This is good news - the EPA has taken additional measures to protect children from lead based paint. They've announced a new limit on dust-lead clearance levels (DLCL) for floors and window sills after abatement activities. These limits haven't been changed in two decades - it's great to see them tightening restrictions now. Lead poisoning is incredibly harmful, especially to young children. #leadpaint #leadpaintpoisoning #poisoning #healthrisk #safetyfirst #staysafe #healthrisk #epa #newrestrictions #restoration #abatement #leadpaintremoval #vancouver #mapleridge #coquitlam https://www.jdsupra.com//further-focus-on-lead-based-pain/

Asbestos was routinely added to thousands of building materials before 1990. It really was regarded as a miracle mineral - unfortunately this means there is a lot of legacy asbestos for us to deal with now. Homes and buildings constructed prior to 1990 are very likely to have asbestos containing materials lurking somewhere within. Asbestos removal and disposal needs to be handled by a professional abatement company. This mineral has been recognized as a carcinogen, and needs ...to be dealt with accordingly. No amount of asbestos exposure is safe.

While asbestos isn't being added into construction materials these days, we're still dealing with the legacy asbestos that can be found in homes and businesses.

It requires training, specific safety equipment and procedures, as well as containment setups. We're here to help!

This company is trying to dodge liability in this mesothelioma claim. Given the following information, it's surprising that was their approach. "According to evidence submitted to the court, in 1959 a Conwed memorandum identified the dangers of asbestos, but the company provided no warnings about the dangers of the material for those working in their environment. The company stopped manufacturing the asbestos-containing ceiling tile in 1974 and sold the mill and left Minneso...ta in 1985." #asbestos #asbestosexposure #banasbestos #asbestosawareness #mesothelioma #cancer #carcinogen #healthrisk #healthandsafety #corporation #ceilingtile #litigation #liability #minnesota https://mesothelioma.net//asbestos-manufacturer-attempts-/
