USA EPA Inspects Asbestos Abatement Work At Idaho Courthouse

The United States Environmental Protection Agency is inspecting asbestos abatement work being performed at Bonner County Courthouse in Sandpoint Idaho.

Ginno Construction is renovating the building and Kyron Environmental is assisting in the asbestos abatement work. Air quality analysis by EMSL Analytical has shown that no airborne asbestos exists in the building, but after receiving complaints from the public and reports about workers falling ill, the federal agency decided to perform an independent evaluation of the asbestos removal job.

The century-old building has numerous asbestos-containing products in it, including flooring and insulation. Asbestos, a mineral common in many building products, can release fibers and dust into the air when disturbed. When inhaled, an asbestos exposure can lead to a number of health problems. These include asbestosis and the following cancers: mesothelioma, lung, esophageal, gastrointestinal, laryngeal, and pharyngeal.
