What is Asbestos & is it Serious?
There are thousands of asbestos-containing materials on the market and used in construction products since the 1800s.
Asbestos is undeniably a great fire-resistant material and a highly effective insulator, yet it is also dangerous.
Asbestos is made of tiny fibers 80 times smaller than one human hair, so it’s easy to inhale and can lead to various health conditions.
Asbestos can cause several severe conditions, including
- Asbestosis
- Cancer
- And other lung problems
Asbestos was made illegal for commercial use in Texas in 1978, so asbestos is much more common in older buildings. However, Texas law requires all buildings to be inspected, no matter the facility's age.
