The 2012 Australian reality TV series “The Block” has served as a reminder to home renovators about the dangers of asbestos, even at low levels.
Shows such as The Block can sometimes encourage home owners to undertake renovation works.
It is imperative that if you do undertake home renovations, you firstly find out whether or not there is asbestos in your home. If there is, it should be removed in a proper and safe manner.
Low doses of asbestos can result in a person suffering mesothelioma, being a cancer of the lining of the lung or abdomen.
In the past, we have acted for many persons who developed mesothelioma following relatively low exposures to asbestos.
