What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a thin and fibrous silicate mineral that is very durable. It was used in a wide variety of building materials throughout the 1980s. Asbestos is composed of millions of microscopic fibrils. There are 6 known asbestos mineral types known as carcinogens: Actinolite, Amphibole, Amosite, Chrysotile, and Crocidolite. When the material that contains asbestos is damaged or decomposing, the fibers become airborne and can be inhaled by anyone who is not wearing the proper protective gear.
The good news is that asbestos is only harmful when it has been disturbed. Keep in mind that if your property is damaged or you are planning on remodeling your property your health could be at risk if your property has asbestos-containing materials.
