Understanding the Risks of Asbestos Fire Doors

Historically, asbestos was incorporated into fire doors for its fire-resistant properties. However, when these materials deteriorate or are disturbed, they can release hazardous fibers into the air, posing serious health risks such as mesothelioma and asbestosis . Identifying asbestos in fire doors is challenging, as it is often concealed within the door’s core, making professional assessment and removal essential.
