Q: Can asbestos be absorbed through the skin?

• <div><p>While asbestos can&rsquo;t be directly absorbed through the skin&mdash;the fibers are too big&mdash;skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional for asbestos abatement?

• <div><p>Ensures comprehensive removal and adherence to safety regulations, protecting health.</p></div>

Q: What are the risks of drilling into asbestos siding?

• <div><p>It is not recommended that you drill into asbestos siding, as you could release its hazardous fibers into the air. The best way for dealing with asbestos-containing materials is to have a professional remove or encapsulate it.</p></div>

Q: Do all gravity furnaces have asbestos?

• <div><p>No, but it&rsquo;s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren&rsquo;t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn&rsquo;t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.</p></div>

Q: Is asbestos still used in siding?

• <div><p>Since the EPA partially banned asbestos use in 1989, it is not commonly used in siding in the United States. Many other countries, such as Iceland, Canada, and Denmark, also have bans on asbestos. However, asbestos siding is still present in homes built before the late 1980s. Remember, the only surefire way to know if <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-can-i-tell-if-house-has-asbestos.htm">your home or siding contains asbestos</a> is to have it lab-tested by a professional. </p></div>
