Asbestos

Asbestos is a fire-resistant and heat-insulating mineral that was widely used in the construction industry from the 1950s until the 1980s. It was used in a wide range of products, including roofing materials, insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, cement, and textiles. Asbestos can pose a serious health risk when it is inhaled or ingested.

The inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious lung diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. The effects of asbestos exposure may take many years to develop, which is why it is important to be vigilant and to take measures to protect yourself and your family.
