    Defining Asbestos

    According to Merriam-Webster, "asbestos is any of several minerals (such as chrysotile) that readily separate into long flexible fibers, that cause asbestosis and have been implicated as causes of certain cancers, and that have been used especially formerly as fireproof insulating materials."

    How can people be exposed to Asbestos?
    According to the United States EPA, "Asbestos fibers may be released into the air by the disturbance of asbestos-containing material during product use, demolition work, building or home maintenance, repair, and remodeling. In general, exposure may occur only when the asbestos-containing material is disturbed or damaged in some way to release particles and fibers into the air."

    Why was asbestos used in so many building materials in the past?
    Asbestos was used for the following reasons: 
    • naturally occurring  “A Rock”, 
    • silicate Mineral, and
    • chemical resistant.
    What are the 6 types of asbestos defined by the EPA's Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act AHERA?
    • chrysotile, (serpentine) and it makes up over 95% of all asbestos used,
    • crocidolite (riebeckite),
    • amosite (cummingtonite-grunerite),
    • anthophyllite,
    • tremolite, or
    • actinolite.
