Recognizing asbestos can be quite difficult. Most people know the example of corrugated sheets from roofs, but other building materials can also contain asbestos. Are you doing construction or renovation in a house built before 1994? Be wary of asbestos. Asbestos fibres can be freed by damaging material containing asbestos (by breaking, drilling or sawing for example). Breathing in these fibres can be bad for your health. Almost all applications of asbestos have been prohibited since 1993.

Asbestos can be present in corrugated sheets, old pipes for heating and sewer, old heater pipes, bathroom sheets and windowsills.
