Asbestos Abatement

Asbestos is a mineral fiber that can cause scarring of lung tissue (asbestosis) and inflammation of the lung cavity. Asbestos exposure also increases the incidence of lung cancer and other cancers. Due to its strength, heat resistance and chemical properties, asbestos was used in a wide variety of products and materials.

Scientific and medical concerns about exposure to asbestos and government regulation of the use of asbestos, have caused industries to produce and use much fewer asbestos-containing materials since the late 1970s.
