Where is Asbestos Found in Museums?
A vital part of history, culture, and education, museums contain a wealth of geological specimens, ancient artifacts, and historic textiles. The age of these objects can sometimes mean they contain older materials, such as asbestos. These objects may include gas masks, fire blankets, historic clothes, etc. Museums are also often based in older historic buildings themselves, making the potential for asbestos to be present even higher.
Generally, the most common asbestos products to find in museums include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Asbestos cement sheets (particularly for roofing)
- Asbestos guttering/downpipes
- Asbestos insulation
- Asbestos floor tiles
- Asbestos in bitumen (a sealant for floor tiles)
How Dangerous is Asbestos in Museums?
All of the above products (aside from asbestos cement roofing sheets and asbestos insulation, which used a mixture of the three types of asbestos) were made out of the most common type of asbestos – chrysotile (white) asbestos.
The only serpentine type of asbestos, chrysotile is known for its curved, flexible fibres, and was widely used in the construction industry to add strength and heat resistance to various building materials. The inhalation of chrysotile asbestos, or any asbestos fibres for that matter, can pose serious health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.
