What Is Asbestos and Why Is It Dangerous?
Asbestos was commonly used in construction materials before 1980 (sometimes after) because of its heat resistance and durability. However, it is now known to cause lung diseases, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer when inhaled.
Asbestos is not dangerous if left undisturbed, but when materials break, crack, or deteriorate, the fibers can become airborne. That’s why testing is essential before any remodeling, repair, or demolition work.
