asbestos toxic
M.D.F Board??
What is MDF made from that makes it so toxic…… said to be more dangerous than asbestos?? If so why is asbestos mainly banned & handled by specialist removal companies whilst everybody has access to MDF & used in just about every home in the land?
MDF board is essentially the byproducts of saw mills glued and pressed together. These board are almost as strong as plywood but with less cost. The toxicity of them is derived from the glues, resin, etc as stated in an earlier message. While the toxins in these boards can be hazardous, they generally are not released into the environment unless the board becomes soaked for long periods of time and then you’d practically have to drink the water to get enough toxins to be hardfull.
Asbestos is another thing all together. Asbestos was found to be extremely fire retardent years ago and the thought back then was to use is in somewhat the same fashion as MDF but for more lightweight things ceiling tiles, insulation, etc. The problem with Asbestos is that along with being toxic it is also micro-pariticle based. Which means that when an Asbestos based product is broken or burned these particles are released into the air. These small microscopic particles then float along into unsuspecting lungs creating all sorts of problems such as lung cancer and asbestosis.
Hope this answered your question!
