Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that has been commonly used in commercial and residential construction. There are six different types of asbestos mineral fibers. Asbestos exposure has been linked to mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.

Asbestos Applications

Asbestos has been used in the manufacture of building materials and other products for centuries because of its resistance to heat and corrosion. It has especially been favored in construction for fireproofing and insulation. However, in recent years asbestos has mostly become best known for its carcinogenic properties.
