So what is asbestos exactly?
Asbestos if a mineral made up of soft and flexible fibers that are very resistant to corrosion, electricity and heat (which is why it was used commonly in construction materials).

The problem is that if asbestos fibers or particles are inhaled, they can become trapped in a persons lungs and airways. When this happens, inflammation and scarring occurs over time and cancer and lung disease almost always eventuate.
