What Is Asbestos?

[ahlam1399]

The prolonged inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses including malicious lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis (a type of pneumoconiosis). One can't tell whether a material contains asbestos simply by looking at it, unless it is labeled. If in doubt, treat the material as if it contains asbestos or have it sampled and analyzed by a qualified professional. A professional should take samples for analysis, since a professional knows what to look for, and because there may be an increased health risk if fibers are released.
