Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were commonly used in construction materials throughout the 20th century. Its heat-resistant properties, durability, and affordability made it a popular choice for use in building insulation, roofing, flooring, and other applications.

Unfortunately, exposure to asbestos can cause serious health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos fibers can become airborne during construction, demolition, or renovation, causing serious health risks to those who breathe in the toxic fibers.
