Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in various products due to its heat resistance and durability. It is composed of fine, needle-like fibers that can break apart and become airborne if disturbed, creating a serious health risk if inhaled. Once inside the body, these fibers can cause mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, as well as other diseases such as asbestosis and lung cancer.

Asbestos has been used in many different building materials, including:

• Roofing tiles and shingles
• Insulation materials
• Ceiling tiles
• Floor tiles
• Wallboard and plaster
• Brake pads and linings
• Electrical wiring
