Asbestos is a dangerous, naturally occurring silicate that has a fibrous texture. It was heavily used in construction materials, especially in the mid-1900s. When the asbestos-containing material is disturbed or damaged in any way, it releases microscopic fibers into the air that can be easily inhaled. Over time, these fibers accumulate in the lungs, leading to serious health issues in the form of asbestosis or lung cancer. Asbestos even causes mesothelioma, a rare cancer that does not have a cure.
