Q: What does water do to asbestos?

• <div><p>Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.</p></div>

Q: Can asbestos leak from a roof?

• <div><p>Asbestos itself does not typically leak from a roof. However, if an asbestos-containing roof is damaged or deteriorated, it can release asbestos fibers into the air. This can occur when the roof is disturbed, such as during maintenance or repairs, or due to weathering over time. Exposure to airborne asbestos fibers can be harmful to health, so it is important to address any damaged asbestos roofs promptly and safely.</p></div>

Q: What are the 4 kinds of hazardous waste?

• <div><p>The four types of hazardous waste are items that are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, and toxic. Examples include gasoline, car batteries, aerosol cans, and lead-based paint, respectively.</p></div>

Q: What counts as hazardous waste?

• <div><p>The EPA broadly defines hazardous waste as any waste that could pose a danger to humans or the environment.

Some common household hazardous waste products include aerosol cans, paint cans, old tires, medical supplies, unused medications, fire extinguishers, cleaning solutions, and lawn care products.</p></div>

Q: Does an N95 mask protect against asbestos?

You will need a respirator specifically designed to protect against asbestos.
