Asbestos Tiles

writer — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:43:35 +0000

Asbestos tiles is a substance made from certain naturally occurring fibers that produce strong tiles that insulate well. Because asbestos insulates and provides durability, it once commonly was used in many building materials, including floor and ceiling tiles.

Now we know that asbestos fibers can become airborne and that breathing in the asbestos particles puts a person at risk for serious and possibly fatal lung diseases, causing homeowners and business owners to use caution when they suspect asbestos.

Check the Date

Modern tile made after the 1970s probably does not contain asbestos. Those tiles that do contain asbestos are generally for industrial use and must have a label signifying that they contain asbestos. If you know your tile was installed after 1980, or was manufactured after 1980, you’re likely safe unless you have a material safety data sheet indicating otherwise.

Examine the Tile

Before 1977, Some cement and joint compounds contained asbestos. If you have ceramic tile that was installed prior to 1977 and is in good condition, don’t tear it up if you suspect that the installer used cement containing asbestos. The ceramic tile does not contain asbestos, and disturbing the tiles to check for asbestos cement could dangerously release the fibers into the air.

If your floor tile is made from vinyl or rubber and not ceramic, and was installed before 1980, it may contain asbestos. Look at the tile to determine whether it’s ceramic or another material. Even if it’s made of vinyl or rubber and may contain asbestos, it’s not dangerous to leave it intact if it’s undamaged. If you don’t plan to remodel or improve the floor, leave the tile alone.

Ceiling tiles installed prior to 1980 that are made from insulating paper may contain asbestos. Since these tiles can deteriorate and release asbestos fibers into the air, take care with these materials. If the tile is not in good shape or if you plan to replace it, you will need to have the tile tested.

Once you’ve determined that your tiles may contain asbestos, the only way to know for sure is to hire an asbestos inspector certified by the U.S. government. Choose an inspector who can document his experience in a training conducted or approved by the EPA. The inspector will carry equipment for testing the tile or will send a sample to a laboratory for testing.

Bottle or Breast

This morning I was sat on the toilet eating a sandwich when…..yes, it does sound totally gross, but it is an awareness ploy by pro breast feeding Mums to highlight the uncomfortable plight of feeding their baby in the restroom.
However, sometimes the promotion of breast feeding can go a little too far, with a London Ice Cream parlour recently serving ‘Baby Gaga’ a vanilla flavoured ice cream made from human breast milk. Needless to say this flavour was removed from the shelves by Health and Safety officials and the owner of the factory allegedly (for some reason) issues with a writ from Lady Gaga.
There is an ongoing debate in the world of Motherhood, and beyond as to whether breast or bottle feeding is preferable for you and your baby. There are pro’s and con’s for each argument, but what is particularly important is that you do what is best for you – and your baby.
Advantages of breast feeding:
It has been proven that breast feeding not only protects a baby against infection from the mother’s immune system, but also against illness and allergies, with a lower incident of SIDS from babies that are breast fed.
Babies who are breast fed have a higher IQ in general, and more advanced social and cognitive behaviour.
Studies have shown that it is beneficial to Mother’s post natal and continued health care.
Like options such as organic baby clothes, it also has beneficial implications for society as a whole, saving on food and health care benefits and is more environmentally friendly.

Of course breast feeding is not for every Mother and child, and one should not feel guilty if they are unable to feed their baby.
Breast feeding is not proven to increase a mother and child’s ‘bond’, neither should a mother feel guilt if she is unable to feed.
Some mother’s suffer infection and are unable to feed, others choose not to for social reasons. Whatever your choice, as long as your baby is happy and healthy, you know you have made the right decision.
