Angelina Sampieri, The Healthy Abode

Many people may be surprised to know that many homes in the GTA built before 1980 likely contain asbestos-containing materials, lead paint, mercury, benzene, and silica. Testing your home for these hazards before renovation or demolition is crucial for homeowner and worker safety. The Healthy Abode’s presentation will clarify homeowner responsibilities, highlight common building materials that may contain these hazards, explain the designated substance survey (DSS) process, and invite questions and discussion. Join us to ensure the safety of your home and those involved in your projects. We'll provide practical tips and resources for managing these risks effectively.
