Asbestos is a dangerous material commonly found in older buildings, including residential and commercial properties. The material was widely used in building construction prior to the 1980s due to its fire-retardant properties and resistance to heat and chemicals. However, the material has since been identified as a significant health hazard due to its potential to cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious respiratory illnesses. These illnesses can develop years after exposure, making it difficult to detect and treat effectively.
