The harmful effects of california asbestos were not discovered until several years ago. By that time, california asbestos was already widely used for a variety of industrial purposes. Being fire resistant, flexible and strong, asbestos was widely used as an insulation material before being regulated in the past decade.

California asbestos was regulated for the reason of asbestos fibers being carcinogenic when inhaled. Diseases like malignant mesothelioma, asbestos lung cancer and asbestosis are some of the asbestos related diseases.

One good example of this is asbestos in artex which was widely used as a coating for interior surfaces of the house. Because of the relative frequency of the use of this material in the construction of the common rooms in old style houses, the number of asbestos related diseases have increased before its use was regulated.

Asbestos used in places where it cannot generate any dust that can be inhaled however does not pose any threat to its human occupants.

The asbestos in artex can also be removed safely if you know the proper way of doing it. Of course, while doing this, you must take great precaution in not generating any dust that can be inhaled. For this, a wet artex remover needs to be applied to the surface. To be safe, you can avail of the services of asbestos removal companies to be free of this threat.

Nevertheless, more and more victims of asbestos materials have engaged in asbestos litigation over the years and have resulted in the closing down of many asbestos companies. Asbestos litigation lawyers have helped the victims a lot in getting some compensation for the life changing diseases they have acquired from exposure to these materials.

Manufacturers of asbestos related products like abatement technologies have also helped a lot in providing equipments that minimize or remove the danger of exposure to these types of materials.
