Asbestos: What Every Real Estate Professional Should Know

Description

Join us on October 20th at noon for this important webinar with internationally recognized author and expert in environmental science and engineering, Dr. Dan Vallero. In this webinar, Dr. Vallero will discuss the hazards and risks of asbestos exposure from scientific, engineering, and health perspectives. He will share a brief history of how knowledge has grown, from a time when asbestos fibers were considered to be an essential part of industrial, commercial, and residential building projects given their utility in fireproofing, structural, and handling properties. In recent decades, the view has changed as research and experience have shown the many hazards of asbestos and other fibers, especially lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. The discussion will also consider case studies, including the World Trade Center disaster, Libby vermiculate mining, and asbestos-containing materials in waste sites. Don't miss it. Register now!
