  2. When was your property built? Is it built before the 1980s? Does it have asbestos? You better find out. Especially, when you have any renovation plan there. A building with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) needs special care when it comes to renovating. Fibrous materials are dangerous and have many health risks. http://asbestoswatchwollongong.com.au/asbestos-removal/

  3. What is asbestos? Asbestos is a term for a group of six naturally occurring mineral fibres belonging to two groups: Serpentine Group – comprised of only chrysotile (white asbestos) Amphibole Group – comprised of anthophyllite, amosite (brown asbestos or grey asbestos), crocidolite (blue asbestos), tremolite, and actinolite.
