Contencion del Asbesto

El asbesto se encuentra en todo nuestros alrededores. Productos que contienen asbesto estan presentes en hogares mas viejos, en edificios de oficinas, escuelas, bibliotecas, centros comerciales y teatros, en coches y camionetas, en los trenes y los aviones. La contencion del asbesto se realiza en un esfuerzo para remover o por lo menos para limitar la presencia de asbesto en nuestro ambiente.

La Presencia de Asbesto

Cuando las caracteristicas carcinogenas del asbesto finalmente fueron reconocidas y aceptadas en las comunidades cientificas y legales, el gobierno federal comenzo a limitar los productos que podian contener el asbesto, y proyectos de gran escala para contener el asbesto comenzaron. Sin embargo, el asbesto ya era utilizado ampliamente en miles de productos existentes y en millones de usos individuales como:

  • Yeso acustico y decorativo
  • Azulejo de piso de asfalto
  • Guarniciones del freno
  • Calafateo, masillas, compuesto del empalme
  • Azulejos del techo
  • Tubos de cemento, tablon y apartadero
  • Pizarrones
  • Pegamento de construccion
  • Los paneles del equipo del elevador
  • Materiales de contrafuego
  • Juntas o empaques
  • Calefaccion y conductos electricos
  • Aislamiento de tuberia, conductos, y de la caldera
  • Bombas
  • Ripias y fieltro del material para techos
  • Aislamiento rociado y soplado
  • Pinturas y cubiertos con textura
  • Suelo recubrimiento de paredes de vinilo

Los Proyectos de Contencion Presentan un Riesgo

Cientos de miles de edificios a traves de los Estados Unidos tienen componentes con asbesto. Asi como estos edificios envejecen y se deterioran, tambien los materiales que contienen el asbesto. Cuando el asbesto envejece o se dana, se comienza a desmenuzar. Cuando el asbesto se desmenuza, o cuando se disturba durante el proceso de contencion del asbesto (retiro), es posible que se liberen algunas fibras minusculas del asbesto al aire.
