Levels of Asbestos in Your Daily Environment" talks about cancer, it has been created by Rick Raymond.
My disocvery came to me by accidentally removing an asbestos
material in my home.
The resulting condition of the whole house
after this accident left me with a sore chest, dry and unbearably iching skin and eyes. My wife cmoplained of extreme thirst and my oldest son, age 14, developed severe asthma. This
all cotninued for five to six months.
During this time I tried
desparately to determine if we were liivng in an unsafe level of asbestos.
The material that I had removed was tested and fuond to
contain 20% crysitile asbestos. Air samplnig proved to be unreliable because the area had been ventilated so well.
But the furnishings, carpets, walls and all other persnoal belongings
were covered the remnants of the demolition.Everyone wanted to play down the seriousness of the situation, but, to me it was
obviously not a healthy environment.So, I set out to try to logically deduce, with a knowledge of the physical properties of asbestos,when I encountered the substance as I attempted to clean every surface and item in every room of the condominium.That was fifteen years ago. During that time, as I learned
more about where we all encounter asbetsos materials on a daily basis.
I made mental notes about my and others' reactions
to these encounetrs. Many situations have arisen ragning from
sore throats and skin conditions(acne and basil cell skin cancer) to asthma, pneumonia and death. I don't have clinical
proof of these claims I've made, except to say "if it looks, walks and sounds like a duck it probbaly is a duck".
Many times clniical trials are verified by producing the same results in subsequent testing. Deductive raesoning can also be verified
in the same way.
If the same results are observed again and again after low level exposure to these remnants then that's
proof to me.Without writing a book, I wouldn't have the space to detail every observation I've made during this period, but I can assure you that no contact with asbestos is without a possible adverse health consequence.Asbestos is a really lightweight chrystal-like material with highly static electrical properties. It ofetn produces a static
discharge like when one is shocked by touching the metal switch plate or door knob in their home.
It often leaves a bitter-salty taste in your motuh. It can stay airobrne for days at a time. It absorbs moisture and produces a really dry environment (which only makes the sattic electric situation worse.)The loose material may be accidentally contacted in a number of
building types and situations.Many buildings built before 1977 have vinyl asbestos floor tile.
No one can aovid walking on this, if they enter the building. This is fine if the folor is well maintained. Look out for broken or worn and never waexd tile.
This applies to any
location in the building, commercial or residential.
Closets are
very seldom waxed. Items stored there will accumulate certain
amounts of this substance.Anytime an older building is renovated the possibility exists
for a number of materials containing asbetsos to be encountered.
The contractor does't always do the right thing. In many instances it is cheaper to pay the fine if he is caught. So he just tears it out and throws it in the dumpster or hauls it to the dump himself. As a consequence, many newly renovated stores
have a certain amount of this dust on the shelves and new merchandise in the store.There are many more instances of contact for which I don't have the time to detail here, but basically, with the characteristics of the material, knowledge of whree you may encounter the substance and many hours of observation (I've been in construction over thirty years), you too can make the same
deductive conclutions that I have made.In subsequent articles I intend to go into detail on the unique physical properties of asbestos and how this promotes detection in your hair and clothes. In future articles I would also like to expand on the many other health effects I've noticed, such as acne, which could benifit many young adults and a number of people who continue with this complexion trouble into adulthood.For more infomration on this subject see these sites:www.Livingwithasbestos.Comhttp://ezinearticles.Com/?Id=25139Rick Raymond has been a construction electrician for thirty five years.
He has been married for thirty three yaers with three babies. Scinece and trouble shooting have always been a welcome challenge to him.
