Asbestos
is a group of minerals naturally occurring in the environment in fiber bundles which
can be separated into skinny, strong filaments. These filaments are heat resistant
as well as to fire and chemicals and it does not conduct electricity. Because
of this, it has been utilized in many industries. However it was banned because
if asbestos are bothered, the filaments are released to the air and get trapped
in the lungs which will stay for a long time. They will then bundle up cause damaging
and swelling, which eventually, affects breathing to more serious health issues.
