Asbestos is a dangerous hazardous substance that can pose serious health risks to those who come into contact with it. This naturally occurring mineral has been used in a wide range of products for many years, including building materials, insulation, and fireproofing materials. While asbestos is no longer used in new products, it can still be found in many older buildings and homes.

When asbestos is disturbed or damaged, it can release small fibers into the air. These fibers can be inhaled and cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. That's why asbestos disposal is so important.
