Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once popular for its fire-resistant properties, but it's now known to pose serious health risks. When asbestos fibers become airborne and are inhaled, they can lead to lung diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. The danger increases with prolonged exposure, making it crucial to identify and manage any asbestos-containing materials in your home. Factors such as the age of your home, the condition of materials, and potential renovation plans can influence the level of risk.
