Asbestos has been a commonly used building material for several decades due to its heat resistance, durability, and insulation properties. It's prevalent in many old buildings, including homes, schools, and offices. However, the material poses a significant risk to human health, causing fatal diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

The inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to serious and often fatal lung diseases. Asbestos fibers are too small to see and can remain airborne for extended periods, increasing the likelihood of inhaling them. While asbestos poses a significant health risk, the material is not dangerous if left undisturbed.

If you suspect that your building contains asbestos, you should seek the assistance of a professional asbestos removal company. This is the only way to guarantee that the asbestos will be safely removed, and the risk of exposure minimized.
