Why does asbestos need to go?
Eternit, widely used in the last century, is a ticking biological bomb. As the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate warns, asbestos has a strong carcinogenic effect. Although an intact roof does not pose a direct threat, the situation changes dramatically when the material corrodes, but also when the panels are cut, crushed or broken.
Microscopic fibers are then released into the atmosphere, which, when inhaled, settle in the lungs, leading to severe cancer.
