What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and manufacturing until the late 1980s. Asbestos can be found in various materials such as insulation, roofing, flooring, and pipes. It is a known carcinogen that can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis when it is inhaled.

Risks of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos exposure can lead to long-term health problems, as the fibers are inhaled and cannot be removed from the body. Exposure to asbestos can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis, which can be fatal. The risk of developing these diseases increases with the level and frequency of asbestos exposure.

Identifying Asbestos-Containing Materials

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can be difficult to identify, as they are often mixed with other materials. Some of the most common ACMs include ceiling tiles, floor tiles, insulation, and pipes. ACMs can be identified by visual inspection, sampling, and laboratory analysis.
