Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials until its ban in 2000. Asbestos materials usually appear in two forms friable and non-friable. Friable asbestos is easier to crumble, release fibers into the air, and is more hazardous. On the other hand, non-friable asbestos is harder and stable, reducing the risk of exposure to persons near them.

Asbestos fibers are incredibly small, and when inhaled, they can lodge in the lungs and cause diseases. They are known to cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Therefore, it's crucial to have any asbestos-containing material removed from your building immediately.
