Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used in many building materials, such as insulation, roofing, and flooring. Although asbestos fibers are microscopic, they can become airborne and pose a serious threat to human health when inhaled. Asbestos exposure can cause a number of life-threatening illnesses, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Due to the health risks associated with asbestos exposure, it is essential to dispose of asbestos waste properly. Asbestos waste must be handled and disposed of by a licensed and accredited disposal company in accordance with local and national regulations to ensure the safety of the public and the environment.
