Chrysotile, commonly known as asbestos, is a naturally occurring mineral that is part of the serpentine group. It is composed of long, thin fibers that are resistant to heat, fire, and chemical damage. Due to these properties, chrysotile has been widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing, primarily for insulation and fireproofing materials. However, chrysotile is associated with serious health risks, including lung diseases and cancers such as mesothelioma. As a result, many countries have imposed strict regulations or bans on its use. Awareness of these dangers has led to a decline in chrysotile production and usage worldwide.
