What is Asbestos and Why is it Dangerous?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was once widely used in construction materials due to its strength, durability, and heat resistance.
The danger of asbestos lies in its microscopic fibers, which can easily become airborne when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged. Inhaling or ingesting these fibers can trap them in the respiratory system or digestive tract. Long-term exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious health problems, including:
- Lung Cancer
- Asbestosis
- Mesothelioma
- Ovarian Cancer
- Laryngeal Cancer & more
