Asbestos Exposure From Ceiling and Floor Tiles


Asbestos-containing ceiling and floor tiles can pose serious health risks if the asbestos is disturbed and released into the air:

Asbestos ceiling tiles

These tiles are considered friable, meaning they crumble easily and release asbestos fibers. They can be disturbed by falling, crushing, drilling, or other damage.

Asbestos floor tiles

These tiles are considered non-friable, but they can release asbestos fibers if they are ground, broken, or cut.

Health risks

Asbestos is a carcinogen that can cause cancer, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Even low levels of exposure can be harmful.

Other ways asbestos can be disturbed include: Water damage, Natural disasters, Continuous vibration, and Aging.
