Asbestos was widely used in building materials such as insulation, roofing, and flooring. The mineral fibers in these materials can become airborne when disturbed, creating a risk of inhalation. This can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Asbestos was also common in industrial settings, including manufacturing and construction. Workers and their families who are at risk of exposure to asbestos include those who work in construction, insulation, plumbing, electrical work, drywall, and demolition work.

Asbestos exposure is dangerous and deadly, and the only way to protect your health is to remove all asbestos-containing materials from your home or business. For this reason, it is important to hire a professional asbestos removal company who can safely remove and dispose of these materials.
