Asbestos is a natural mineral that was once used extensively in the construction industry due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, prolonged exposure to asbestos can cause severe health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos-containing materials can be found in many common building materials such as insulation, flooring, and roofing materials. If you suspect that your home or business may contain asbestos, it is essential to seek professional help immediately.
