Dangerous Asbestos

There are several types of Asbestos. Some are mixed into the building materials and some are sprayed.
Sprayed-Asbestos is extremely dangerous. It looks like cotton (see picture).

If you find something that looks like cotton in old building or construction site, then stay away from it.

If sprayed Asbestos is damaged large amounts of Asbestos fibres will be released into the air.
Do not throw balls or anything else against sprayed asbestos.

Do not touch any dust on the floor.
Asbestos that has been mixed into the building materials are difficult to identify.

Therefore do not play with building materials as they might contain asbestos.
