Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Due to its high toxicity, it is essential that asbestos is properly disposed of to prevent further harm to individuals and the environment. Asbestos was commonly used in building materials such as insulation, tiles, roofing, and ceilings. If your property was built before 2000, there is a high chance that it contains asbestos.
