Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials until the late 1990s. It was valued for its durability, heat resistance, and insulation properties. However, it was also discovered that asbestos fibers can cause serious lung diseases when inhaled. This led to regulations banning the use of asbestos in most countries, but many buildings still contain this material.

Asbestos can be found in various places around the house, including:

• Insulation
• Roofing materials
• Floor tiles
• Coatings and paints
• Pipes and ducts
• Textured ceiling and wall finishes
