Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber found in rock and soil. Due to its durability and heat resistance, asbestos has been widely used in a variety of building materials, including insulation, fire retardants, shingles, tiles, drywall, plaster, popcorn ceilings, and cement products. It is also found in certain automobile parts like clutches, brakes, and transmission components. The release of asbestos fibers can occur during demolition, renovations, or when handling damaged asbestos-containing materials. Inhaling these fibers can lead to serious health issues, including asbestosis, pleural diseases, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.
