Asbestos can be found in a wide range of building materials, including insulation, roofing tiles, and floor tiles. Although it was widely used in the construction industry in the past due to its strength and heat-resistance, we now know that asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, tiny fibers can be released into the air, which can be inhaled and cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory diseases. This is why its crucial to ensure that asbestos is disposed of properly.
