Sep 20, 2007 - ASBESTOS PROBLEMS AT CHICO STATE COLLEGE
Prior to its being banned in the late 1970s, asbestos was widely used in roofing, insulation, gaskets, and other products. If asbestos is disturbed, microscopic asbestos fibers become trapped in the lungs for decades without symptoms but then result in serious health problems, including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.
Many buildings on the Chico State campus in Chico, California contain asbestos. Because of the dangers of disturbing asbestos, there has been no remodeling in many of the older buildings. Students and faculty are now registering complaints about lighting problems. However, the presence of asbestos would make the repair of the lights difficult and expensive. If making the repairs requires workers to disturb asbestos-containing material, a licensed state contractor and a third-party overseer must check that required safety precautions are in place and that the work complies with all safety rules and regulations. This can cost up to $150,000, depending on the amount of asbestos that is involved.
