What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is dangerous to our bodies when inhaled or ingested. It is incredibly durable and offers impressive heat resistance, so for many decades, before the understanding of its harmful nature, it was used for insulation, construction, and automotive products. It is composed of thin fibers which when in the human body can lead to all kinds of health issues, many of which are potentially lethal. It has been proven to contribute to illnesses including different cancers, which are a result of exposure to asbestos over many years.

Where can it be found?

Most examples of people being exposed to asbestos happen in the workplace, but it is not uncommon to be found at home too. It was commonly used in auto parts, construction materials, insulation, electrical parts, and cement. It was even found historically in cloth, paper, household appliances, children’s toys, and talc-based cosmetics! These days this kind of use is banned but there are some types of asbestos that are still legal and can be used in industries including automotive repair, Firefighting, renovation and repair works, Oilfield Brake Block Repair, and others.

Asbestos Testing

In the US the government has been phasing out asbestos use since the late 1970s. This means that at this point, it is not commonly used, although many people still come into contact with the dangerous fibers in existing settings.
