Asbestos was an extremely popular building material used in homes, offices, schools, and other commercial buildings until the 1980s. It was widely used due to its durability, resistance to heat, and insulation properties.

However, we now know that inhaling asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These diseases can take years, if not decades, to develop, but once they do, they are usually fatal.

Therefore, if you suspect that your building contains asbestos, it is important to have it removed safely and efficiently by a professional asbestos removal company.
