Asbestos is a natural mineral that was commonly used in construction materials until the late 20th century. It has since been banned due to its harmful effects on human health. When asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed, it releases fibers that can cause serious respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Thats why it is crucial to dispose of asbestos-containing materials properly. Asbestos waste is classified as hazardous, and as such, it requires special disposal methods to prevent further harm to humans and the environment.
