Guidance of Yokohama-shi private building sprayed asbestos measures business

Last Updated April 15, 2024

Sprayed asbestos (sprayed asbestos)

Sprayed asbestos refers to sprayed building materials that contain asbestos.

Asbestos (also known as asbestos (Ishiwata, Sekimen)) is a natural mineral fiber that has strong properties such as heat and friction, so it has been used in many buildings. However, asbestos fibers are extremely thin and light, so they are easy to float in the air and are easy for humans to inhale. Inhaled asbestos, it may remain in the lungs for a long period of time, which may cause lung cancer, asbestos lungs, malignant mesothelioma, etc.

There are two types of countermeasures that are covered by the project.
