Asbestos is a natural mineral that was extensively mined and widely used during the 20th century. It was incorporated into a vast range of products, from insulation to roofing, due to its excellent heat-resistant properties. Unfortunately, being exposed to this mineral can cause devastating health complications, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. As such, owning a property containing asbestos can be dangerous, which is why it is crucial to dispose of it responsibly.
