Asbestos, building professionals liked to use this substance sometimes back because of its many useful attributes. Some of its praised qualities are because the substance is super tough, highly resistant to fire and lasts for a very long time. Due to all this positive qualities builders used it for floor tiles, buildings, pipes, ceiling walls and some insulation device in the house. Asbestos had its disadvantages although it is harmless in an inert state when physically changed it releases harmful toxic particles, that poses a health threat and the use of it had to be significantly reduced.
There is a method called asbestos testing. This is a method where all Asbestos containing elements in the environment are tested and treated if found contaminated.
The process of Asbestos testing is done by highly qualified and trained professionals who uses special tools and latest technologies to test the level of Asbestos in the environment and in your household. Some of their specialized equipment is, filters which draws out asbestos from the surrounding and take it to the lab.

When Asbestos is inhaled there results too many health complication incidences such as cancer and Mesothelioma. This has made EPA ban the use of Asbestos in buildings later than 1989. There some older buildings that still contain Asbestos in the floor tiling, ceiling walls, dry walls and insulators. In addition, buildings built before 1989 are to be demolished or renovated because they are likely to contain high level of asbestos and require Asbestos testing. If the test take place and the results are positive then the company conducting the test when consulted is in a position to offer assistance and eliminate the threat.
