A man in Auburn, Washington disregarded Clean Air Act regulations by knowingly letting untrained workers remove asbestos from a building.  He ended up with a 30-day prison sentence and a $100,000 fine. Don’t let this happen to you! If you have asbestos that needs to be removed let the experts handle it. It is not only illegal but also hazardous to human health if someone other than a certified professional removes asbestos. This is because once asbestos fibers get into the air they can be inhaled by humans and cause lung diseases such as asbestosis and lung cancer.  To read about the asbestos case in Auburn, Washington click here.
