Episode 57: Asbestos in Soil
Manage episode 245375475 series 2546958
In this episode Linda Apthorpe, Consultant Occupational Hygienist and University Lecturer joins us to discuss the topic of asbestos in soil. Asbestos in soil can be found on a variety of properties, be it residential, commercial or recreational. It may exist for several reasons, including buildings that contained asbestos not being demolished and disposed of correctly, or asbestos contaminated soil used as topsoil or fill material. Primarily, however, asbestos containing materials find their way into the soil due to activities such as illegal dumping. Contaminated soil poses serious health risks and exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer.
