Wet removal consists of pouring water and a spraying agent over the asbestos. Wherever wet removal is not practical, dry removal method is adopted. Another method is sealing of asbestos in which either the fibrous particles are prevented from entering into air by way of spraying a sealant or enclose the asbestos inside walls so as to isolate the harmful material.
