Asbestos is a material that was commonly used in building materials up until the 1990s. It was used in many products, including insulation, roofing materials, and floor tiles. Asbestos can be dangerous because it can break down into tiny fibers that can be inhaled into the lungs. These fibers can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos disposal is essential to ensure that hazardous materials are properly handled and disposed of in a safe and responsible manner. When asbestos-containing materials are disposed of in a landfill, they can pose a risk to the environment and public health. Proper asbestos disposal ensures that the asbestos is safely removed and transported to designated disposal sites.
