Asbestos

Asbestos, once widely used in construction for its fire-resistant properties, poses severe dangers when its fibers become airborne and are inhaled. Prolonged exposure can lead to serious respiratory diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Therefore, handling asbestos requires strict adherence to safety protocols, including proper containment, removal by certified professionals, and disposal in accordance with regulations. Vigilance in identifying and managing asbestos-containing materials is essential to safeguarding public health and ensuring occupational safety in industries where asbestos exposure may occur.
