Asbestos is a name given to a number of naturally occurring minerals that have been mined for their useful properties such as thermal insulation, chemical and thermal stability, and high tensile strength.
Asbestos has a variety of uses, including but not limited to: pipe fittings, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, glue, drywall texture, insulation, fire proofing, acoustical spray, and vehicle brakes. Asbestos is not an immediate hazard if it is in good condition and can be left alone. It becomes hazardous if it is disturbed or damaged, for example, through water damage, vibration, wind damage, or construction projects. |
