If you suspect contaminated mulch
- Stop raking, mowing or disturbing the area.
- Keep children and pets off it and wet it lightly to reduce dust if needed.
- Book sampling. We collect representative samples from across the area.
- If asbestos is confirmed, use a licensed removalist and keep the report for council or supplier claims.
Asbestos in mulch
EnviroForce offers mulch testing services across Australia to ensure a healthier, asbestos-free environment for all
EnviroForce provides thorough mulch sampling and testing services to mitigate the health risks associated with asbestos contamination.
Asbestos, once widely used in building materials for its strength and fire resistance, now casts a long shadow due to its devastating health effects. This mineral, composed of microscopic fibres, can become airborne when disturbed, lodging deep within the lungs. Over time, these fibres can trigger serious illnesses, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
While asbestos use has been heavily restricted in Australia, its legacy lingers in recycled materials like mulch. Unfortunately, some mulch production processes inadvertently incorporate remnants of asbestos-containing materials, posing a potential risk to anyone who comes into contact with it.
