Asbestos Removal by Thermochemical Conversion
Posted on April 21st, 2009 in Asbestos News, Mesothelioma News |
Thermochemical conversion is a recently developed method to aid the removal of asbestos especially in extensive projects. The method uses chemicals and heat which changes asbestos into volcanic materials that doesn’t release toxic fibers. EPA validates it as an option to dispose asbestos although it doesn’t confirm if the agency has released a complete authorization for asbestos abatement undertakings. Pennsylvania may have a use for this method in clearing a 60-acre location polluted with asbestos which may take 10 years long in order to clear around 3 million tons of asbestos spanning three municipalities.

This is pretty interesting. Maybe if the word gets out more places will be willing to clean up the asbestos in buildings in a safer way. Mesothelioma Treatment Centers will be happy to hear that there are new methods to cleaning up asbestos.

Your article really caught my attention.It really interest me a lot.I supposed this Thermochemical conversion is still under nanotechnology.
