Asbestos Hazard
Oneida county government has decided to spend roughly $21 million to eliminate asbestos from it’s office building. The building, built in 1970 at the height of asbestos use in construction, has already had the material removed from three of it’s ten floors. Senior partner Jeffrey Lichtman weighs in on the hazards of asbestos:
Asbestos in the environment is a clear hazard and danger. Owners of property have the option to take a proactive and protective step to remove asbestos from the premises or take the risk and gamble with peoples lives. We hope that the press continues to report on these issues, making the dangers associated with asbestos more well known to the public.
