This is  probably the most serious issue I have encountered during my research and the real worry is that this information may have come many years too late: I was recently talking to a construction site worker friend and he warned me about the possibility of airborne demolition dust in the Anfield expansion zone area, containing deadly asbestos particles. Imagine my surprise and shock when yesterday and again today I encounter a team of men wearing CSI type coveralls in Lothair rd conducting an asbestos survey!  "Holy Shit, that's not just coincidental, Kev (my construction friend) was right"

With Kev's words spinning around inside my head, I took the opportunity to question one of the surveyors who said the survey was being conducted on behalf of LCC via 20/20 because LFC want the properties. When I asked if he had identified any asbestos he confirmed that he had, but it was not a health risk! I then asked if the asbestos was crushed during demolition would that cause it to become airborne? Again, he confirmed - that could happen, although he went on to assured me that any asbestos he identifies would be safely removed before demolition would be allowed to commence. He also told me that he had not been informed that these properties are earmarked for demolition.

  • Will the city council tell us if any asbestos studies have been carried out in the area since the demolitions started under HMRI?

Another major concern is the multitude of arson attacks in the area that have never lead to a single criminal conviction, although that is a serious issue in itself, I believe that the fires may have polluted our environment with billions of invisible asbestos particles (the killer fire retardant ) over a sustained period of time. I have made an inquiry to the Health and Safety Executive asking if this scenario would cause environmental pollution.

I'm 99% certain that fire causes wide spread airborne asbestos pollution as it is deemed to be high risk to start bonfires on sites where asbestos has been identified and therefore that practice is banned under building regulations, health and safety laws and environmental legislation (see below).

Residents of Anfield, I do not intend to alarm anyone but this could be an environmental nightmare and could ultimately lead to countless premature deaths over a wide area and encompassing a range of age groups. Babies and the elderly would show signs of exposure to the carcinogenic airborne poison earlier than others and signs of this may have already been overlooked. I know my concerns are not misplaced and I would rather be proven wrong than overlook or disregard this important environmental safety information. I have called upon the city council to provide the community with any relevant asbestos related studies and findings.

Why have residents not 

been informed or warned about

this potential health hazard?

Asbestos is a mineral that is made up of silicon, oxygen, hydrogen and other metal ions. These needle shaped fibers are so small that they cannot be seen unless the concentration in the air is very heavy. Asbestos is an excellent material for insulation because the fibers are strong, flexible and will not burn. The three most common forms of asbestos fibers are chrysolite, amosite and crocidolite. Because asbestos is such a tiny fiber, it needs to be attached to something. When asbestos fibers are mixed with other materials, it produces what is called an asbestos containing material.

Asbestos becomes a health hazard only when these materials crumble, fall apart, are damaged or ripped. When asbestos materials are damaged, fibers are released into the air, where they may stay suspended for long periods of time. Asbestos c
ould then be inhaled and the fibers become lodge deep in the lungs.

Why have residents not been informed or warned about this potential health hazard?

Most health information on asbestos has been derived from studies of workers who have been exposed to asbestos in the course of their occupation. Asbestos fiber concentrations for these workers were many times higher than those encountered by the general public. Although the risks associated with low-level non-occupational exposure are not as well established, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concludes that there is no safe level of exposure to asbestos fibers.

Asbestos is a hidden killer that can cause four serious diseases (described below). These diseases will not affect you immediately; they often take a long time to develop, but once diagnosed, it is often too late to do anything.. I will be highlighting my concerns to the city council and feel there is an urgent need for LCC to issue
a full and transparent statement to the residents of Anfield.

  • Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a cancer which affects the lining of the lungs (pleura) and the lining surrounding the lower digestive tract (peritoneum). It is almost exclusively related to asbestos exposure and by the time it is diagnosed, it is almost always fatal. 

  • Asbestos-related lung cancer
Asbestos-related lung cancer is the same as, and looks the same as lung cancer caused by smoking and other causes. It is estimated that there is around one lung cancer death for every mesothelioma death.

  • Asbestosis 
Asbestosis is a serious scarring condition of the lung that normally occurs after heavy exposure to asbestos over many years. This condition can cause progressive shortness of breath, and in severe cases can be fatal. 

  • Pleural thickening 
Pleural thickening is generally a problem that happens after heavy asbestos exposure. The lining of the lung (pleura) thickens and swells. If this gets worse, the lung itself can be squeezed, and can cause shortness of breath and discomfort in the chest.
