Products Containing Asbestos
Did you know that many everyday products contain Asbestos?
Asbestos can sometimes be found in the following:-
| Mastics | Electrical Heaters | Sealants |
| Refrigerators | Adhesives | Dish Washers |
| Cold Stores | Textured Coatings (Artex) | Paint |
| Gas Heaters | Radiators | Thermoplastic Floor Tiles |
| PVC Floor Tiles | Linoleum | Underlays |
| Automobiles | Wall Plugs | Storage Heaters |
| Roof Felt | Promenade Tiles | Toilet Cisterns |
| Water Tanks | Flower Boxes | Stair Noisings |
| Cookers | Ironing Boards | Plaster |
| Gaskets and Ropes | Damp Proof Course |
Normally the Asbestos content in these products is low - or even a trace.
Typicall White Asbestos (Chrysotile) has been used, however Brown Asbestos (Amosite) and Blue Asbestos (Crocidolite) are not uncommon.
The risk to health from these products can be considered low, but damage and uncontrolled removal can give rise to elevated fibre release.
