What is Anthrax?

Anthrax is a rare but serious bacterial disease. In buildings, it can be associated with historic construction materials and animal products (like hides, wool, or hair). Although uncommon, the risks are significant enough to warrant proper sampling and testing.

Where Could Anthrax Be Found?

  • Old plaster, lath, or renders (especially pre-1950s buildings)
  • Animal product-based insulation or textiles
  • Imported hides, wool, or hair in storage
  • Historic sites or agricultural properties
