What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is the name given to a group of minerals that occur naturally in the environment as bundles of fibers. These fibers are resistant to heat, fire, and chemicals and do not conduct electricity. For these reasons, asbestos has been widely used in a variety of building products such as:
HVAC/attic insulation
Home Maintenance or Renovation
Acoustic spray or "popcorn" ceilings
Ceiling tiles
Floor tiles and sheet flooring
Mastics and adhesives
Wallboard joint compound
Roofing and siding shingles
Is it Harmful?
Asbestos-containing materials are generally safe if left undisturbed. However, they become hazardous when disturbed, releasing asbestos fibers into the air that can be inhaled. These disturbances often occur during:
Demolition projects
Catastrophic events such as fires or floods
When asbestos fibers are released into the air and inhaled, they can accumulate in the lungs, leading to scarring, inflammation, and severe health conditions, including:
Lung cancer
Mesothelioma
Asbestosis
