Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in construction materials such as insulation, tiles, roofing, pipes, cement and more. It was prized for its fireproofing and insulating properties. However, asbestos is also extremely hazardous to human health. When asbestos fibers are released into the air and inhaled, they can cause serious lung diseases including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.

Asbestos is now prohibited in many countries, but many buildings and homes still contain asbestos materials. If you suspect that your building or home contains asbestos, it is crucial to get it removed by a professional asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon.
