The word asbestos actually comes from the Greek word meaning “inextinguishable” or “indestructible” and it was just that so this is why it was used in many buildings across the world simply because of its Strength, heat/sound Insulation, Fire protection, resistant to chemicals, water and electricity.
Unfortunately exposure to Asbestos primarily caused through inhalation of unsealed tiny fibres that can linger in the air for a considerable time can lead to diseases such as Asbestosis, Lung Cancer or Mesothelioma.
