Soot: What is it and Why is it Dangerous?

Soot is a byproduct of incomplete combustion of organic matter, such as wood, coal, or oil. It consists of fine particles that can easily become airborne and be inhaled. These particles can irritate the respiratory system, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Prolonged exposure to soot can cause more serious health issues, including respiratory infections, asthma, and even lung cancer. Additionally, soot can contain toxic substances, such as carbon monoxide, heavy metals, and carcinogens, further increasing the health risks. This is a big reason why specialized cleaning of drapes, linens, furniture, and clothes is an important part of the recovery process, and why filing a soot damage insurance claim may be necessary, and something PRS can help you manage.
