Illegal dumping of asbestos waste is a serious problem - not only for the city, but also for all of the residents living in the area. Illegal dumping can lead to people being exposed to asbestos fibres without their knowledge, it can contaminate water sources, and wildlife sometimes get into it. If you need help figuring out what to do with your asbestos waste, don't hesitate to reach out! We can recommend companies that are able to haul it away for you whether you have one ...bag or 50. #asbestos #asbestoswaste #demolition #renovation #restoration #homeimprovement #dumping #homeowner #contractor #illegaldumping #vancouver #wasteremoval #carcinogen #hazmat #hazardousmaterials https://bc.ctvnews.ca/dozens-of-bags-marked-caution-asbesto

The town of Asbestos in Quebec officially has a new name! There has been some controversy within the town when it came to picking out a new name. #asbestos #quebec #canada #newname #town #bigchange #poll https://www.cnn.com//city-of-asbestos-canada-re/index.html

This is a really important area of research to gain some clarity. Asbestos exposure is a serious matter regardless of age, but the more we know about its impacts on our health, the better. This is a good reminder for parents to be incredibly careful when doing home renovation projects. If your home was built before 1990, you need to have it tested for asbestos before disturbing any construction materials.

What a great visual! This really helps to give homeowners an idea of how widespread the use of asbestos was in construction materials. If you live in a home built prior to 1990 there’s a good chance that no room in your home is free of asbestos. The only way to know for sure if a material contains asbestos is to send a sample in for analysis. If you’re considering a renovation we strongly recommend conducting a hazardous materials survey before getting started. Want to learn ...more or schedule your survey?

This is why it's so important to test for asbestos before beginning any work that may disturb asbestos containing materials. Prior to 1990 asbestos was very routinely added into thousands of materials used in construction. You'll also find asbestos exposure risks present in many other trades. It pays to be aware and know what you're dealing with - it's the only way to keep yourself healthy. #asbestos #mesothelioma #asbestosawareness #healthrisk #safetyfirst #trades #constru...ction #renovation #restoration #hazmat #hazardousmaterials #asbestostesting #vancouver #coquitlam #portcoquitlam #mapleridge #vancouver https://www.newsoptimist.ca//chitek-lake-man-raises-awaren

Asbestos used to be such an incredibly popular material - especially for homes and buildings.

Illegal dumping of asbestos is a huge concern. Not only does it leave a mess the city is then responsible for cleaning up, but the health risks to everyone in the area are huge!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at ProHazTech!

Many people are following this one closely - waiting and hoping that the proposed Asbestos Ban Bill will go be passed in congress. We've known for many years now exactly how dangerous exposure to asbestos fibres is, and many want to see the mineral banned. #asbestos #mesothelioma #cancer #carcinogen #healthrisk #safetyfirst #exposure #hazmat #hazardousmaterials #congress #newbill #newlaw #banasbestos #asbestosawareness https://mesothelioma.net//mesothelioma-families-watch-and/

We're approaching Mesothelioma Awareness Day on Sept. 26th. Let's bring more awareness to the fact that many schools contain hazardous materials such as asbestos, and in some of those schools these asbestos containing materials are damaged and pose a serious health risk to students and staff. #hazmat #hazardousmaterials #asbestos #asbestostesting #asbestosremoval #remediation #abatement #school #keepourkidssafe #safetyfirst #staysafe #awareness #prevention #asbestosawareness #mesothelioma https://uspirg.org//lets-use-mesothelioma-awareness-day-re

This is exactly why it is so important to always test for hazardous materials before beginning any type of renovation or restoration work in an old home.

Did you know that this Coronavirus can live on surfaces for hours and even days depending on the type of material it lands on? That means you can potentially get sick from people that previously occupied the same physical space as you. This is an important realization for businesses that are still operating, apartment buildings with their many shared living spaces, and households where a family member has contracted Coronavirus.

Asbestos's fire resistant properties is one of the things that was most loved about this mineral. It's one of the main reasons it was added into so many materials and products. Prior to 1990, it was added to over 3,000 common building materials alone. This has left us with quite the asbestos legacy to deal with today. #asbestos #asbestosawareness #beinformed #mesothelioma #cancer #lungcancer #healthrisk #safetyfirst #staysafe #hazmat #hazardousmaterial #roofing #fireproof #fireresistant

Experts say the standard asbestos exposure in Quebec is too high despite sever protective measures that are currently in place. There is no safe level of asbestos exposure, so anything that can be done to reduce exposure is of benefit to public health and safety. #asbestos #asbestosexposure #asbestosawareness #hazmat #hazardousmaterials #healthandsafety #quebec #mesothelioma #cancer #healthrisk #exposure #carcinogen #mining https://www.cbc.ca//can/montreal/quebec-asbestos-1.5685615

It's surprising to learn that the acceptable asbestos exposure in the workplace in Quebec is so different from the rest of the country. Hopefully as light is shed on this issue, a change will be made to protect people while they're at work. Exposure to asbestos fibres is a serious risk to health, and needs to be taken incredibly seriously! Asbestos fibres are impossible to see with the naked eye, and have no smell or taste, so workers don't necessarily know when they are being exposed to this carcinogen. Measures need to be put in place to protect workers. #hazmat #hazardousmaterial #workplacesafety #healthandsafety #carcinogen #asbestos #asbestosexposure #asbestosawanress #regulation #canada #quebec

Hmm this is definitely good for people to be aware of.

This is really interesting research regarding the effects of lead poisoning in the body, especially in children.

Ship-breaking is something most of us probably don't ever think about, but it's important for us to be aware of what is happening with ships when they come to the end of their serviceable life.

Coronavirus has touched every aspect of our lives - it has impacted our everyday life, many have lost their jobs, everyone is concerned for their health and safety, and the courts are also being affected. This one judge in West Virginia is urging parties to settle outside of court to avoid a "dreadful" covid-era trial. The impact of Covid-19 on asbestos related trials is yet to be seen.
