Vermiculite Insulation in Canada: Facts You
Should Know
Vermiculite insulation in Canada that is more than 20 years old has a high risk of asbestos contamination. Health Canada and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are concerned that continual exposure could be harmful to building occupants. Asbestos is a known carcinogen that has been linked to serious illnesses such as:
- Lung cancer
- Mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity)
- Asbestosis (scarring of the thin membranes lining the lung and chest)
Often these diseases don’t surface until years after exposure.
Not many people know that:
- Two decades ago most of the vermiculite insulation in Canada came from the US, and in particular the Libby mines where the contamination occurred (1919 to 1990).
- Asbestos fibres are not visible to the naked eye and can be seen only by a trained technician under a microscope.
- Testing and removal of vermiculite insulation should only be done by certified professionals. The slightest disturbance of asbestos releases the fibres into the air increasing the risk of exposure and contamination.
