As one school in Chapel Hill, NC found out asbestos is still a real and powerful threat. During an already arduous mold removal process at Chapel Hill High School, the floor tiles at the school were found to contain asbestos. The parents became alarmed when photos started circulating among students at the school. The photo depicted a classroom that was sealed off to students and staff for fear of asbestos contamination. As a precaution the crew working in the school took air quality tests that showed there was no threat to students or staff. The asbestos removal will continue on the weekends only, not when students are in school. The school system said it issues a notice of asbestos containing materials at its schools every year but admits older school buildings like Chapel Hill High have become a problem.
Sometimes there are wake up calls, that remind us what happened in the past still has the potential to haunt us. Despite being banned by the EPA in 1989, many facilities built after this date still contained them. Contractors were allowed to use the remaining asbestos they had in inventory. If you suspect your commercial building may contain asbestos, it is important you call a licensed asbestos removal company today. A.
