Asbestos removal should not be attempted by an amateur. Improperly handling asbestos can cause microscopic particles to become airborne, quickly transmitting, and contaminating surrounding areas. When inhaled, the fibers can cause lung irritation and sickness. Prolonged exposure to asbestos at home or work can even result in cancer and lung disease.
