Asbestos testing is the process of testing materials to determine if they contain asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was widely used in building and construction, particularly from the 1950s to the 1980s. Its durability, heat resistance, and insulation properties made it a popular choice for construction. However, asbestos is now known to cause severe health problems such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are still present in many buildings and pose a severe threat to the health of those living or working in them. That's why it's essential to have these materials tested by a professional asbestos testing company.
