Asbestos

Asbestos Information and Resources

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals with long, thin fibrous crystals. The term comes from the Greek word meaning inextinguishable because it could withstand heat.

Because of its heat resistance and tensile strength, asbestos was widely used in manufacturing and building. Asbestos was used in brake shoes and gaskets, electric oven and hotplate wiring and in buildings. Even though this material could resist heat, electricity and chemicals, which made it a miracle material, it can cause serious health problems. When asbestos fibers are released into the air, they can be inhaled and become lodged in lung tissue. This can lead to serious health problems including asbestosis and mesothelioma. Asbestos has been banned in most developed nations.
