Asbestos refer to a group of naturally occurring minerals that have been widely used in the construction industry. They are popular owing to their unique qualities, including natural resistance to fire, electrical and chemical damage, and their strength and durability. They were common construction materials used in a wide range of products like insulation, roofing, and flooring.

However, it has been scientifically proven that exposure to asbestos can cause life-threatening conditions, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. It is, therefore, essential to know whether your building or home is free from any asbestos-containing material.
