Croom Asbestos Removal

The suburb of Croom has a rich history, with many of its buildings and structures dating back to the mid-20th century when asbestos was commonly used in construction. Asbestos was widely used in Croom’s public facilities, infrastructure, and particularly in the construction of its residential homes, which are predominantly of the Federation and Californian Bungalow style. Notable landmarks such as the Croom Community Centre, the Croom Public School, and the Croom Railway Station were all built during this period and are known to have used asbestos in their construction. The use of asbestos in these structures was most prevalent from the 1940s through to the late 1980s, when the health risks associated with asbestos became widely recognized and its use was subsequently banned.

Today, the presence of asbestos in Croom presents a significant public health challenge. The health implications of asbestos exposure, including the risk of developing lung diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, are well-documented. Prominent locations such as the Croom Public School and the Croom Community Centre have been the focus of asbestos management efforts by local authorities. Measures have been taken to safely remove and dispose of asbestos-containing materials from these sites, and regular inspections are conducted to monitor for any signs of asbestos disturbance. In addition, public awareness campaigns have been launched to educate residents about the risks of asbestos exposure and the importance of professional asbestos removal. Despite these efforts, there have been several reported incidents of asbestos-related health issues in Croom, underscoring the ongoing risk posed by the presence of asbestos in the suburb.
