Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in construction materials before its harmful effects were discovered. It is made of microscopic fibers that, when inhaled, can cause serious health issues, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Asbestos poses significant health risks when it is disturbed, leading to the release of fibers that get airborne and can be easily inhaled.

Asbestos removal is the process of identifying, containing, and removing asbestos-containing material in a building. As per the government guidelines, it is recommended to have a survey carried out to check the presence of asbestos and the necessary measures for its removal.
