Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Rovaniemi
In the city on the Arctic Circle, many detached and terraced houses went up in the lean years after the war, and their floor tiles, adhesives and pipe insulation may contain asbestos. Detach a small piece of the suspect material, seal it in a bag and send it to Onelab from Rovaniemi - we do not need a visit on site. The postal journey from the banks of the Kemijoki is effortless.

Why Onelab
A reliable laboratory throughout Finland
The post-war building stock of Rovaniemi
Rovaniemi was almost entirely destroyed in the Lapland War in 1944 and rebuilt from the late 1940s onward. This means that practically the whole building stock of the city dates from exactly the decades when asbestos was used most in construction. Typical locations are floor adhesives, wall fillers, pipe insulation and facade panels.
Winter and moisture in the sample
A sample taken in freezing weather can become damp when it moves from cold to warm. Let the sample reach room temperature before bagging it and make sure no condensation is trapped inside the bag. Moisture does not prevent the analysis, but it slows down handling at the laboratory.
