London Attacks Spark Asbestos Contamination Concerns

August 5th, 2005

The recent tragedy that hit London last month has left lasting repercussions, with many expressing concerns over the possibility of asbestos contamination resulting from the underground tube station blasts. The terrorist attacks cost a number of lives and caused many injuries as well as a great deal of damage. However, it looks as though the problems could go even further if there is asbestos contamination.

The bombs ripped through London’s famous underground at one of the busiest times of the day. The initial concerns were of course with the serious injuries, death, and destruction caused by the terrorist attacks. However, the risk of asbestos poisoning is now creating difficulties with regards to the clean-up operation.

Teams of rescuers have been frantically working in the enclosed and narrow tunnels in a bid to find bodies and clean up the area. In the event that there is asbestos contamination, this poses a risk to rescue teams in addition to the risks of structural damage, collapse, and other types of air contamination.
