Asbestos Information 

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that consists of microscopic bundles of fibers that may become airborne when damaged or disturbed. When these airborne particles are inhaled, they can cause very serious health problems such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Because of these risks to human health, the EPA and CPSC have banned several asbestos products.

Asbestos has been used for fireproofing and in thermal insulation and other building materials. It is most commonly found in older homes, in pipe and furnace insulation materials, shingles, floor tiles, millboard, textured paints, and other coating materials.
