George Kourkounakis, President of ALR, previously owned AAA Asbestos Abatement. AAA’s asbestos license was revoked by the NYS Dept. of Labor.<br /></p><p>On at least five separate occasions, ALR has been found performing dry removal of asbestos. According to the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, dry removal is “considered to be the most serious infraction under the Asbestos Rules.”</p><a href="http://keepsagsafe.com/uploaded_images/dry-removal-graph-751215.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="170" alt="" src="http://keepsagsafe.com/uploaded_images/dry-removal-graph-751193.jpg" width="236" border="0" /></a> Dry removal of asbestos creates a much greater chance that the asbestos will break and the fibers will become airborne. This greatly increases the chance that a worker or a member of the general public will breathe in this carcinogen. <p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">As this graph shows, the airborne asbestos level spikes tremendously when illegal dry removal ("ripping &amp; skipping") is performed. </span><a href="http://www.asbestostrip.co.uk/asbestos.htm"><span style="font-size:85%;">Click here</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> for more information.<br /></p></span><p></p>elikenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02187617240359461651noreply@blogger.com
