    Wow, you really need to learn about respirators before giving advice. Those respirators you've shown are great for asbestos work, but both would need the proper filter. You've shown them with black cartridges which filter out organic vapors. They do not stop particulates, such as asbestos. For asbestos, you need purple or magenta filters (P100/N100/R100). Yes, you have a particulate PRE filter on one cartridge, but that is not rated for asbestos. And an orange or lemon for fit testing? Come on. You are putting people at risk with this nonsense.

    1) For a worker on a job, it is illegal and unsafe to use either of these respirators with a beard. Homeowners can do what they want, but they have to know that they will not be protected with that beard. 2) Both respirators he shows are for organic vapors, they is not effective or legal for asbestos dust, you need P100 or HEPA filter cartridges instead, 3) Using a lemon to test the fit is not great, there are better tests you can do just with your hands, which are still not sufficient, but better than a lemon.

      Certified asbestos Inspector, supervisor and Air Sampler here. It is safe to touch you just need to wash your hands after. Inhaling and ingesting is only way it has adverse health effects on human body. Now you could argue that touching it, and then touching your mouth may cause the ingestion to happen, but thats why you must wash hands immediately after. Using gloves is recommended!

      @@meandnature6452 good question. Where I'm from to be considered Friable it has to, when wet, crumble under hand pressure and contain greater than 1% asbestos. When you touch it, you should wet it down first to help lock the fibers down. Keep the touching to the absolute minimum you can to make the determination. If a small amount of fibers get released its not really a major deal. There are permissible exposure limits that are considered safe. Alot of people are actually exposed daily and they don't even know it. In America its still used in various products such as brake pads on cars. If your standing on a city street corner and cars and busses are stopping for traffic lights there is most likely asbestos fibers floating around in the air. When working in bigger cities we actually have to establish an alternative air quality standard because the existing air is already considered contaminated. And we need to just show were not making it any worse doing our work.

    I really dislike dealing with those outlets. Although we don't have them here in Japan, so I only have to deal with them stateside. Japanese outlets tend to be either 2 plug sockets, or they will have a slot to plug in ground wires, and the power cable will have a green ground coming out of the 2 plug with a flat crescent moon shaped end bit of you need that. I don't believe I've seen the triple plug outlets except for appliances. Or at least here in Tokyo, Kyoto and western Japan are on a different power setup, so they might have different outlets too.

    What do you do if there is mold (not black mold) on the asbestos tile. Can you Bleach it before encapsulating it? Also can you seal the tile with something? Tile is in my kitchen and mold is on tiles near sink and dishwasher area. Thanks for your help.

    • @inspectordaggett
      @inspectordaggett ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a product call RMR86 which is a peroxide-based solution. I would recommend cleaning with that Problem is if you have mold on the surface there is a chance you may have mold under the tiles as well. So if you simply clean the top surface then you may be leaving the mold and it may come back on the surface and become a greater issue. You may be best service by having the asbestos tiles removed especially if they have been flooded. I would recommend talking with a qualified contractor to determine what the best approach is. If removal is needed I would strongly recommend paying a professional to do the removal. Hope this helps.

    • @heather2418
      @heather2418 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds like a fun project! Just be careful. Always mask up, wear gloves and a disposable suit. And remember they used asbestos in damn near everything back then. Even grout can have it. Any flooring glued down can have it. Drywall can have it. HVAC tape, shingles, the heat shield above the furnace, insulation.....it's actually a long list. So anything at all where you are possibly making dust or getting fibers airborne, just think twice and do lots of research. Some of the jobs you can safely DIY, but some of them you absolutely cannot. And depending on where you live, it may be illegal to do it yourself even if you follow safety procedures. Good luck to you!

    All due respect, but you should NEVER even touch the stuff without a mask and gloves. And if you are going to touch it, you must wet it down, really soak it, drench it. Wet asbestos is relatively safe to work with. as long as it doesn't get airborne, you can safely remove it with water and gloves and tools. You scrape the wet stuff off, put it in a plastic bag, change gloves, put those gloves and the plastic bag in a second plastic bag and you are done. But touching dry asbestos for this video? Yikes. All you have to do now is rub your eye, touch your mouth/nose, or pick up a sandwich and eat it, and you have officially put enough asbestos into your system to kill you in another decade or two. Asbestosis takes as little as a spec, the size you can fit on a pin. I have had several co-workers die of it. Most worked with it a lot over the years, but a couple guys died of it and can't remember ever touching it, but knew it was on sites they'd worked. This stuff ought not to be touched. Really, wet it down first, please. ( I restore old houses for a living.)
