Asbestos is the name given to a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals that are resistant to heat and corrosion. Because of these properties, Asbestos has been used in commercial products such as insulation and fireproofing materials, automotive brakes, and wallboard materials. If products containing Asbestos are disturbed, tiny Asbestos fibers are released into the air. When Asbestos fibers are breathed in, they may get trapped in the lungs and remain there for a long time. Over time, accumulated Asbestos fibers can cause tissue Inflammation and scarring, which can affect breathing and Lead to serious health problems.
