Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in the construction of buildings in the past. It is composed of several minerals that are known for their heat and chemical resistance properties. These minerals can be released into the air when asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed.

Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health issues, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Therefore, it is important to remove asbestos-containing materials from your building as soon as possible.
