What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a toxic natural mineral. It has been mined and used for centuries because of its durability and heat/chemical resistance properties. It has been commonly used in building construction materials for its insulation and fire-retardant characteristics.

Asbestos is most commonly found in older buildings and homes in such building materials as flooring products (floor tile, linoleum), floor mastics, millboards, pop-corn ceiling material, furnace insulation materials, etc. Improper attempts to remove asbestos products can be hazardous, as they can release asbestos fibers into the air.
