Asbestos Industrial Material & Hazardous Waste Information | Chemical Bull

Overview

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous silicate minerals historically used in industrial materials because of their heat resistance, chemical resistance, strength, and insulating properties.

Historically, asbestos-containing materials have been used in applications such as cement sheets, insulation, gaskets, friction materials, thermal insulation, and certain industrial construction products. Because asbestos fibres can pose serious health risks when airborne, its handling requires appropriate occupational and environmental controls.

In India, asbestos-containing waste is treated as hazardous waste under the applicable hazardous-waste framework. CPCB guidance states that asbestos waste must be handled and managed in an environmentally sound manner and ultimately sent to authorized treatment, storage and disposal facilities where applicable.

Chemical Bull can provide information related to industrial chemical materials, documentation, and regulated material requirements subject to applicable Indian regulations and the specific material involved.
