What is asbestos?

“Asbestos is a mineral fiber that has been used commonly in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. Because of its fiber strength and heat resistant properties, asbestos has been used for a wide range of manufactured goods…”

Where can asbestos be found?

Asbestos can be found in a number of commonly used building products, including but not limited to; roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper products, asbestos cement products, drywall and plaster, joint compounds, adhesives, window glazing and mastics.

Why is asbestos harmful?

“When asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed by repair, remodeling or demolition activities, microscopic fibers become airborne and can be inhaled into the lungs, where they can cause significant health problems.”
