Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in construction and other industries due to their heat resistance, strength, and insulation properties. Unfortunately, asbestos exposure is a serious health risk, and it can lead to several diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were used in various construction materials, such as roofing, insulation, floor tiles, and walls. If your building was constructed before 2000, there is a high chance that it contains ACMs. If you are planning to renovate or demolish your building, you must ensure that you have a professional asbestos removal company to handle the asbestos materials to avoid exposure to hazardous fibres.
