Why is regular monitoring of air quality important after asbestos removal?

Regular monitoring of air quality after asbestos removal is crucial to prevent any ongoing exposure to fiber concentrations. Asbestos fibers are known to pose serious health risks, including lung disease and cancer, when inhaled. Even a small amount of asbestos in the air can be hazardous, making it essential to ensure that the air quality returns to safe levels after the removal process. Ongoing monitoring helps to verify that the remediation efforts were successful and that the environment is clear of harmful particles, safeguarding the health of workers, residents, and anyone who may come into contact with the area in the future. This step is key in maintaining safety and compliance with health regulations.
