Asbestos is a hazardous material that was commonly used in the construction industry in the past. It was widely used because of its heat-resistant and insulating qualities. However, over time, it was discovered that asbestos can pose serious health risks to people who are exposed to it. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and be inhaled, causing lung problems such as asbestosis and mesothelioma.

Therefore, if you suspect that your building contains asbestos, it is important to have it removed by a professional asbestos removal company as soon as possible to protect yourself and others from the risks of asbestos exposure.
