Asbestos Products
Asbestos products are materials that contain asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral known for its heat resistance and insulating properties. Commonly used in construction, these products include insulation, roofing shingles, floor tiles, and cement sheets. Due to its durability, asbestos was favored in many industries, particularly in the mid-20th century.
However, the use of asbestos has significantly declined due to health concerns. Inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to serious diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. As a result, many countries have implemented strict regulations to limit or ban the use of asbestos in products.
