Cinnaminson, New Jersey, April 1, 2026
Asbestos, once widely used in building materials for its durability and fire resistance, remains a serious health hazard when disturbed. Still found in countless buildings, exposure to airborne fibers is linked to diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
National Asbestos Awareness Week (NAAW), taking place April 1-7, serves as an important reminder of the need for ongoing vigilance, testing, and proper safety protocols. In recognition of NAAW, EMSL Analytical, Inc., a leading provider of environmental, industrial hygiene, and materials testing services, continues to be committed to protecting workers, building occupants, and communities from asbestos exposure. Through its network of accredited laboratories, EMSL offers reliable and timely asbestos testing services for residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
