About Asbestos Clause Samples

About Asbestos. Asbestos is a heat- and fire-resistant mineral that was commonly used in building materials like flooring, ceilings, roofs, and automotive parts. It was not until the 1950s that the connection between asbestos exposure and impacts to human health became clear. Asbestos can be dangerous to human health because it can break down into microscopic fibers that can be inhaled and cause serious diseases such as Mesothelioma, Asbestosis, lung cancer, and other cancers. Exposure to asbestos can occur through inhalation of fibers and by direct contact with skin.
