asbestos is a toxic mineral that was commonly used in building materials until the late 1970s. Asbestos can be found in many older homes in roof tiles, insulation, and cement wall siding. Its use has declined in recent years, but asbestos exposure is still believed to be a factor in 40,000 deaths a year in the US, according to the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization. As such, awareness regarding asbestos is important for understanding and mitigating risks in your home.
