Asbestos
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a mineral made up of thin, needle-like fibers, belonging to a category of six different fibrous minerals. It is known for its resistance to heat, electricity, and corrosion, which has led to its widespread use in various industries such as the military and construction.
Health Affects
Asbestos fibers are only harmful when airborne, as they break down into tiny particles that can be inhaled and accumulate in the lungs, leading to scarring and inflammation. Various U.S. health organizations have classified asbestos as a carcinogen, a substance known to cause cancer. If you have or think you have come in contact with asbestos material please reach out to your healthcare professional.
