Question:

After how long you can move in the place in wich asbestos cement was removed from?


Answers:

If it was removed professionally you can move right back in, not all asbestos needs to be removed to make a place safe to live in, it is only airborne asbestos that will harm you, you can touch it or eat it without risking asbestosis. Asbestos is not toxic, it is a mineral which was used as a binder in cement and lose fiber insulation material, and it is in this, the short fibrous, form that it is most dangerous, most easily inhaled. Asbestos was used in clutch pads and brake pads until recently, which is why it is not good to breath near major roads and intersections as the dust may still be present and become airborne in dry weather. There are many things out there that will kill you much faster than asbestos, ignorance for one. If an amateur has attempted to remove the asbestos from your house it may now be heavily contaminated and then it would never be safe as asbestos is very durable and can last in the environment indefinitely, even though mostly it will mix with dirt and become stabilized. Be careful not to disturb insulation around pipes or any lose gray fiber fills in the attic space of your house, also try to avoid breaking sheets of the older fibro cement and you should be alright.
