Do not touch! Inform　an Adult so that they can ensure that others will not touch or inhale it.

Asbestos materials in buildings are not dangerous if they are in good condition and not likely to be disturbed.
However, construction and renovation work will release large amounts of Asbestos fibres into the air.

Any construction or renovation should take place when the building is not occupied.

An Earthquake can damage buildings and consequently release large amounts of asbestos fibres into the air.

・Try not to inhale the Dust. 　　　

Cover your mouth with a Wet Towel. It is advisable to be prepared and have masks ready that are suitable for Asbestos.

・ Be Alert for Asbestos while any reconstruction takes place

It is equally as dangerous during the reconstruction as it is during and after an earthquake.
After an earthquake, any badly damaged building might be demolished prior to reconstruction.
Demolition and the removal of the material from damaged buildings will also release large amounts of asbestos fibres.

    

Avoid any of the dust caused by the demolition, removal or reconstruction.
