What is Asbestos and Why is it Dangerous to Humans?
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that was once widely used in construction materials during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s because of its strength, durability, and heat resistance.
The threat of asbestos lies in its microscopic fibers, which contain dangerous carcinogens that are health hazards to humans. These fibers can easily become airborne when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged. Inhaling or ingesting these asbestos fibers can lead to serious health problems, including:
- Lung Cancer
